Recent Playa Ocotal guest reviews

When we first arrived to the villa, we were greeted by the security guard with a great sense of humor “Kevin”. We asked him what are the views for 8B like- he replied “The best”. He was not lying!!! My kids screamed while we were unpacking the car. They ran to check out the views before even entering the unit. It’s magical! Waking up to these views everyday was pure bliss!! My Mom literally stayed on the extended balcony the entire time. The unit space is perfect for a family of five. The birds visited us daily on the balcony. The infinity pool is amazing! We loved this unit so much so, that when it was time to depart we wanted to extend our stay. It’s a secluded retreat with a heliport. It is on the top of a mountain, so it’s advisable to rent a crossover or SUV. It’s less than 10 min away from the town with lots of restaurants, supermarkets and Playa Ocotal and Playa de Coco (Beaches). I highly recommend this unit!
