The room was as described, a slight sewage smell and I wasn’t prepared for the racoons but I enjoyed my stay. The beach was nice it’s walkable to a less rocky area. The resort staff were wonderful, it’s walkable to downtown where food, beaches and shops. Jusy offers the best tours and excursions she was also very accommodating. I would go back

The property was what you'd expect for the price. Our check in felt rushed and lacked direction. The food was mediocre. Staff was friendly and rooms & property were clean. Loved the location, quieter side of Tamarindo with some lovely dining options just off property and a 25min walk into the shopping district.

Very happy with our stay at Occidental Tamarindo! First, the staff, I’ve never felt so welcomed any where else. Plenty of food and drinks. Clean rooms and facility in general. Entertainment team made a huge effort every single night and was really appreciated by us. They go above and beyond in every show with whatever resources they have. Special mention to the tours desk in the hotel with Sibü Tours! Yusi is amazing and very personal in every interaction. The best driver ever, Manrique, is all you need when looking for a friend in an unknown destination! He’s our friend now! Francisco, the guide, was fun, friendly and informative (5 stars), and Don Diego the big boss, a very humble, pleasant and friendly guy. Such a great team! We’re already planning to go to Occidental again!

Every thing about this hotel is Sub Par.. Everything…. As soon as we checked in we knew it was going to be a challenge, but we did give it a honest try. We wound leaving immediately from the All-Inclusive dinner and heading into town for a palatable meal. We were greeted by a wild raccoon as we were leaving the “dining room” We knew it was time to leave. We asked to speak to a manager on several occasions to end our trip immediately and forgo any additional days at this hotel. No manager or anyone from Expedia ever contacted us as they both committed they would. Very disappointing all around. Would never stay in an Occidental hotel again. Dirty, unsafe, broken locks air conditioner that didn’t work. ETC,,,,, Sub Par.

My stay 8/24/25 to 8/31/25 Hotel Lobby: Fabulous! Clean, spacious and relaxing Hotel Grounds: Gorgeous! Well maintained property, very clean with lots of photo options. Pool: Only 1, outdated but clean Staff: Kind, helpful and overall nice people. Rooms: Not modern as expected for a tropical country. But very dated, you can see where they did fixtures. First room the AC dripped water from the ceiling so we turned it off and only used the fan. Made it worst so they moved us to another room with no issues. Second room was lovely, higher sealing and the AC was on the wall whether it wanted to drip or not. It just was not dripping on me. Cleanliness is questionable and it depends on how much of a clean freak you are. The headboards, chairs, ceiling and walls had dust, dirt or spots. But my bed and bathroom had strong scent of bleach and that made me happy 😊. FOOD: Oh boy, not sure they tried. Too salty or none at all. Just very bland food options. The options were poor. For an all inclusive there were 10 and 3 of them are different sausages at all times (breakfast lunch and dinner). The drinks were simple, alcohol proof is not high so don’t expect anything strong. My overall stay was an 8/10 because of the entertainment staff. Very cool people who made the best of the stay by the pool and beach.
