"I definitely enjoyed our time at Occidental, the staff are all super nice (especially someone working in the entertainment of the resort, I forgot his name, who took the time to learn our names and would always say Hello and was overall such an amazing person)and the location of the hotel is in a nice little corner on the beach allowing you to swim in a natural current that is between two beaches. It was our 10 year anniversary and the hotel provided us with a nice bottle of wine when we arrived and a nice surprise in our room with flowers! Thank you!! Some things they should do to improve satisfaction: 1. Shower head in our room was old and was not pouring the water properly. 2. Cleanliness of the pool more often. 3. Consider cooling the pool for super hot days. 4. They had an event during our last day that they only advertised 30 minutes prior to. They should definitely advertise this to the guests more in advance as it was a fun show to watch and I feel like more guests would enjoy it with proper advertising for said events. Thank you for the amazing stay!"

"From Jerry and the Stephanie's, Rosa and all of the staff names that escape me now, sorry. We had a wonderful time and you were all so very helpful with everything we needed or asked for. We thank you so very much! Yes we will be back."

"Amazing location for a tropical resort vacation. Lots of energy and buzzy tourist vibe in only the best way. The hotel offers waterfront rooms, and open air amenities everywhere you turn. It was perfect. Staff, especially at the guided tours counter were exceptional and showed such warm interest in us and our experience. We felt like family! We definitely will return! "

"Everything about my stay was wonderful! From pre-arriving, to helping me book transportation to from the airport, to check-in, this stay really enhanced my trip. The breakfast is incredible! The coffee is amazing. Freddie our breakfast server was delightful. Justin at the front desk is super helpful and his positive energy is continuous. Thanks for the tips on the coffee and attention to detail through every interaction. I wish i was staying here longer but will definitely spread the word. I loved the pool! And rooms are super clean and met all my needs."

"The owners and extremely friendly and can help you with any local tour or dining questions. It is a little bit of an upward climb up the dirt road coming back from downtown but you will get used to it after a day or two. It’s worth it for the location just away from the busy downtown but close enough to wal there and to the beach. "

"We spent a week here in April 2024 and the people, place and food were top tier wonderful. We had an ocean view and the breeze kept us cool in the hottest month when sitting outside. We felt so welcome and cared for. "

"Based right in the heart of Tamarindo. Ten North was the perfect spot to be to hit up all the shops and amazing restaurants. We walked everywhere and when we woke up Saturday morning there was an amazing farmers market right outside the hotel where we grabbed some morning treats and local artwork. Thanks Ten North! We would stay here again in the future, good bang for your buck! Signed a New Yorker. "

"Lagarta Lodge was everything we expected and more. From the stunning views to the amazing service and phenomenal food. The staff was accommodating & Lukas in the front really took good care of us. We appreciate him. The wildlife all over the area so was beautiful and at your fingertips. We enjoyed the swim up bar and the balcony from our room! Thanks for an awesome first experience in Costa Rica! We hope to be back soon! "
