Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Good resort. I suggest renting a car for expeditions. The beach is only accessible at low tide and waves are dangerous: not for children. Buffet is okay, probably better in high season. Restaurant is good. Overall nice stay but not a place I would return regularly."
