The Occidental Papagaya was a great all-inclusive hotel... I really had a great stay. However, if you want to go to various places on the resort it requires that you are somewhat physically fit... It's very hilly and the rooms aren't close to the ...Read more

As a Costa Rica visitor I feel ashamed for all the complaints from "fellow tourists". My wife and I are really happy that we did not pay attention to the "bad" reviews of the Hotel Occidental Grand Papagayo. All the staff were very polite and ...Read more

The first day the air conditioner did not work, the refrigerator did not work and the phone did not work. It took a day to fix the air conditioner and the phone did not work the whole time. We had 17 guests. The list of complaints was quite long. ...Read more

I would read the reviews about this hotel very carefully. The room was very nice. The food was very basic and lunch was extremely disappointing. Lunch was served outside and the food was constantly being dive-bombed by birds and the staff did not do ...Read more

We go on trips every summer. at first, I read the reviews for this resort and was a little concerned with the bad reviews that were on here for this resort. Since I do the all inclusive every year, I know from experience that not everyone is going to be happy at the resorts. With that in mind, we decided to give this resort a chance. I am going to say that this was our BEST trip yet and the best resort yet. The staff was very friendly and helpfull throughout our entire stay. If we asked them for something that immediately responded. The bar staff was great and entertaining. the buffet was small compared to large resorts we have been to, but there was a different theme for dinner every night we were there. A waiter walked around the pool area delivering drinks. There were PLENTY of chairs and towels, but I could see them possibly being scarce during a peak season, but we did not have that problem. It is beautiful scenery where ever you go. We did the ATV excersion that you can buy at the resort over by the snack bar. It was agreat excursion where you ride through the jungal areas and into a couple of small towns. The scenery was great and the guide stops you to view the monkeys and wild life. I would suggest this 2 1/2 hour tour. The other excersion we did was the Arenal Volcano...It was well worth the money but you are gone from the resort for about 12 hours..It is beautiful to see the volcano, hot springs, arenal lake and the rain forrest. They also provide lunch and dinner and it was GREAT....I could go on with how great this resort was. The only thing I could complain about was that they do not keep your room refrigerator stocked very well with drinks. I would suggest this resort and trip to anyone and we are already making plans to go back in the next 9-12 months...Something that I have learned from experience is that TIPS go a long way...The employees make about two dollars an hour..We took 100 bucks worth of ones and pretty much tipped a buck for anything and everything.When you do that, they remember your face and keep coming back to you..Thats something to keep in mind.

We were put in a building with scaffolding and the "ocean view" was dismal at best. We expected rustic...but honestly expectations for the romantic setting were not met. We upgraded our package to include massages, champagne & chocolate strawberries ...Read more

Have stayed at a 4 Star resort and this is not one. More self service than all inclusive. Bring towels and wash cloths. Not enough chairs at pool or beach. No room service - could go on.....Would not stay again.

Great All-Inclusive

This all-inclusive was a great value for your money. I had read a lot of mixed reviews about this resort before we went but had friends who stayed at the sister resort across the bay and loved it. The room was average- clean- there were some bugs ...Read more
