Beautiful property with amazing surf! Super fun wave! The main restaurant is not air conditioned and there is not a swim up pool. But the buffet had excellent food and a good selection. Super close to downtown which is fun for food and shopping. The staff was AMAZING! Super helpful and the resort was very clean! We saw a whole family of monkeys in town and tons of fun colorful crabs and iguanas! We will definitely go back!

This is a small simple resort. Very well kept and clean. The food is not fancy but ok. Breakfast is the best of the meals with egg station and fresh fruit smooth station. We enjoyed the sushi and Italian a la carte dinners. We are not a drinkers so I can not say about that. The employees are very nice and all work very hard. The life guard Greddy is awesome. He keep everyone safe and he also take care of my kid who get a see ray brushed on her ankle. Thank you!!!! If you are looking for a fancy resort/meal this is not the place for you.

We weren't sure what to expect from this all inclusive, but it met our needs. Check in was a bit of a hassle, not enough staff, but when they greet you with a nice cold drink, it helps! There were some issues with pool towel tickets, and not enough towels for everyone upon arrival, as most people went right to the pool, but not a big deal. The room access was nice with a wristband that was chip enabled to open your room without having to fumble around and carry a card. The daily buffet had a very nice selection of fresh foods, and the 2 restaurants onsite were good, we liked the Italian better than the hibachi. The snack bar was average, with burgers, fries, chips, etc. Sometimes those items were picked over, cold, or had been sitting out for a while. But the drinks made up for it! Overall a nice place. With a little investment, it could be great!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Occidental Tamarindo Hotel, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore major attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. Despite its central location, the hotel offers a peaceful and serene environment, providing a perfect escape from the bustling city. The service at The Hotel is impeccable. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Special thanks to the concierge team for their excellent recommendations and assistance throughout my stay. The room was spacious, elegantly decorated, and equipped with all modern amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, appreciated the attention to detail, such as the nightly turndown service and the welcome basket of fruits and snacks. The dining experience was exceptional. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. I also had the opportunity to dine at the hotel’s signature restaurant, where the cuisine was exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. The service in the restaurant was attentive. I will stay there again.

The only thing we liked about this hotel was the staff. They were very nice. However, the facilities and condition of the hotel were subpar at best. The hotel is NOT a five star hotel as advertised. The facilities are veryyyy outdated. Everything felt old. Our AC barely worked. Our bathroom kept leaking water (not sure from where??) and the floor always had a little puddle of water so we kept having to put a bunch of towels to soak it up. Part of the shower head didn’t work. The buffet was very limited and repetitive. Some of the fruits in the buffet had fruit flies and bugs. There were multiple raccoons roaming around the property and hanging out by the dining tables!!! The beach is horrendous and not as pictured. You will not be able to swim in it. Not what we expected at all and definitely not worth the price. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is for the amazing staff.

Overall a C-/D , I kept waiting to be impressed but never happened. Pretty much everything was sub par: Had to pick around at the buffet to find food that was actually edible. Some (not all) of the staff had a snarky, superior attitude. Only 2 bath towels in the room for 3 people,,,,really? They would not serve you an "Imperial" brand beer, that was for VIP only. Gimme a break. Had to bring a "ticket" from your room to get a towel at the pool. Our first room had an AC leaking directly on the floor leaving an actual puddle on the tile, not to mention water leaking from the above room down through the light over the bathroom sink! They moved us to a room right next to the place where they do the shows, very LOUD , would not have been able to sleep but thank goodness I brought ear plugs. And just a warning, There is NO BEACH here, just ROCKS, lots of huge, sharp rocks. Have to walk 1.5 miles to an actual beach. Also, google the Crocodile attacks here. I would not stay here again. Look elsewhere. Just my opinion, YMMV.

To start, this hotel discriminates to a whole other level. We were never offered any drinks or a bottle of wine as they “advertised”. The food was really mediocre and not a lot of options. The buffet is pretty much the only thing “free of cost”, they have specific hours to eat and they usually start closing 35 to 40 minutes before they are supposed to. They want to charge additional money for using their amenities. Staff doesn’t ever check to see if you are doing good. I would rate them a 0 if I could!!! Do not book in here!
