Costa Rica - Occidental Papagayo

-The staff are friendly at this resort.  

-The food was fair to good, they had a good selection of foods. 

-This is not a resort for anyone with any type of mobility issues. 

-Even if they were to get a ride via the carts, there are many steps to the beach 

-There is no food, washrooms or drinks, or umbrellas on the beach.  

-The resort is quite far from anything so the excursions are very expensive and they don’t run them unless they get a group of people to make it cost effective.

-The resort was nice and I had a good time.  

-The food and staff were awesome!

-I had a room that was good for walking distance to everything, as I don't like having to depend on transportation within a resort.  

-They need more umbrellas around the pool areas, and other than a few trees there was no coverage at the beach.

-I loved Costa Rica and will go back when I'm retired for a longer period but not at a resort

-Out of all of my adults only all inclusives so far, I will say that Costa Rica was alright

-The resort was totally fine but not the best quality overall (no beach service or drink service to one of the pools) 

-The rooms were nice and people were friendly. 

-Resort was very spread out so good to note for travellers with mobility issues going forward.
