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.

We took this trip for our honeymoon. Overall, it was a good experience. The room was kept clean but a bit dated. The property was beautiful. The food was good and the dining areas were clean. Some of the male staff members were not the friendliest but we didn't let it ruin our trip. We are willing to try other Occidental properties but will most likely not return to this one.

Food: Breakfast consistently felt below standard. Nothing extraordinary. Lunch options were okay but not fantastic. We much preferred the snack bar. Supper meals were enjoyable only at the restaurants Orient and Italian. The buffet options were consistently disappointing. The New Years Supper was excellent!!! I did wish there was additional celebration elements like fireworks similar to other resorts we seen. Would have elevated the experience. Beach (2/10) My major complaint is the beach size and atmosphere. The beach itself is extremely small. For an adults only resort the environment on the beach did not reflect that at expectation at all. Included a large amount of local children which made the area extremely loud. We’ve been lucky to visit many resorts and they have designed separate areas for resort guests and public visitors. The beach situation was the primary reason for my low rating. I personally love the beach and I think we were at the beach only twice out of our 7 days because we couldn’t enjoy it. I would not stay at this resort again. Resort: The grounds are well maintained though the property is quite large requiring lots of walking and stairs. Shuttles are available which helps but good to keep that in mind. Activities: Maria, JJ, Larry were amazing for booking excursions. Ricardo was great at taking us to the places we wanted to be!

Room had crabs, spiders, ants daily. Room shower not very clean. I paid for ocean view premium room and asked to pay for a suite upgrade. They don’t even look at system or days your stating and just say no, yet I saw empty ones the entire time we were there. I asked if I could get refunded fur last two days of my stay so we could relocate and I was told to email the manager who never responded with multiple attempts. Getting coffee refills in am was so hard to get. Food was disappointing at best. We ate off property last day because we couldn’t do any more meals there. Even reservation restaurant food was just edible. Fruit was only thing good. No pool side service or water . Swim up bar is dingy. As soon as you step on beach you get asked about paying for messages . Locals can use beach chairs so they fill up fast. Pool needs work was foggy and dirty. No yoga classes at time it says , I showed up at 8 and nothing. No one at beach to help with kayaks. Drinks are not good and barely any alcohol in them no matter what you order you can have multiple drinks without noticing any alcohol. “No liquor before 11am” apparently but this changed depending on who you asked. “No champagne” yet they have mimosas at one location but not the others. It’s Costa Rica and coffee was out of a machine and tasted awful. I would not stay here. American cancelled our flights and we were a day late and hotel could do nothing, they couldn’t refund day we missed, or add day.
