Read before booking!!! This property is very dated and dirty. The rooms are from the 60’s. I had lots of bugs and fiddler crabs in my room. The bed sheets were dirty, the curtains, furniture and bathroom all dirty. The cups provided for coffee were dirty. The pool and beach furniture is very old and filthy. The food is lacking and only buffet. The bar in the lobby that is open at 6 is the best. The beach area is not good for swimming lots of rocks. My room smelled like sewage.There are much nicer beaches and hotels. Do more research.

Overall great experience, the main buffet was fantastic. The rooms were kept tidy by their staff, the activites on the resort were fun and engaging. The beach was awesome because it was tucked away from the hustle of the Tamarindo beach. Location was great because youre only a 15min walk from town.

The hotel is located on a beautiful beach. The grounds are also very nice. The staff was very friendly. But the drinks and food were subpar. Not worth the price of an all inclusive.

Property was clean and well maintained. The location and beach were wonderful. Everything is there for this to be a great resort but management needs to take steps to get it there. 1. Food-often overcooked with all of the meat being pressed so the juices all escaping during cooking making it very dry. The options at the a la carte Italian were blah and the Tepanyaki was ok but not enough spices used and no show. 2. Drinks-I am convinced after a week that there was no alcohol in the adult drinks. 3 adults of varying size having drinks during the day and none of us ever actually felt any type of buzz. Many times they ran out of basic ingredients and they never had more than one bar open at any time. How does a bar at a tropical resort continually run out of Pina colada and strawberry daiquiri mix. The rums and tequilas while packing no punch whatsoever tasted terrible. 3. Facilities-The resort green area is beautiful. The rooms need finishing touches. The bed lights lacked shades so basic LED bulbs were visible. The sliding door could not be closed completely while locked because of the make shift locking system that was installed. And the bathroom sliding doors had no lock for privacy and the boards making up the door were warped and see through which can make it uncomfortable when sharing a room with teenage kids. Also no drain plug in the sink so several items fell into the drain during the week.

Staff at this hotel were lovely. The property is nice. It wasn't the all-inclusive you'd find in Mexico though if that's what you're expecting - they regularly ran out of different types of drinks (not that that really mattered to us), and the snack bar available all day did not have good food. We didn't really enjoy the Italian restaurant food either. The pool was good, and the beach is beautiful, but it's not a swimming beach as there are rip currents. Otherwise, the food was fine. Overall, this hotel was alright and worked for us for the 4 nights we were there. If you're looking to visit Tamarindo but want a quieter spot and don't want to worry about meals, then it's a good choice.

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.
