The food is not to be missed when you visit Occidental Tamarindo. The hotel offers two restaurants, a bar and a snack bar to ensure you are never far from a meal or beverage. Langosta Main Restaurant serves a buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner each day while the more exclusive El Oceano Restaurant serves dinner only and requires reservations. You can stop at Las Baulas throughout the day to grab snacks and drinks for the whole family, or if you're in need of an adult beverage, check out Lobby Bar La Tortuga after 5:00 p.m.
Many hotel guests can't wait to jump into the clear blue waters of the outdoor pool, which also provides a children's area. If you're more into relaxing than swimming, you can soak in the hot tub or simply sun yourself in one of the nearby lounge chairs. When it comes to entertainment, you'll find plenty at Occidental Tamarindo. The hotel offers a wide range of theatre programs as well as many child-friendly outdoor activities, including an evening show.

Other sports activities include tennis courts, kayaking, scuba diving, canoeing and snorkeling. Soccer fields, volleyball and even a giant chess set are also available.
Do you need a day of pampering? Spend an afternoon in the hotel's full-service spa. Receive a massage right on the beach, or head into a treatment room for a range of body and facial treatments. A dry sauna and hot tub help rid your body of toxins as you relax, and afterward, you can head to the beauty salon for hairstyling and makeup. An on-site gym is also available.
