Accommodation & Premium Level

Occidental Tamarindo has 198 rooms across 14 buildings spread over well-kept tropical grounds. Guests staying at Occidental Tamarindo can upgrade to the Premium Level for enhanced services including access to premium liquors and priority dinner reservations at a la carte restaurants. Room access uses a waterproof RFID wristband that doubles as a key, replacing standard key cards.

Dining Options

The buffet in the main building serves international cuisine with themed nights like Mexican and Asian, plus a made-to-order omelet station at breakfast. Two a la carte restaurants, La Fontana (Italian) and Kyoto (Japanese), serve dinner; guests receive one complimentary dinner per every three nights of lodging. The poolside snack bar offers pizza, cheeseburgers, fresh fruit, and popcorn from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Activities & Entertainment

The hotel provides a tennis court, volleyball pitches, and water sports including kayaking, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing. Daytime activities around the pool include aerobics, dance lessons, and games led by the animation staff. Evening entertainment features live music, themed dinner shows in the theater, and a disco with a bar.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site spa offers a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and a range of treatments including massage, manicure, and pedicure. Beauty services such as hair cutting and styling are available in the salon. The fitness center has cardio and strength equipment, and guests can use the sauna and steam room after workouts.
