The Occidental Grand Papagayo was the destination for our first visit/vacation to Costa Rica. This was n excellent choice for us. I have read a lot about the Occidental Grand Papagayo on Trip Advisor and was a little uneasy about the resort until after our first day at the all inclusive. The resort is as good as it gets without... More

a bit of a problem with towels, but mostly a very nice hotel. Excellent food, good excursions, beautiful scenery. Nice beach. Good exercise with all the stairs and slopes but you need it with the good food. Lots of nice pics with the critters. I recommends it to anyone who wants to visits a lovely country. More

This resort is beautiful and could be one heck of a resort. First of all you would think they were on a water shortage, you had to ask multiple times to get some water at any of the restaurants. They send there laundry offsite so getting towels to shower with is also next to impossible. We would give them dirty... More

Just got back from this resort a week ago, I chose it because it was cheaper so I got what I paid for and spent a few days off the resort anyways. The biggest issue was our hotel room, the first day i had to complain about my room because it was not cleaned from the previous guests, the sink... More
