The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The grounds were well maintained and I felt safe walking the property at all hours. Occidental is a smaller more intimate resort for adults only and I enjoyed my stay here very much. I will say that this is the first time I have stayed somewhere that did not have at least one snack or food option 24 hr. This did become an issue when we participated in the all day tours and came back after 930 PM and we missed dinner. ##### Barbara Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Aaron Boyd 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was the resort equivalent of a cruise ship; that is, you have ala cart restaurants, as well as a buffet, you have swimming pools, and lounge chairs, and of course, you have the option for excursions! Do as little, or as much as your calendar and pocketbook allows! A great experience overall! ![Pool view at night](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93cebe0e-3b6c-4bd6-82c3-383072c36a88-1759355837251.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Footsies on the beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c0a3ee10-152b-4cce-9f99-c4d5752a2194-1759355947317.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Swimming Spouse](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/356c6404-00e8-4e31-a748-2c063ac262b8-1759355948258.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Palm Shadows - beautiful!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c30d3312-f1f8-4405-a47e-3f0ed8194712-1759355948883.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Aaron Boyd Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James 5 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fun place, tucked away from areas to explore but a short drive away.

Shuttle was lousy, slow, never came at times had to call again. Dinners in the buffet area, worst food at a resort in my life, and I am well traveled. Breakfast at the buffet, was good. The Itailian restaurant and the Oriental restaurant were good. Resort was ok for the price, spa service was over charged for what you received. We went to the beach for spa for $40 and tip, and it was much better than the resort spa. ##### Joshua Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Anibal Velasquez 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The food options in the restaurants were all excellent, as were the drinks.

Show you where the other pool is, explain times for bars and food. Tell the guest about the transportation to and from their room. They just checked us in and cut us loose. We knew nothing. I had to ask “how do I get myself and my luggage to our room”. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c9aba19-ba04-47e2-a582-37e633954a70-1760288828216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Teresa Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa With Private Pool in Front of the Sea - 20 meters from the sea.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Pool-In-Front-Of-The-Sea-20-Meters-From-The-Sea.h32817996.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Farsley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Farsley-Hotels.s40-0-d3000691508.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Costa Teguise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Teguise-Villas.d6024126-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Mana Pools Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurungwe-Hotels-Mana-Pools-Safari-Lodge.h32693867.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron Court B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridlington-Hotels-Cameron-Court-BB.h38983467.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hammersmith and Fulham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammersmith-And-Fulham-London-Hotels.0-n6054500-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Cook's Club Kolymbia - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Kolymbia-Star.h11849074.Hotel-Information) > > [Tuntas Beach Hotel Altinkum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Didim-Hotels-Tuntas-Beach-Hotel-Altinkum.h2860922.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scarborough-Hotels-Crown-Spa-Hotel-Scarborough-By-Compass-Hospitality.h1636480.Hotel-Information) > > [The Berry Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Field-House-Guest-House.h22800311.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Virgin Gorda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Virgin-Gorda-Hotels.d11732.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Belfast (BHD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/bhd/newcastle-to-belfast) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Zürich (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/zrh/london-to-zurich) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/pmi/newcastle-to-palma-de-mallorca) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bne/dublin-to-brisbane) ### Cars > [Car hire in Nuneaton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Nuneaton.d602150.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Van Car Hire in Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Exeter.d1185-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Van Car Hire in Derby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Derby.d7573-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Ayr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Ayr.d5583-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Montreal Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montreal.d178288.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Barcelona Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Holiday-Rentals.d179992.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
