Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only All Inclusive

it was lovely

Rooms looked tired, noisy ac, leaking shower and basin. Food was good.

Staff at the Occidental were fantastic! Rooms vary in sizes and layouts and widely spread out throughout the hillside Food was nothing to complain about- not a huge variety compared to other resorts but staff would accomadate by request - (room service has bacon, Buffett does not) We celebrated a couple birthdays and they brought mini cakes to the room, and for dinners Twi pools and swim up pool was near the beach. Beach has excellent options for group tours at discounted rates as well as excellent massage by local therapists - $30-49 US for a hr. Be prepared there is a LOT of walking and many steps. If any mobility issues I would choose another resort. However we loved it and also recommend the premium upgrade. For the premium lounge access and extra perks tgropoolsafternoon.

We liked the hotel and the room we got. The premium upgrade is a must,We loved the bar tender at the premium lounge, Yenileisi, she is awesome. For the room service of the minibar You just need to call almost every day to get water bottles and coffee. The hotel areas are really nice developed. Watch for raccoons though. They want to sneak in your room. The beach is great. You can kayak or have a wonderful relaxing massage from Rosa. The only disappointment is the food. The specialty restaurants have good meat but the chefs don’t know how to cook it properly.. we could get a decent meal at the Oriental restaurant. But the Grill and Italian need more training of the chefs. All in all it was a great stay and we will come back.

Outstanding staff and beautiful location make this resort stand out. This is the second year in a row we have stayed for a week. All inclusive, nice clean rooms, 2 pools, good food. Live entertainment most nights. Pool aerobics are fun. Great birds and iguanas. Monkeys, white squirrels, friendly raccoons and magpies at your door step. The ocean view and beach are amazing. Best food at the regular buffet—the restaurant option is more private, the the food and selection is really the best at the buffet.
