The staff was pleasant and responsive...when we were able to reach them. The extensions listed for various departments (housekeeping, guest services, etc.) were never answered when called, so it was always necessary to dial 0 to reach the front deck. While the food was good, there was limited variety and I found myself eating the same things daily. The raccoons on the property have apparently been fed by guests because they were fearless and seemed eager to get close to guests/rooms. The main reason I liked the resort is because it was quiet and not overcrowded. Overall, my group enjoyed ourselves.

It was a very nice resort. Everything is easy walking distance. They do have a shuttle if you do not want to walk. Very close to the beach. Not a big beach but it is nice. It you want a massage their are people on the beach to do it plus if you want to do a tour there is someone on the beach who can arrange them. They are much cheaper than the hotel tours. Food was good and specialty restaurants were very good. Two pools and they were very nice. They have activitives arranged throughout the day for things to do. Leaving the resort is a little costly. Uber is the cheapest but can make arrangements through the hotel or on the beach if you want to go somewhere. Cocoa Beach is not too far and is ver nice and tours can be arrange there also. Shop around for tours to get your best deal from the above places. Airport about 1/2 hour away.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. We wanted to go somewhere that was easy to get to and that didn't need any extra planning ahead of time. All inclusive was great, deluxe room with a bay view was worth it, and so was the premier upgrade that got us into the premier bar/lounge. The food at the restaurants was much better than the buffet, but the buffet was still fine. Tours with On the Beach Tours were great, and we liked spending time at the beach every day. Overall, we were happy with this for an affordable and easy-to-plan honeymoon.

We Liked 98% Staffs are Friendly, so nice, always smiling, fast service... Except one guy, his name is "Carl..." who is "Asian Stigma" & not nice in service... My room is always very clean by good cleaners. Landscape is so beautiful & clean. Garden are pretty, multiple colors. Coast is clear. Beach is blue & so calm.... Food in buffet restaurants are so allure, good taste & safe... But Asian Restaurant is salty & staff are not friendly... food not Asian taste. The Team Tour "On The Beach Tour" is Friendly & Nice Service.

It was not very welcoming. We didn’t like the fact that we couldn’t have access to the hotel amenities until 11 am, we landed at 6:30am ,, although we understand that our room wouldn’t be ready until 3 pm, not having access to go inside the hotel was very disappointing., They were charging additional fees to go in early.

We had an amazing stay at Occidental Papagayo! The resort grounds were beautifully maintained, and we really loved how everything was laid out. Although there’s a shuttle available, we only used it for check-in and check-out since everything felt conveniently close. Our premium bay room was perfect—the view was absolutely breathtaking. The entertainment in the evenings was just right for us, and we especially enjoyed the guitar and saxophone player. The premium bar offered incredible views and excellent service; a special thanks to Kattya and Mila for making our visits there extra enjoyable. Dining was a highlight as well. The buffet always had a nice variety—omelets at breakfast were a favorite, and the prime rib at lunch along with Costa Rican night were must-tries. We also dined at all three à la carte restaurants, each offering something unique and delicious. On our last day, we treated ourselves to the spa with a couples massage and facial. It was the perfect way to unwind after all of our excursions and made it a little easier to slide back into reality. We celebrated a birthday trip here and couldn’t have chosen a better place. It was truly memorable, and we’re already looking forward to returning next year!
