"The property was very nice, the staff was excellent very nice and friendly. Walks on the beach the locals were very nice as well. The only issue is the keys to my room never worked. I had to visit the front desk every time we left our room which made it very annoying. "

Hotel Ocotal B&B

3.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (5)
"Hotel is well maintained. Rooms are so small that there is no room for your luggage or chair to sit in. They post that the room will sleep four. No way. These are full size beds because two queen size beds would leave even less room. They gave us two rooms overlooking the busy road all the while we were the only guest. The motorcycles without mufflers were the worst. Why they chose to not but us in quieter rooms that were available is reason enough for me to not recommend staying here."

"This apartment exceeded our expectations. The property manager, Jennifer, and her entire team was helpful from the word go. It was easy to reach the apartment. The walk to the beach was easy. The pools in the complex were clean. The apartment was immaculate and very nicely decorated. Everything was perfect and we would certainly recommend it and/or come again! We were there with our three kids- 21, 24 and 25 and they too had a fabulous time and said this was the nicest accommodation we have...

"The place was pretty dirty when we arrived. There were dead bugs all over the bathroom and the bathroom window did not shut, so we had a hard time cooling the place down. We also couldn’t open the sliding glass door which was frustrating. The location is nice. Just off a nice beach with a good restaurant right there!"

"We ended up coming a day early to this location (after some super rainy weather) and we were welcomed by Alex who made our stay incredible! He met with us as we entered town and guided us to the condo to make sure we found it easily. He checked in on us via text and even brought a bounty of local fruit and coffee the next day. We felt very welcomed and pampered and highly recommend this location! It was an easy walk to the beach, the room was stocked with snorkeling gear, toys and games. The...

"Beautiful home a top a large mountain. Incredible views out into the Pacific Ocean. Home is lovely. Very clean. Great appliances, wifi, etc. Property has a beautiful infinity pool 10 steps from the unit. Highly recommend the home for rent. And, the location is perfect in that you can get away up in the mountains into the “quiet”. But, in 10-15 minutes, you can be in the town of Coca or head off to a huge list of beautiful Costa Rica beaches within 30-60 mins. Also, the town of Coca has plenty of...

"Almost everything was perfect - even the initially slightly scary road leading up to the complex became fun after a couple of trips. A couple of suggestions to make it even better: A BBQ on the deck like the other units had would be great; a couple of more chairs for the beach; and maybe a beach umbrella."

"A wonderful property. Excellent location. Vanessa had excellent communication with us the entire time. We had just gone through two previous cancellations by other hosts last minute, and were scrambling to find a place to stay. I can't say enough about Vanessa and her team. We look forward to staying here in the future! The location in Ocotol was great, close to the beach and Father Rooster's which is a fave of ours. Gated property, all the amenities, and the layout was great for us. ...
