The place is FUN!

Reviewed By Robert M

First off, not the four seasons. But who cares!!! This is a place for people who want to have a good time. Whether sitting by the pool or beach, walking the trails, or partying it up play the pool bar with Henry. It’s plenty clean and well kept. Loved the hills, served a substitute for working out. The guys at the beach were not that bad at all, you tell them no and they stop asking. Actually Leo was very helpful to us and we went on a great jet ski tour with his company. If you are looking for the four seasons it’s right across the bay. But if your looking for a well kept beautiful property with an A+ staff to take care of anything you need and have a great time meeting other like minded fun loving people, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!

Great Honeymoon

Reviewed By EmanMoss

This resort is amazing all around. The site is beautiful, the food is great and the service is on point. John, our concierge was truly fantastic and so accommodating. Jean Karlo and Juan at Bar Imperial went above & beyond every night. Jeon K even wrote us up a bunch of sites to go see in Costa Rica. I have been to many all inclusive resorts and this one was particularly impressive. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent Hotel

Reviewed By cm19w5

My cousin and I spent 1 week at this hotel and just recently left. We did not upgrade to Star Class and contrary to some other reviews if you do not have Star Class you will not be treated like a step child. We received a lot of attention from staff and any queries or questions we had they were quick to assist. We rented a Cabana for 2 days and had a spa treatment. We received a coupon booklet at check in for booking PH experiences. We got to eat at all restaurants on property. So overall we do not feel as though we missed out or anything at all by not upgrading to Star Class. The rooms were clean and modern. The closet door was broken once reported someone came to fix it with 5 minutes and we never had a problem after. The staff were super friendly and accommodating 24/7. Truly a happy bunch. Shout to to Dillan, from the pool wait team and Negar from the entertainment team. The only con, I would say is that the resort is in a bit more isolated part of Liberia and entertainment and everything else ceases at 11pm. So if you are someone who loves nightlife and partying this is not the resort for you.

Perfect Honeymoon Trip

Reviewed By Reviewing101

Me and my wife traveled everywhere in the world and we decided to return back to Costa Rica for our Honeymoon and it was the best decision ever. The staff is phenomenal, the food is amazing, and the views are breathtaking. I highly recommend this resort, we felt like home throughout our whole stay. I do advise all men to bring some jeans or slacks or else they wont allow you into the italian restaurant. So just take that into consideration, but overall the experience was amazing. Clean pools, great food, and great drinks.

Amazing property and experience

Reviewed By slm60898

We stayed at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin last week and loved it! Our room had a king-size bed, a double bed, and a single bed, which was perfect for my husband and me and our two teenage sons. The landscaping is amazing - beautiful flowers, tons of birds right outside our door and all over the property. Great hiking trails right on the property, and the waterfalls were amazing! We also loved the pool, the restaurants, and the adventures we did through their adventure center. Also, the soap, shampoo, lotion, etc were unique to this property and were my favorites of anywhere we've ever stayed. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Costa Rica!

Very good, would return, but room to improve

Reviewed By Daiverman

In short, I liked my stay and would return. The Riu can be had at a low price and quite frankly I do find the price to quality ratio very good, provided you can find one of these Expedia package bundles. Starting with the good stuff: - Quick and easy check in - Food is decent and on par with the more expensive Dreams Las Mareas (you'll need to leave the hotel to actually do fine dining. Massive shoutout to Randall in the Liberia restaurant for being such an energetic and committed server - Beautiful grounds, well kept - Nice pool with a swim up bar - Beach is decent and usable. - Nightly entertainment (live music, dance, etc.) Oh and there is this Freddy guy who dances in these shows that is unbelievably good. Amazing energy and skill. I got tired just watching him do what he was doing. Freddy was definitely a highlight. - Building, especially the lobby, is majestic. Ceilings as high as the sky with a modern hacienda-like feel. The bad: - Parking: If you are renting a car, prepare to embark in an unbelievable ordeal with parking at the hotel. They have maybe 30-40 parking spots for a hotel that has 700 rooms. People are forced to park on the street (which is private) and pretty much wherever they can. The result looks very messy, with cars parked in different directions all along the narrow road that leads up to the lobby. I ended up having to park in the much farther away Riu Palace lot because no other spaces were available. - Dumb Towel System: Maybe this just bothers me, but at check in you are given a key card and you're expected to take it to the pool to exchange it for a towel then bring back the towel and get a card back. The guys working the towel hut have to look for your room number in a printed out Excel sheet and write down how many towels you're taking, which seems unnecessary since the key card system is already in place. - Restaurants have no reservations. First come, first serve. And these restaurants open for 2 hours only: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Needless to say I don't want to have to run to the restaurants (which are also buffet) to get food. They really need to keep these open longer to get another 1-2 sittings in there if they were actually encouraging you to try them. I was only able to try the Asian restaurant due to this and ended up driving to other beaches to get most of my dinners. - Air Raid Siren: On my last day I woke up just before 5 am to get ready to leave for the airport. Shortly after that what sounded like an air raid or tsunami siren started going and kept going on for a whole 35 minutes without stopping (I wish Trip Advisor would allow video uploads to show you how bad it was). I called the front desk 7 times to ask what was going on; they never picked up. Good thing I was already awake when this happened, because this is something that would have prompted me to have a word with management if I were asleep. Overall, the place is good and I will return. However, this hotel could greatly benefit from visionary management that relentlessly focuses on small details to better serve the guests, starting with parking and the towel system. There are many other, smaller, things that I didn't mention but that I think that addressing them would make a big difference.

I stayed at the Occidental Papagayo with my family , and had a magnificent time. The facilities are beautiful and the view is amazing. The staff was polite and the entertainment crew was super nice , they work as a team to keep you busy and make sure you have nothing but fun . I'm definitely visiting again in the near future . Improvements I'd like to see ... Maybe some sort of app where you can make reservations for the restaurants , see and enroll for the activities .
