Costa Rica's natural beauty surrounding the Occidental Grand Papagayo inspires guests to both extremes of the activities spectrum: Some simply crave down time in a poolside chaise lounge where the lush surroundings enhance total relaxation. Adventuresome guests embrace the all-inclusive features this resort offers - many choices around two free-form pools, Fun Club and Fitness Center:

• Aerobics
• Bird watching
• Daily recreational activities schedule
• SCUBA clinic in the activities pool
• Swimming
• Tennis on an illuminated court
• Volleyball

Once beachside, guests discover the calm, warm bay waters are perfect for non-motorized water sports covered in the all-inclusive plan. The water sports office provides equipment to kayak and snorkel. And tall canopy trees along the base of the bluff mean ample natural shade for lounging and monkey and exotic bird watching.

The Occidental Grand Papagayo spa receives guests by appointment for an additional fee for massage in a private hut under the canopy trees, sauna room, steam room, manicures, pedicures, relaxing facials and salon services.

Resort staff strives to make every convenient service available to all guests. Please inquire as needed 24-hour in advance for babysitting services, laundry facilities, on-call medical attention, fax service, meeting facilities, organized tours from the hotel, car rental and currency exchange.
