Property was extremely outdated and our room was very inconvenient due to having to climb stairs to get from the entry of room to the actual room! The food was mediocre at best, low quality meats and selections. Check out process was a pain. The only pro, was the free premium dining options that they give you every 3 days.

This property was a disappointment. The room smelled like mold, the water would not get hot in the shower, the toilet would not flush completely, and anything that deviated from what they considered the norm, was not acceptable. The cleaning person went through my daughter's luggage and repacked, and puts things in it. We had trouble getting extra towels only upon request. And the policy of having a towel card where you have to pay $35 if you don't have it is ridiculous.

The resort is in a beautiful location right on Playa Langosto and walking distance to Tamarindo. The layout is gorgeous and the hotel staff are very friendly. The entertainment in the evening was very nice with the dancers putting up a different show every night. This is not a five star resort. The food was very simple and got boring after a day, and the shower was never even lukewarm. We still had a great time.

Place is ok. I wouldn’t stay again though. It’s not actually all inclusive unless you stay more than 3 days. Buffet food is pretty bad even compared to other all inclusives. Beach is ok but not great unless you’ve never surfed anywhere good before. Very beginner waves and rocky. Amazing place to watch sunset though that’s the biggest plus

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.
