Recent Playa Ocotal guest reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Playa Ocotal. Cute unit, loved having a pool steps away from the unit to cool off on all the hot days, beds were comfortable with lots of extra pillows and bedding available. Could have used a few extra things in the kitchen however most of anything we needed and couldn’t do without, the local support team was able to assist with right away.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at this spacious villa. The proximity to the beach was great, though the walk involved a fairly large hill, which might be challenging for elderly guests. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and functional, albeit slightly dated, appliances. We appreciated the provided beach towels and resort-provided beach chairs. The beach and pool were the highlights. The private black sand beach was gorgeous, perfect for tide pooling, walking to Playa Ocotal, and boogy boarding. The master bedroom's firm mattress ensured a comfortable sleep. Overall, we highly recommend this villa for families seeking a spacious and well-equipped stay in Costa Rica.
