The province of Guanacaste, probably one of the most attractive corners of Costa Rica, houses what was once a simple fishing village but is now a renowned holiday destination. Its warm and dry climate offers long sunny days and guarantees perfect beach days on its wild coast. Tamarindo is a top destination for surfers and, above all, for anyone looking for exciting experiences that will be forever etched in their memory. 

That's why the Occidental Hotels & Resort in Tamarindo is the star destination on Costa Rica’s pacific coast.

Surfing experts and beginners alike will find their niche in the turquoise water of Tamarindo. Highly recommended spots are Playa Grande with its superb waves, Roca Bruja and Ollie's Point in the north and Playa Langosta, Playa Avellana and Playa Negra in the south. 

Guests at Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Tamarindo not only have opportunities for surfing in Costa Rica at their disposal, but also diving, sailing, kayak trips and recreational fishing, not to mention hiking, horse riding, cycling and golf.

If there is one experience that's worth leaving your board or sun lounger aside for it's Las Baulas National Marine Park, a nature park with more than 150 species of birds, monkeys, raccoons and crocodiles, and a authentic sanctuary for sea turtles. The Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Tamarindo offer you the chance to explore the park during nesting season with a fascinating night-time tour.
