May 27, 2023Beautiful resort but needs improvement
Well, you get what you pay for. The rate is enticing considering that it is all-inclusive but the resort is clearly in need of a lot of improvements. The staff do not seem to excited to be there and the ones that do show emotion seem to be faking it. The food is very sub par. For example the powdered scrambled eggs which were just awful. Plus the flies in the dining room. While they have shuttles to get you around there only seems to be one so you will wait...and wait. If your room is in a farther out building do NOT try to walk there at night.You WILL get lost and there are no signs explaining where you are or how to get to your building. Plus the map that you can get on your phone is useless. It just makes no sense. The linens and curtains need replacing but the bed mattress was awesome. The grass areas were brown and dying. You might not think that the grass is a big deal but when you go to a country for its natural beauty, it kinda is. It's sad because the place is beautiful but it just seems to be falling apart. You can tell that at one time it was amazing.

May 26, 2023Overcharged
We were charged a cancellation fee on a reservation we didn’t make and didn’t know we had until we checked in. We told them that was not ours but three days into the trip they charged us a no show cancellation on that reservation. We were unable to get anyone to explain to us how we could cancel a reservation 7 days before arrival we didn’t know we had until arrival. No confirmation number. No deposit on that room. We still haven’t heard back. They keep putting us off. Horrible customer service.

May 25, 2023A trip without kids!
This was an anniversary trip and it was the best so far. When we open the door to our room we had chocolate cover strawberries and chocolates. From there, the service was great, staff was very attentive, friendly, nice, and kind. My husband and I enjoyed the food, drinks, surrounding, and activities. Shoot out to Juan, Diana, Maria Jose, Flora, and all the other wait staff, bartenders, and even the people at the beach selling items were super friendly and nice. Overall, this was a great trip, had a lot fun, and the views were breathtaking. We are from texas so the beach was a different kind of experience. Yes! To the blue water lol. Thank you, Occidental Papagayo for a great experience!

You will not be disappointed if you stay a week or more at Occidental Papagayo's. The food is delicious. A lot of variety. The staff try their best to make sure you are having a lovely time. You can arrange excursions once you get to Occidental Papagayos right with their tour company on the front desk. The resort is clean and a wonderful place for couples or singles.
