Not the best
Rooms are very dated. It is a very large resort and has A LOT of stairs and hills. The pavers are not safe, there is no lighting at night and can be dangerous walking. There is absolutely NO entertainment at all. The lobby was dead at 8 pm, so if you want to spend time alone in your room, this is the place to go. The beach as massage people hounding you everytime you go there.

Happy ending
If you’re looking to relax and do not much at the resort, this is a place for you. Food was average. Staff was friendly. Definitely a good place to put your bags at and head on the road to do some adventure tours.

Anniversary trip
The hotel and buffet restaurant was fine. The toilet ran constantly and the maintenance staff seemed irritated about fixing the sink that was already having issues. We were told we could only make reservations the day of the desired restaurant that was open. However when we asked to make reservations they were booked two days in advance. So we never got to experience the special restaurants. Several staff members were rude and not helpful. Overall it was not a horrible experience but it was not a top rated resort as we had imagined, As a travel agent I would not recommend this resort.

Very good value
The grounds were very nice and the view is great! Meals are included and are pretty good overall. Really liked the beach there and also just walking around the campus was relaxing and enjoyable.

Loving this resort and what it has to offer 🐒 🦎 ☀️
Enjoying our stay immensely! Feeling very relaxed sitting on our balcony enjoying the bay view on one side and the dry forest on the other. We love hiking and enjoying animals and nature so this resort was the perfect choice for us. Needed a quieter resort this time so this was perfect. Staff is very happy and helpful. Met some really nice travellers who are also enjoying what Occidental Papagayo has to offer. The mahi mahi at the buffet was done perfect and very delicious. Travelled many times to different destinations with different experiences. Happy with our decision to book this resort.
