Enjoyed our stay! A lot of the reviews commented on the rooms, I personally thought the rooms were nice. However, we were missing some towels and robes, but it wasn’t really a problem for us. It’s not the most clean - we had some dirt and marks on the sheets and the towels were a little old. But again, we weren’t expecting anything crazy. The shower water would be cold around dinner time, probably because everyone else is also showering and getting ready for dinner. Just don’t be expecting a super luxurious stay! The staff were very friendly, loved how helpful they were and the entertainment staff were great. Check-In process was a bit difficult because it oddly took a very long time in queue which is just a bit of a test of patience after a flight and two hour drive to the hotel. The dinner also starts a bit late (7pm) so if you have children, that’s something to consider. There are some odd downtime times between the two bars. Food is generally rice, beans, steamed veggies and some protein options. Pretty good! Enjoyed the fresh fruits. The excursions lady didn’t really describe the excursions accurately but we weren’t disappointed with the trip. We ended up renting a car and doing our own excursions. The area is a bit far from hikes and main excursions, but still worth it if you can go. Tamarindo is beautiful for beach and surf vibes, this hotel is walkable or a short uber ride (approx $4 USD) away from the Main Street and beach.

Food options were horrible, we checked in at 3:15 but the lady was soooo slow helping the person infront of us that we had to wait 45 minute and they said okay you can eat dinner at the restaurant tonight just need to make a reservation so we said okay can we make the restaurant and she said no we only take them till 4:00pm. You can eat at the snack bar at the pool which was chicken nuggets and French fries. Even the next day when we were able to go to the restaurant which a reservation the food was extremely limited in options they only let us order off of half the menu and then charged us extra for it even though the resort is all inclusive.

This place is passable. It's on the beach, has a good pool, and the sunset just outside the hotel is stunning. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but feel like the hotel cut corners. The food was decent at best, the staff seemed overworked and unappreciated, And they kept running out of things at integral parts of our trip. Truthfully, I was disappointed in Expedia for listing this as a 4 star hotel. It could be, but issues need to be addressed before I would agree with them.

The property was clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated. Staff were friendly and courteous, but there’s room for improvement in overall service. The buffet experience fell short, with inconsistent water service and table settings. Towel supply also varied during our stay, with hand towels or face cloths occasionally missing. Unfortunately, the à la carte dining didn’t offer much of an upgrade, with food quality not far off from the standard buffet fare.

Great for a chill time. The basic rooms are just that…so if you are just looking for a clean comfortable place to sleep because you want to lay out by the pool/beach and not think about food, this is a perfect place. If you are super bougie, you may be disappointed if you book their standard room. The spa and staff there are fabulous and do a great job.

Pleasant place for a laid back family vacation.

The Occidental Tamarindo is one of a handful of All Inclusives in Costa Rica. Keep in mind if you’re looking for a Mexican Style “let’s get wasted resort” this is not what you’re looking for. The pace is relaxed and the food at the buffets is local style. If you want steak It’s good but it’s also Not tender like American/Canadian beef. They rate the resort 4/5 stars, really what you have are rooms that would be 3’s, they are ample size comfortable and clean but they were never finished with that 5star building quality to warrant 5 stars. The service is friendly and upbeat, but also laid back. The pool is excellent as is the beach area. Great tours depart from the area and it’s a wonderful place for a great family vacation or couples trip
