Scuba Diving in Guanacaste from SAR 818

"this was super convenient for catching a very early flight out the next day! Hotel restaurant was good and very convenient but pricey and the pool was amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and there was a shuttle that took only four minutes to get us to the airport bright and early the next morning. Rooms were really nice too."

"Top notch staff! So nice, friendly and welcoming! Really a great experience- I would love to go back!"

"Right by the airport and food was actually very good. They had a really nice pool and restaurant area. They had a little store right inside for snacks, drinks and souveniers. "

"The Occidental Tamarindo is one of a handful of All Inclusives in Costa Rica. Keep in mind if you’re looking for a Mexican Style “let’s get wasted resort” this is not what you’re looking for. The pace is relaxed and the food at the buffets is local style. If you want steak It’s good but it’s also Not tender like American/Canadian beef. They rate the resort 4/5 stars, really what you have are rooms that would be 3’s, they are ample size comfortable and clean but they were never finished with that 5star building quality to warrant 5 stars. The service is friendly and upbeat, but also laid back. The pool is excellent as is the beach area. Great tours depart from the area and it’s a wonderful place for a great family vacation or couples trip "

"Beautiful ocean views from the room with private patio. Loved cooling off in the infinity pool with the swim up bar while enjoying incredible views. We arrived very early so had breakfast at the restaurant while the hotel put a rush on our rooms. We very much appreciated the early check in plus the bottle of wine left in the room for us. This hotel is perched up on the hill away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tamarindo but an easy shuttle ride from the hotel to all of the restaurants, shopping and beach. We will be back. Thank you for going out of your way to accommodate us and for making our stay a memorable one!"

"Great location. Beach is amazing "

"Friendly staff, spacious bathroom "

"Liked the balance of play and relaxation around the property. The staff was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend it to others. The only thing I would share to others is that the sidewalks and steps can be dangerous, since it is built into a side of a hill. I like the exercise, but other might not. Always wear shoes into the ocean, due to sea urchins, they ruined some people vaca."
