  • Enjoy spa treatments during the day, including full-body and beauty salon treatments.
  • Try your hand, or your foot, at one of the beach soccer fields; grab a bow for a little friendly archery action or test your flexibility with the gymnastics and aerobics activities.

Things to Know

  • This area is well-known for its excellent scuba and snorkeling spots.
  • The resort is only 15 minutes away from Tamarindo Airport 
  • If you're visiting between October and February, you might witness the nesting of the leatherback turtles at the nearby national park.

    Great friendly service, beach access, lots of wild life and great entertainment!

    My boyfriend, parents and I just got back from this resort. The pool, rooms and resort are beautiful and have everything you need. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond especially during this troubling time of covid19. The entertainment was amazing they still put on a great show for even a small crowd of guests still remaining. The food was great and you could tell the chefs really tried to please all the guests. Amazing wildlife and beautiful sunsets on the beach made this a special place to stay. I recommend this resort to anyone!!! Hoping when things settle down everyone gets a chance to check out this great resort !!

    Amazing Costa Rica trip

    I went down to Costa Rica for a few weeks this past year and found myself infringe of one of the most astonishing beaches I’ve ever seen. The hotel is right on the beach, has a huge pool, and gives you the chance to experience the natural beauties of the estuary and ocean. The hotel serves amazing breakfasts and great full course meals. If you’re traveling with a family of friends Occidental can adapt to your particular needs and wants of your experience. Everyday they offer dancing clases to learn about the culture, as well and pool entertainment and many different activities to do. The hotel is very close to tamarindo yet the sound of the clubs and “city” life doesn’t disturb. The staff was very nice and helpful, got to make new friends from all over the world. I recommend Occidental to anyone traveling through Costa Rica, since it’s an enriching experience along very welcoming hosts. Hope to come back soon! Sincerely, Emily.

    Great place!

    My boyfriend and I stayed for 7 days. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! Food was good, rooms were nice. Hotel super close to everything in town. We had trouble getting lunches for the days we had trips planned but it worked itself out. Nightly entertainment at the bar and the shows in the theater were great. Would definitely revisit.
