Amazing place to stay, enjoy life, eat excellent food, enjoy morning, afternoon and night time events, live music and incredible attention from the staff. The environment is full of natural beauty. From the famous iguanas, to birds, to a beach view and lovely floral designs. They offer a gym to warm up, a sauna, 3 pools, including one for kids and a bar. This is a place I will be visiting again for sure.

It's up to par with other Barcelos we've been to. The beach is very nice, as is the river that flows into the ocean right next to the hotel. Food was fairly good. Room AC was comfortable and cooked well. Ceiling fan did not work. Bar service is limited to main building and has limited hours. Live entertainment just one night during our stay.

This place is incredible. The rooms are nice and super clean, and the beach right behind the resort is gorgeous. You can do a lot of cool excursions, which can be either exciting adventury stuff or more nature-focused things. The one thing that could be improved is the food, which is average buffet food but there is always a grill running as well which has great fresh food so its all peachy.

The hotel is nice and the staff was attentive and solved a few problems we had with our room immediately. The food at the buffet restaurant is pretty decent, the fruit is very good. Same for the snack bar. The reason for only giving it 3 stars is because the staff allows the guests to behave in a most uncivil way: they let people eat and drink around and inside the pool, and food and drink will eventually fall in the water... They also allow guests to leave items to hold the pool chairs overnight, so no matter how early you arrive there are many chairs already taken, with no one there. If these behaviours don’t bother you, you’ll probably enjoy staying here, otherwise look for a more upscale hotel to stay.

I stayed here for 3 nights. Now I have some bad things to say and some good things. First off I loved it here. The staff were super nice and there where no wait times for food, beer, or snacks. There was always available lounge chairs around the pool and on the beach. I would defiantly stay here again! For the bad part, it was just small things like when I checked In I was given a room key and map and that was it. Turns out you need a bracelet well there to tell security you belong there. I had to go back and get one at the front desk. When I got to my room I loved it it was pretty nice. Except the shower and toilet needed cleaned better. There was dirt stains on both that would go away if properly cleaned, along with soap scum all over the shower walls. ( you can see in the pic the top part of the glass is clean but not the lower. The roof in front of my balcony needed repairs, and there where a lot of ants around the bathroom sink. With that said I did not let it bother me and I had a great time and would recommend to friends.

All ages seen here and something for everyone. Clean beach, great food selection, food at any time you want it, all inclusive is worth it. Very very comfortable beds. Tamarindo and this hotel is definitely somewhere I want to return!!!! Do not buy items in the gift shop though as it's very overpriced. Items in town are less expensive. If you are up for a day trip, go to Nicaragua as shopping there is much better! Leather and clothes are their specialty.

All inclusive resort. Nice decor. Nice landscaping. Very nice beach. The pool is nice, but the hot tub section of the pool is not actually heated. It is slightly cooler than the main section of the pool. There is an amphitheater for shows in the evening, but the shows are not very entertaining.
The food service is very good, and the servers speak and understand the Queen's English reasonably well. The food quality is good, but not great. The rooms have air conditioning that works properly. The daytime activities are not particularly interesting. One would normally expect an activity such as snorkeling to be included at a beach all inclusive, but here, it's extra and off site. There is an indoor exercise area, but it's small. The few exercise machines are in working order. They have one beach volleyball court and a volleyball net in the pool. You have to notify the spa fifteen minutes in advance if you want to use the sauna so they can warm it up.

The road to get there in bad shape. Needs lots of work. But the resort occidental was very beautiful. The hosts were very nice and always willing to go out of there way to help you. Very nice experience. I will consider going back.

Great staff. Very friendly. Only has 1 restaurant with a short menu, but the food was very good. Beautiful gardens surround the hotel. Nice beach but too many stray dogs walking around. Large pool area with lots of chairs. Comfortable lounge area to just relax in during the evening. It has all the comforts you will need. Rooms are comfortable however very dated.

The serves at the buffet was no good at all. The rooms were good but no monkeys until the last day. I would come here again had a great time and was to short.
