Occidental in Nicoya Peninsula from AU$324

"We loved our stay at Jardin del Eden! The staff was so nice and the property was beautiful and safe. We loved being able to walk to the beach and have drinks made by the wonderful bartenders and also walk to some nearby places. Everything was so close which was nice. This felt like a jungle getaway, even saw some Monkeys in the trees! We would def recommend this to others and would come again. "

"The Occidental always has a variety of activities scheduled and playing beach volleyball in the sunset with the surf in the background everynight was the highlight of our day. A great place to relax and be athletic!"

"Great stay. Staff very friendly. Pool bar was awesome. "

"Nice clean quit "

"The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The food at the buffet was good and had a decent variety each day. The biggest downside is that they did not replenish the buffet as much as needed. At dinner, the main protein was out and my husband asked how long it would be to bring more. The woman behind the counter seemed agitated and told him 5 minutes. He decided to wait and a few minutes later another person asked how long and the woman told them 10 minutes. My husband ended up getting something else, but it just seems the buffet was not being managed well that night. The rest of our trip it was fine and the specialty restaurants are even better! The beach is tranquil with soft sand and gentle waves. The spa was incredibly relaxing and I had a fantastic massage followed by the dry and wet saunas. We took a taxi to Tamarindo (30 minutes) so my husband could surf. It is a cute town and very safe. Definitely recommend checking it out. Overall we were very impressed with the resort and would definitely return. "

"The swim up room was great and the pool and pool bar was wonderful. Johnathon, Rolo and the other staff did a great job. This is a very relaxing slow-paced vibe which is exactly what we needed."

"The A/C did not work the whole stay. Aside from that, no complaints."

"Great. "

"Loved the staff. The room was comfortable. The views from the resort are some of the most beautiful views we’ve seen in our lives. We loved enjoying the awesome and friendly wildlife. The attention to detail was another level. To finish off our trip we enjoyed a super relaxing spa day. Will definitely come back again. Costa Rica is truly PURA VIDA!!!"
