We took this trip for our honeymoon. Overall, it was a good experience. The room was kept clean but a bit dated. The property was beautiful. The food was good and the dining areas were clean. Some of the male staff members were not the friendliest but we didn't let it ruin our trip. We are willing to try other Occidental properties but will most likely not return to this one.

The standard of the resort it is maybe exagerate for 5 star resort. Definitely need a little renovation... The services doesn't exceed expectations. We encountered small problem from the check in...The problem was solved,but in a slow motion speed and in not a realy professional way...Only one mention name:Paul for the entertainment team...Very professional guy and very nice talking...He is a big plus for this resort,this man,Paul Congratulations.

Food: Breakfast consistently felt below standard. Nothing extraordinary. Lunch options were okay but not fantastic. We much preferred the snack bar. Supper meals were enjoyable only at the restaurants Orient and Italian. The buffet options were consistently disappointing. The New Years Supper was excellent!!! I did wish there was additional celebration elements like fireworks similar to other resorts we seen. Would have elevated the experience. Beach (2/10) My major complaint is the beach size and atmosphere. The beach itself is extremely small. For an adults only resort the environment on the beach did not reflect that at expectation at all. Included a large amount of local children which made the area extremely loud. We’ve been lucky to visit many resorts and they have designed separate areas for resort guests and public visitors. The beach situation was the primary reason for my low rating. I personally love the beach and I think we were at the beach only twice out of our 7 days because we couldn’t enjoy it. I would not stay at this resort again. Resort: The grounds are well maintained though the property is quite large requiring lots of walking and stairs. Shuttles are available which helps but good to keep that in mind. Activities: Maria, JJ, Larry were amazing for booking excursions. Ricardo was great at taking us to the places we wanted to be!

Room had crabs, spiders, ants daily. Room shower not very clean. I paid for ocean view premium room and asked to pay for a suite upgrade. They don’t even look at system or days your stating and just say no, yet I saw empty ones the entire time we were there. I asked if I could get refunded fur last two days of my stay so we could relocate and I was told to email the manager who never responded with multiple attempts. Getting coffee refills in am was so hard to get. Food was disappointing at best. We ate off property last day because we couldn’t do any more meals there. Even reservation restaurant food was just edible. Fruit was only thing good. No pool side service or water . Swim up bar is dingy. As soon as you step on beach you get asked about paying for messages . Locals can use beach chairs so they fill up fast. Pool needs work was foggy and dirty. No yoga classes at time it says , I showed up at 8 and nothing. No one at beach to help with kayaks. Drinks are not good and barely any alcohol in them no matter what you order you can have multiple drinks without noticing any alcohol. “No liquor before 11am” apparently but this changed depending on who you asked. “No champagne” yet they have mimosas at one location but not the others. It’s Costa Rica and coffee was out of a machine and tasted awful. I would not stay here. American cancelled our flights and we were a day late and hotel could do nothing, they couldn’t refund day we missed, or add day.

Check-in was unorganized. it felt as if nobody really knew what to so. No supervisor or manager assisting or guiding staff. I was advised my room was ready. traveling companions waited another 1 1/2 hours to get their room- 5 doors down. corrective action- clean the rooms that you have customers waiting in the lobby first! Communication was HUGE issue the entire stay. 1 1/2 hour wait to get bathroom towels. TV remote batteries dead. Electronic safe batteries died with safe locked close. Food service in main buffet low quality. NEVER opened on time- watched staff look at watch while sitting around table with other staff at opening time and ALWAYS waited 5 minutes or so before they decided they would get up and walk to unlock the door. EXTREAMLY bad optics. Snack Bar staff- very friendly and helpful- same quality of food but at least much better staff. Upper pool- more attention to keeping the pool clean of debris. Lower Pool bartenders very friendly- very welcoming. Drinks quality changed from bartender to bartender. Most were good- one particular was not at all. Grounds were nice- however after cutting and trimming, the debris would sit on the walkway for a couple of days. Leaf blowers and weedwhackers running at 0700 DONT Come to relax- won't happen. Travel Companions have the same opinion-- WE WONT BE BACK. I am General Manager of VERY high end customer service related business. This was NOT even close
