The Pacific coast of Costa Rica has an incredibly dry and warm climate, sunny days, tropical forests, protected natural areas and beautiful beaches with great waves, diving and relaxation by the sea. If Guanacaste, in the North, is a tropical area of impressive mountains and volcanoes, the province still has another charm to offer: the Gulf of Papagayo, the jewel of the North Pacific, is a must where you will experience your holiday in a natural paradise waiting to be discovered.

The friendly character of Costa Rica makes it a destination where you feel welcome and in good hands and it also inspires the philosophy of its hotels. At the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in the Gulf of Papagayo, the wide variety of plans and activities make travellers want to come back again and again. From relaxing under the sun with views of green landscapes and sea to walking side by side with exotic animals in their natural habitat. Or perhaps doing some water sports: this is your daily routine in Costa Rica. 

Meanwhile, Guanacaste offers easy access to one of the country’s greatest charms: Santa Rosa National Park, recognised in 1972. There, ten different habitats allow you to visit mangroves, marshes and oak forests watching local mammals, birds and amphibians. Another of the local jewels is the Rincón de la Vieja National Park, which houses two volcanoes: Rincón de la Vieja, an active volcano over a million years old, and Santa María, with six volcanic peaks and 32 rivers and gullies.

From Occidental Hotels & Resorts in the Gulf of Papagayo you can comfortably enjoy the natural attractions of Costa Rica and Guanacaste. In an atmosphere of pure relaxation, the routes through local nature are easily accessible, including Playa Hermosa and Playa Buena, or the entertainment of towns such as Playa del Coco. 

For lovers of pure life, we offer the best hotels in the Gulf of Papagayo.
