Occidental Papagayo Adults Only

The Resort and Its Setting

Occidental Papagayo Adults Only is adults-only throughout, meaning every guest on-site is there for a quiet, mature holiday rather than family activities. It sits within Guanacaste, the Costa Rican province most associated with Pacific coastline, dry tropical forest, and dependable sunshine for much of the year. The resort is an independent property affiliated with RCI, so it welcomes exchange guests alongside owners and direct bookers — a big part of its appeal among RCI members browsing this coast.

Guanacaste: The Area and Things to Do

Guanacaste is Costa Rica's main beach-and-adventure province, and the appeal isn't limited to the resort grounds. Pacific coast beaches in the area are used for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports pretty much year-round, while inland you've got dry tropical forest landscapes that support a genuinely different ecosystem from the cloud forests further south. Guanacaste National Park is the obvious day-trip choice for anyone wanting hiking trails and a real chance of spotting monkeys and tropical birds without travelling far. The region is served by Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, which handles both international and domestic flights, making the area easy to reach.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Occidental Papagayo Adults Only and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your week, and that's it — we don't take a cut of your sale, so there's 0% commission on whatever price you agree with a buyer.

Because Occidental Papagayo Adults Only is an independent resort, resale isn't routed through a big-brand corporate transfer desk. In practice, this means the transfer typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a head-office process. Before you agree a price with a buyer, it's worth both sides confirming two things directly with the resort: the transfer fee that applies to a change of ownership, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and aren't something we can quote on your behalf. A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted usage rights to the week itself; anything tied to a specific RCI membership or accumulated points generally needs to be re-established by the buyer once the transfer is complete, so it's worth clarifying this with the resort before closing.

What Renters and Buyers Typically Ask About

Anyone browsing adults-only weeks in Guanacaste is usually weighing up the same things: whether the resort is confirmed as RCI-affiliated (it is here), what time of year they're buying or renting for, and what the annual fee situation looks like going forward. Being upfront about these points in your listing — along with your week number or season, and whether you're offering it as a one-off rental or an outright resale — makes it easier for a serious buyer to move forward quickly.

Practical Notes

Guanacaste runs a dry season from December to April with the most consistent sunshine, and a green season from May to November that brings fewer crowds and much lusher scenery inland — worth mentioning in a listing if you're flexible on which week you're selling or renting. If you're the one buying or booking an exchange, confirm RCI availability and points values directly with RCI before finalising anything, since exchange inventory changes independently of the resale listing itself.
