Hotel Occidental Papagayo in Sardinal

Relaxation Destination: Occidental Papagayo

Tucked away on the cliffs of Culebra Bay, the Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only-All Inclusive offers a peculiar kind of comfort. Sure, there's a beach, and yes, two swimming pools. But here, tranquility takes the wheel. I once met a parrot who seemed more zen than any yoga guru. Rooms come with balconies that whisper secrets of the bay. Or maybe it's just the wind.

A hop, skip, and a 35-minute drive from Liberia International Airport lands you in Costa Rica's verdant Pacific Coast. At Occidental Papagayo, the culinary world is your oyster. International dining venues and bars are ready to tickle your taste buds. Daily shenanigans include kayaking, aerobics, or in case you fancy a game, tennis courts await. And if you're feeling adventurous, the rainforest or Palo Verde National Park are just a buggy ride away. The staff might even share a tall tale or two.

Why did the traveler bring a ladder to the beach? They heard the drinks were on the house! Okay, maybe not, but Occidental Papagayo serves up a cocktail of relaxation and adventure. And who knows, you might leave with a new story, or at least a good suntan.
