    japanese restaurant
    beach access
    lounge chair rush

    I had an awesome time enjoying the beach and trying out the Japanese restaurant, which had a great show! The pool area was super relaxing and the beach access was just lovely. Just a heads up, getting a lounge chair can be a bit of a rush in the mornings! 🌴

    nice gardens
    stolen belongings

    not worth the hassle

    Honestly, this place was a bummer. Someone stole my shorts at the pool, and when I asked the staff for help, they just shrugged it off. The pool was clean, but everything else felt outdated and not well-kept. The bar drinks were super weak. If you're looking for a nice stay, look elsewhere.

    towel swan

    It was just an appropriate option for a momentary pause in Tamarindo with reasonable price. We had a lovely folded towel swan with hibiscus on the bed for my birthday. Consider trying food options outside the resort for more variety.

    drainage issue

    The beach isn't suitable for swimming. with massive surfing waves, it's more about the view than actual enjoyment in the water. The bathroom in the superior room had a drainage issue, which could be annoying. Additionally, the pool table only accepted quarters, making it inconvenient without any change available. Music played at the pool lacked variety, which detracted from the overall atmosphere.

    beautiful beach
    clean facilities

    The beach was stunning with a river for body surfing and wildlife like monkeys on site. The facility was well-kept, and children's areas were available.

    Felt it like being home, no complaints at all.

    beautiful pool
    delicious meals
    great service
    understaffed front

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Occidental Tamarindo. The pool area provided a beautiful relaxation spot with stunning sunsets. Great dining options at the main dining area offered delicious meals daily. However, front desk service could use improvement as they often seemed understaffed.

    helpful staff
    rough waves

    The food was very good and fresh, but the

    beach conditions were less than ideal for swimming due to rough waves. Although there was a life guard present, it’s important to prioritize safety. The staff at the buffet were pleasant and helpful, which made our stay enjoyable.

    secluded beach
    garden view
    service delay

    great location but minor service delays

    The staff was incredibly friendly, making my three-night stay enjoyable. The beach area felt wonderfully secluded with unique lava formations. I appreciated the garden view from my room, which added a nice touch to the ambiance.

    There were occasional delays with service at the pool bar, which disrupted the flow of relaxation.

    food quality
    inconsistent service

    The beach access at the hotel is top-notch, and I enjoyed the variety of fresh fruits available. However, the food quality was hit-or-miss, often repetitive and bland, with inconsistent service that made the stay less enjoyable overall.
