Occidental Tamarindo

Occidental Tamarindo, on Playa Langosta

Occidental Tamarindo is an all-inclusive resort on Playa Langosta, just south of Tamarindo, next to Las Baulas National Marine Park, about an hour by car from Liberia airport. It suits families who want a kids' club and a pool for the children, and couples who want the quieter beach with Tamarindo's restaurants close by.

Langosta is calmer than Tamarindo's main beach, and the sunsets over the Pacific are the evening show.

Why we choose it

• Made for families. There is a kids' club for ages 2 to 11 and a separate children's pool, and the Superior Room takes up to 3 children.
• Next to Las Baulas. The resort borders Las Baulas National Marine Park, where giant leatherback turtles nest in season, and some rooms look toward the park.
• The quiet side of Tamarindo. You sleep on Langosta, away from the noise, and Tamarindo's shops, bars and surf are a short ride north.

Rooms and views

The Superior Rooms, at 32 square metres, sleep up to 4 adults or 3 children with their parents, and look toward Las Baulas National Marine Park. Each has a private balcony or terrace, air conditioning, a mini bar and a coffee maker.

For couples, the Duplex Suite, at 66 square metres over two levels, looks onto the garden, and the Master Suite Duplex, at 99 square metres, has partial views of the sea and the mangroves. Accessible rooms are available.

On the property

There are three restaurants, two pools including the children's pool, and a spa for guests aged 16 and over. The gym, the tennis court and the shop round out the resort, and there are meeting spaces for groups.

Off the property, we can arrange surf lessons in Tamarindo, snorkeling, sport fishing, a catamaran sail, or a guided night visit to see the leatherbacks nest.

Location and getting there

The resort is on Playa Langosta, next to Las Baulas National Marine Park, about an hour by car from Liberia airport. Check-in is at 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 noon.

It is an easy beach to pair with Arenal or Rincon de la Vieja, and the drive from Liberia is short enough for the first day.
