1. Transportation inside large property. EVERY vehicle poured out carbon monoxide. The open lobby was choked with it while awaiting vehicles were left running; walkways was choked with it when vehicles passed. 2. Housekeeping was understaffed. Check-in is after 4:00. Arrive early you’re stranded in carbon monoxide. 3. Check in is slow - long lines - as they explain all of the rules and restrictions. Meals all at the buffet, reservations at one of three restraints only once every 3 nights of stay. Included drinks at the bar with cheap liquor. Pay bar for upgrade package people only. 4. Bad buffet. Wait staff is excellent. friendly and efficient. But the selection is small, the food is lukewarm, and the quality, meh. 5. The rooms: The 1st room, nothing worked. Lights didn’t turn on, electric plugs didn’t work, the A/C was a mystery to control. The shower head flopped down and faced the wall, no way to prop it. We requested another room. The new room had no electric outlets for electronics, the television was so old the image was barely visible, some of the lights didn’t work, the coffee maker not only wasn’t plugged in, it could not be plugged in. No outlet. Yet it was still dirty. Sink drain missing cover and tarnished. 6. Calls were always answered “in five minutes” and they rarely came. The “mini bar” is ONLY two bottles of water and two sodas. Nothing else. If they show up. Not recommended. Buildings need maintenance. Everyone complained about the rooms.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Occidental Papagayo, an all-inclusive, adult-only resort, and I must say it was a truly beautiful experience. From the moment we arrived, the hotel's stunning architecture and lush surroundings took my breath away. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting a positive tone for our stay. One thing to note is that while the hospitality was excellent, the English proficiency among the staff was somewhat limited. I recommend bringing a translator app to facilitate communication, especially for those who may not speak Spanish. Our room was clean and comfortable, though we encountered an issue with the safe which wasn't functioning properly. It’s good to remember that the hotel is only responsible for items secured inside the safe, so be mindful of that. Regarding entertainment, the television stations were primarily in Spanish, which was not a major issue for us, but something to consider if you enjoy watching TV during your downtime. Dining was a highlight of the trip! The buffet restaurant was impressive, with a daily changing menu that kept our meals interesting and delicious. Just a heads up: there are two specialty restaurants that require reservations, and they tend to fill up quickly, so it’s best to plan ahead if you want to dine there. For activities, we enjoyed kayaking; however, it’s essential to have one experienced and one inexperienced person in each kayak for safety. The massage with Dana was exceptional.

Property was a 9/10 landscaping was beautiful. Our room was ok. Buffet did not have that many options we ate the same breakfast same lunch everyday for 7 days. The snacks bar same thing nothing new. There’s 3 different restaurants but you need to reserve food wasn’t that great either. Another disappointing thing was the raccoons they are everywhere especially at night. Not to many activities during the day either and at night not much is being done to entertain the guests. That little gift shop is way too expensive they need to bring the prices of this items down a bit. And I was so disappointed when I see the beach look so different compared of what was advertised on their website I give it -1 yes seriously. Overall if you want peaceful vacation and don’t like to to much this place is for you. I made the best of it with my family. If you want to book cheaper tour and massages go downtown to the beach this people are more reasonable with their prices and go see Rosa for a nice 1 hour massage her price is very low.

My husband and I stayed here during the week of July 14th to 21st to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Overall, we thought the property was beautiful and the staff was very accommodating. The food and drinks were very good, but we especially liked our dinner at the Italian restaurant. Our server Castillo was very kind and warm hearted. I would highly recommend the Occidental Papagayo!

This was by far our best experience with an all-inclusive. The grounds were well kept; the room was great; and the staff was amazing - always smiling and ready to help in any way they could. Almost all of them spoke english and tolerated our attempts at spanish! We can't say enough about Enrique. He made this the most memorable stay and went far beyond any expectations we had. His entire staff, but particularly Liseth, were hard working and always busy, and always happy (even while she was pregnant!). It was evident he was also a great person to work for. We will definately be returning. In fact we weren't home a week and started looking into when we could return! It was amazing - and we've traveled a bunch. Pura Vida!

Really enjoy the Occidental Papagayo resort! The majority of the staff is great, especially manager Enrique he helps me make my wife's birthday special, both times here! Other staff were so friendly and help when we need something ( Roy, and Carlos) thanks. Only wishes that next we stay here they provide local entertainment atleast once in weeks stay. And that we could have had restaurant dining 3 nights option instead of just 2 for week stay. We will be back!

I arrived at 12:30ish. Called ahead of time to ask for possible early check-in. "Yes, of-course." When I arrived, "We're sorry, check-in is at 3:00." At 2:00 I asked again if the room was ready. "Sorry, it's not ready yet." Then, conveniently at 3:00, "Sir, your room is ready!" They then take you via golf cart to your room, which is so far away from every amenity on the property. As I'm there, the cleaning staff was at the same building. I asked them if they had just finished... she replied that she cleaned it herself about 2 hours ago. I booked a "Bay view room", and the view is the top of a bunch of trees and a touch of water. Comical to say the least. SO, I would recommend booking a room that is close to the office because that is where everything is. The bay view is NOT worth the 10 minute walk in the heat and humidity to go eat or go to the pool. Also, you have the odor of B.O. around the restaurant because everyone broke a sweat walking to get there. The second day, nobody went to my room to refill the drinks in the room fridge. When I called and asked, "Someone is on their way." Nobody ever showed up. So I walked to the front desk and asked if I could get a few drinks from the market since nobody came to refill my drinks. "You have to pay for the drinks from the market." When asked if I could get the drinks from them while I was standing there, "No, we cannot." When leaving, be sure to call for the golf cart well in advance because it took him about 40 minutes.

Terrible Experience
It was a terrible experience and I would recommend this resort to anyone. The staff was rude and had an attitude. The front desk would take a long time to answer the phone. The rooms didn’t have any towels. It was hard to make reservations for dinner at two of the three onsite places to eat dinner. The resort needed more lighting outside as you are walking at night on the walking path, it was extremely dark. The resort wasn’t accommodating when wanted to cancel the last day of our hotel stay so that we could leave one day early. We enjoyed the offsite excursions and Costa Rica was beautiful.
