This is maybe 2 star ,dirty old bathrooms,not polite and not helpful front desk staff. Always,ask to restoke fridge.No directories how to get from point A to B.Grounds are only nice close to the pool and reception building further no one cares about landscaping.Only servers in buffe were nice although you have to ask them few times to bring a coffe.

Lacks good food - not worth the All Inclusive

Sandra A (San Bruno, California) on May 09, 2025

My friends and I stayed at Occidental Papagayo (Adults Only) from April 28-May 3, 2025 (beginning of the low season - not many people at the hotel). We were excited because we have stayed at Barcelo chain hotels before and our experience has always been good. There are three things we look for, good food, good service, and updated/maintained facilities. The food whether, buffett or a la carte restaurants, lacked flavor and quality. It's one hundred times better to go eat outside of the hotel, otherwise, you will leave Costa Rica with a bad impression when it comes to its food. The service in the hotel was a hit or miss. There are no waiter/waitresses at the main pool area, which means you have to go to the snack bar to get a drink, and getting a drink takes forever plus it feels as if you are begging them for sharity. Getting water or coffee at the buffett was also a struggle, we had to get up most of the time to get our own water even though we had asked for it. The best part of staying at Occidental were three people: Kathia (aka "La China") at the premium bar, Oscar and Don Marcos at the wet bar. They really made us feel welcome and their service was superb. They were friendly, always making sure we were taken cared of, but most importantly, they enjoy their job. I also have to say that the transportation within the hotel, was great, the golf cart/tram drivers were friendly and helpful. If it wasn't for the three people named above, this review would be a one star review. As to the facilities, they need some updating but they were decent.
