Most everything about this resort was great. My only issue was getting around was a little inconvenient as you have to wait for a ride and at times this was a long wait. Other than that the staff, food and my room were great. Everyone was helpful and there was a variety of food to eat. I am vegetarian and I had no problem finding food to accommodate.

This resort exceeded our expectations based on reviews, pictures, and price. We definitely recommend upgrading to a Premium room for a low fee to enjoy all the amenities that comes with it. Customer service was hit or miss and food quality/options was average but we were still satisifed overall. Would definitely stay again.

The property was beautiful and well kept. The pictures give an appearance that the buildings were spread far apart but they were actually close together. So yes, there were stairs and you had to walk but it wasn’t too bad. The shuttle service was good and a big thank you to William for his kindness and being prompt with the shuttle. The room was clean and spacious and the air conditioning was excellent. The room cleaning service was excellent. Overall the staff were friendly. The pools were well maintained. The beach was amazing. However, the pools as well as everything else shuts down at 7pm. The lighting is scarce at dark and there is nothing to do and no outdoor entertainment after dark. It’s go eat dinner and go to bed. The food was okay however, the selection of food was not. If you want a big buffet, this is not the place. Also, the same foods were served everyday, with basically only one other main meat besides pork. Also, you had to provide your room number each time you entered the restaurant, staff seated you, and got your drink. It was not a place where you could just get up and get your drink on your own. Also, you could only eat the buffet once per meal and could not come and go. Overall, the resort was beautiful and the beach was great. If you are looking for a place very low key, quiet, and are okay with basic meals then this is the place. But, if you like to try a wide variety of foods/deserts then this is not the place.

It was not very welcoming. We didn’t like the fact that we couldn’t have access to the hotel amenities until 11 am, we landed at 6:30am ,, although we understand that our room wouldn’t be ready until 3 pm, not having access to go inside the hotel was very disappointing., They were charging additional fees to go in early.

We had an amazing stay at Occidental Papagayo! The resort grounds were beautifully maintained, and we really loved how everything was laid out. Although there’s a shuttle available, we only used it for check-in and check-out since everything felt conveniently close. Our premium bay room was perfect—the view was absolutely breathtaking. The entertainment in the evenings was just right for us, and we especially enjoyed the guitar and saxophone player. The premium bar offered incredible views and excellent service; a special thanks to Kattya and Mila for making our visits there extra enjoyable. Dining was a highlight as well. The buffet always had a nice variety—omelets at breakfast were a favorite, and the prime rib at lunch along with Costa Rican night were must-tries. We also dined at all three à la carte restaurants, each offering something unique and delicious. On our last day, we treated ourselves to the spa with a couples massage and facial. It was the perfect way to unwind after all of our excursions and made it a little easier to slide back into reality. We celebrated a birthday trip here and couldn’t have chosen a better place. It was truly memorable, and we’re already looking forward to returning next year!

They decided to do works at the pool with a pneumatic drill at 5.30am in the morning. They thought this was acceptable. The food and drinks were sub par but you get what you pay for - it was about 180 usd a night.

Well our time is over in Costa Rica and at the Occidental Papagayo. Time for my review We actually stayed in 2 rooms when we were there the standard room over looking well basically nothing lol on the 2nd floor. The room is very nice The bed is really comfortable And you gets Iots of pillows LMAO the bathroom is spacious enough. So before we arrived I emailed the resort and told them my wife has issues climbing stairs and its her 60th birthday so if we could get something on main level and our daughter is also coming with her own separate room could we get something close together. I never heard back. When we checked in a was taken our rooms We went to our daughter's 2202 and wow wow wow Then to our room as I said before it was nice but the other
