The property was beautiful and well kept. The pictures give an appearance that the buildings were spread far apart but they were actually close together. So yes, there were stairs and you had to walk but it wasn’t too bad. The shuttle service was good and a big thank you to William for his kindness and being prompt with the shuttle. The room was clean and spacious and the air conditioning was excellent. The room cleaning service was excellent. Overall the staff were friendly. The pools were well maintained. The beach was amazing. However, the pools as well as everything else shuts down at 7pm. The lighting is scarce at dark and there is nothing to do and no outdoor entertainment after dark. It’s go eat dinner and go to bed. The food was okay however, the selection of food was not. If you want a big buffet, this is not the place. Also, the same foods were served everyday, with basically only one other main meat besides pork. Also, you had to provide your room number each time you entered the restaurant, staff seated you, and got your drink. It was not a place where you could just get up and get your drink on your own. Also, you could only eat the buffet once per meal and could not come and go. Overall, the resort was beautiful and the beach was great. If you are looking for a place very low key, quiet, and are okay with basic meals then this is the place. But, if you like to try a wide variety of foods/deserts then this is not the place.

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!

They decided to do works at the pool with a pneumatic drill at 5.30am in the morning. They thought this was acceptable. The food and drinks were sub par but you get what you pay for - it was about 180 usd a night.

Well our time is over in Costa Rica and at the Occidental Papagayo. Time for my review We actually stayed in 2 rooms when we were there the standard room over looking well basically nothing lol on the 2nd floor. The room is very nice The bed is really comfortable And you gets Iots of pillows LMAO the bathroom is spacious enough. So before we arrived I emailed the resort and told them my wife has issues climbing stairs and its her 60th birthday so if we could get something on main level and our daughter is also coming with her own separate room could we get something close together. I never heard back. When we checked in a was taken our rooms We went to our daughter's 2202 and wow wow wow Then to our room as I said before it was nice but the other

The property was located very near the beach. The plants, trees, and grounds were BEAUTIFUL. The resort needs updating; it is dated. The beds, all couches and cushioned seats, had dips, sunken spots, and the upholstery in several areas, including the premium lounge, was stained or dingy. The air conditioning was not working in the main dining/buffet. There were fans on floor, but the fans did very little to cool the area. The air conditioner in my room worked sporadically; I called multiple times for repair. The water in building one was off for over 5 hours one day. My room smelled like sulfur/sewage and the smell seemed to worsen each day. The food was horrible and lacked variety. There were beans and rice daily. The meats-- pork, chicken, and fish--were extremely poor quality and never looked appetizing or edible. The vegetables--cauliflower, carrots, broccoli-- were served everyday; they were undercooked and never seasoned. The desserts were inedible. Outside of the restaurants, drinks were served in thin paper cups that got flimsy immediately. The music played throughout the resort lacked diversity and variety. They started playing it early in the mornings, loud enough to be heard in the guestrooms. The club/disco was disappointing. There was karaoke every night. Nearly ALL of the selections were salsa. The pool table was in a corner by the entrance, there was too much traffic to play it comfortably. To top it off, staff was not hospitable at all.

This resort only had 3 restaurants and one buffet. The 3 restaurants are first come first serve for signing up. If it’s booked out before you go to reserve, then you only have one buffet to go to. The entire resort uses this one buffet so there is always a line to get in. Breakfast was horrible. They had no variety of choices each day it was the exact same servings for breakfast. If there was things you did not eat then you were going to be hungry. Each morning I hoped for bacon and out of the 6 days I stayed, there were none, just the same lousy choices every morning. There wasn’t much to do on the resort as far as fun. They held the same activities every night and it was never a time where they held anything different. The pools always looked cloudy like there wasn’t bleach used in the pools so we only went in the pool once out of the 6 days we stayed. The beach on the resort was nice until the raccoons came out. Overall if you’re looking for a nice view and nothing to do go there. If you’re looking for fun and good food do not go here.
