The place had everything you would need. Food, Drinks, beach access, and (even though I did not use their services because I didnt know they had them) they have excursions on site. The only two gripes I have is they offer a luxury upgrade for premium liquor and free room service, but only one location has the premium liquor and its at the very top of the resort. This leads to my second gripe which is the amount of walking needed to enjoy the resort. They do have shuttles, but they get full quickly and show up rarely or you call for one and it comes slowly. Still enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.

The property is beautiful but unfortunately the condition of the rooms needs a lot of attention. We had lights not working and hot water not working. The staff could only do so much. Every time you called the front seat they would say the will send things right away but no one would show up. There was no consistency in the services provided. Their main restaurant had no air conditioner and so it was like eating in a sauna. Overall the staff was good but the services provided were very poor.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. We wanted to go somewhere that was easy to get to and that didn't need any extra planning ahead of time. All inclusive was great, deluxe room with a bay view was worth it, and so was the premier upgrade that got us into the premier bar/lounge. The food at the restaurants was much better than the buffet, but the buffet was still fine. Tours with On the Beach Tours were great, and we liked spending time at the beach every day. Overall, we were happy with this for an affordable and easy-to-plan honeymoon.

I stayed at two other resorts before arriving at Occidental Papagayo, and while the property itself has beautiful views and a great location, the overall experience was disappointing—mainly due to poor staff service. The front desk staff were unhelpful and unresponsive, and the security personnel at the entrance and exit were outright rude. This was not a language issue—we had excellent service at two other nearby resorts where communication was never a problem. The rooms are outdated, though they were kept clean. The bathroom felt like something out of an old care facility—low water pressure, a broken faucet, and an overall worn-out feel. The security safe didn’t work, and no one made any effort to fix it, even after we reported it. Housekeeping never showed up, despite reminders. The shuttle system between the parking area and rooms was inconvenient. We booked an ocean view room but were given one almost entirely blocked by trees, with little to no view. The food was average at best—breakfast was decent, but the lunch and dinner buffet were below expectations. Although we made the most of our stay by enjoying the beach and scenery, the resort’s management and service were lacking. I won’t be staying here again.

The property was okay. The food selection was lacking variety, pretty much the same selection everyday. There is no where to get food late night (after 11pm) unless you are paying. The entertain is none. They had a few activities going on at the main pool, but after 4pm music is turned off by the pool and that’s it. There is a swim up bar in the second pool but close at 5pm. There is a disco at 8, but the music is geared to Latinos. They need a variety of music for all cultures and ages. There were raccoons roaming the property freely (terrified). They offer no top shelf alcohol only rail. All and all my husband and I went to rekindle and reconnect and that’s what we did. I would not stay there again.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. I was disappointed in the management of the the property. Arriving guests had to wait a long time to check In and to get simple questions answered. They never answered the phones at all. The property is huge so you have to walk a lot but they have shuttles that never seemed to come to our building. They have limited towels and the food was horrible. There were very limited food choices and it was bland to taste. We tried the specialty dinning and the food was not good at all. We had to check out early due to having to drive 3 hours to another airport. The attendant would not let us exit without a piece of paper and this caused us to travel late during the night. If the lines weren’t so long we should have just been able to leave. I would not stay here again unless they made a lot of changes to their iteniary.
