Differentiate Occidental brands
On November 1st 2013, the Occidental Grand Papagayo in Guanacaste,
Costa Rica will convert to an ‘Adults Only’ resort. As the second
Occidental property to adopt this concept, the Occidental Grand Papagayo
will be the first ‘Adults Only’ hotel in Costa Rica to offer couples
and adults over 18 an ideal place to relax and enjoy a romantic
vacation.

The
decision to convert to an ‘Adults Only’ resort grew from a number of
significant factors, including past guest metrics that showed a growing
trend in the number of adult visitors requesting an ‘Adults Only’
experience.

Occidental
Hotels and Resorts saw this shift in clientele as a way to meet the
needs of its loyal; often repeat customers and build upon the proven
success of the award-winning ‘Adults Only’ Royal Hideaway Playacar, by
applying best practices across the brand’s expansive portfolio.
