Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The resort was very clean and organized. The front desk was very helpful. The bartenders were nice but the drinks were very weak definitely ask for double shots in your drinks. The buffet had plenty of options but best to get there early. The pool and beach areas were great but the beach isn't really for swimming. I recommend bringing sunscreen and bug repellent with you the prices were $40. Bring plenty of small bills for tipping and purchases outside the resort. Noone takes torn bills. The resort is is about a mile from town so not a bad walk. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend it."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fabulous time staying at Ten North in Tamarindo! It was our first time staying in Costa Rica and we so enjoyed how friendly and helpful the staff were. They gave us suggestions for places to eat and tours to go on. Our room was spacious, clean and air conditioned which was a bonus since it was hot and humid! The lovely pool was well maintained and provided an oasis away from activity of the beach. The location was just perfect! We were only minutes from the beach and all of the restaurants and activities yet we were tucked away on a side street, which was generally pretty quiet. We can’t say enough about how special this place is, and I would go back again in a heartbeat!"
