Hotel Ocotal Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Ocotal

Situated in Ocotal, 700 metres from Ocotal Beach, Hotel Ocotal Bed & Breakfast features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking and a shared lounge.

This is a hidden gem of a place and the pictures/online presence do not do it justice. Very friendly staff, robust breakfast, quiet and interesting space once you're inside/on property...a little mini-oasis, and just a quick drive or walk down to the beach. I would stay here again coming or going from the Liberia airport in a heartbeat.

Villa del Sueño, hotel in Ocotal

Set amidst a tropical garden and offering an outdoor pool and an à la carte restaurant, Villa del Sueño is located in quiet Playa Hermosa beach in Papagayo Gulf. Free WiFi access is available.

A fabulous ensemble of musicians with a female vocalist were playing Santana on stage in the outdoor dining area our first night there and it was FANTASTIC. The breakfast is complimentary and has a range of items to order from bagels to crepes to Tico, always with fresh fruit. The dining staff is wonderful. The swimming pools are deluxe. We had a little balcony where we could observe and listen to birds and occasionally the howler monkeys. We walked to the beach every morning and evening (about 5 minutes) for sunrise and sunset. It is a long stretch of beach used by local families and you can always find shade in the early morning. Our room was so spacious, a firm yet comfortable mattress, air conditioned, small kitchen area, clothes closet with hangers, and a large bathroom area. Towels and linens were very nice. There is a safe in the room.

The location was amazing, room were basic but they had private washrooms and air conditioners to keep cool.

Hotel & Villas Huetares, hotel in Ocotal

Featuring a hot tub, swimming pool, garden and free Wi-Fi in all areas, Hotel & Villas Huetares is located 200 metres from Playa Hermosa Beach and 15 minutes’ drive from Cocos Beach.

Great location to start your trip to Costa Rica, it's 30min away from Liberia. The hotel has a good restaurant right next door and a small store right after. Less than 10 minutes away from the beach. The room wasn't anything special, but as shown. Nice pool area though.

Hotel Villa Del Sol, hotel in Ocotal

Situated in Coco, 200 metres from Coco Beach, Hotel Villa Del Sol features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Excellent location with a short walk to a quiet corner of Coco beach and some delightful restaurants. The mature gardens and pool area were well kept and never crowded. Our room was spacious and comfortable Breakfast each morning was unfussy and enjoyable. We liked the nice touch of the provision of two camp chairs for use on the beach. Sitting under a tree by the beach in the morning before the heat of the day was a real joy. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel, hotel in Ocotal

Set in Playa Hermosa, 37 km from Tamarindo, Golden Palms Papagayo features free WiFi access and free private parking. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

This property was better than expected. We thought it was more of a bungalow vibe but it was much more upscale. The staff, restaurant, accessibility to the calm beach, the lovely pool all added to a delightful beginning to our Costa Rican adventure.

    Ocotal beach and the surrounding beaches are mostly for sun-bathing and wading. There are warnings for undertow. The sand is sharp volcanic cinder sand, thus a mix from dust to small stones. I can be uncomfortable to walk on some portions of the beach with bare feet. The beaches are very clean, uncrowded and very scenic. It is easily accessed.

    Lovely beach, nice kids playground, some shade on the beach from overhanging trees. Very few activities nearby unless you want to fish or go out on a yacht. Father Roosters hours 11-9 serves good drinks and meals at American prices.

    Having a car made it possible to visit several beaches in the area-Ocotal , Coco, Hermosa, Potrero, Brasilito and Conchal ( the shell beach!) We loved the bird sounds and feeling of seclusion. Soda Teresita at the Coco Beachfront was good for cheap Costa Rican food. Watch out for the sand fleas at sunset!

    We loved this beach much more than the neighbouring Coco Beach. It was quiet, clean and perfect for families just wanting to chill without the hustle and bustle of a crowd. You can grab a bite to eat at Father Roosters on the beach which has delicious food and drinks. If you can stay to watch the beautiful sunset 🌅

    This Bed and Breakfast is excellent value for your $.

    This Bed and Breakfast is excellent value for your $. The location is very hilly so great walks to the beach and up to higher neighborhoods for excellent views. The breakfast was great and an opportunity to meet other travellers. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance and you may need a car or a cab for dinner after dark. I also took advantage of the day pass at Maracuya - great value to use their pool, beach and restaurant. Its about 20-25 min walk from the Hotel Ocotal.

    My stay was too short - would definitely come back again If the opportunity arises. The staff was so helpful, even scheduled for someone from a Lab to come to our villa to take our covid tests for the return home, which was so convenient for us.

    The bed & breakfast is in an elevated position overlooking Playa Ocotal and enjoys spectacular views from the terrace. Great pool with loungers and comfortable bedrooms - quality bedding with each having a private outdoor area and patio furniture. Owners are warm & welcoming and very responsive to emails/WhatsApp messages. There is secure parking on site. Ocotal beach is approximately 15 mins away on foot and has a great restaurant, otherwise for the majority of restaurants it means a drive into Coco.Beach.

    Traveling with my husband and friends, we booked 2 rooms at Casa Avi Fauna for several days. Sandra and Patrick were excellent hosts and communicated well prior to our trip, as well as made us feel very much at home during our stay. Sandra was especially kind and took time to give us local recommendations and offered us homebaked treats as well. If you like cats and dogs, they have many to love on 😊 Highly recommend staying here during your visit to Ocotal - we would love to come back one day!

    I had read some poor reviews but I really liked this place! It had a lot of character. It had a garden area with seating, hammocks etc., It had a very nice tiled pool, it had a large veranda. It had a lot of what you might call "old world charm". The breakfast was good: buffet style to start, then hot scrambled egg with or without beans served to you. There was some interesting paintings adorning the hallways. It was about an eight minute walk to the Ocotal beach.

    The view from the property of Playa Ocotal was amazing! The beach was a 15 minute walk with some decent snorkeling on the left side of the beach by the rocks. The infinity pool was very refreshing with incredible views of the ocean. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. We enjoyed our breakfasts every morning prepared by Lili and eating at Father Rooster’s on the beach (1 of 2 restaurants within walking distance of the hotel).

    Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Bed was very comfortable with air conditioning. Beautiful covered outdoor seating area for included breakfast. Food was delicious! Eggs and beans with rice and fruit, cheese, bread, cereal, orange juice, etc. Lovely outdoor pool. In-room mini refrigerator. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and bar soap all in private shower. Short walk (but very hilly) to Ocotal Beach for a gorgeous sunset!

    Wonderful, large apartment with a beautiful view of the beach. Pool and beach were beautiful. No supermarket of any kind near beach so I would recommend buying food and supplies before you reach the hotel. Cocos is a few miles away (taxi ride was 3,000 mil) each way. The only restaurant was very cool but very commercialized and caters to expats. And...it was expensive. Was hoping for a traditional Soda with traditional Casados

    Super super super!! We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful guesthouse. The room was great, the pool was awesome, the dogs / cats are cute and the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. Ocotal beach and beach bar is stunning! Our hosts were super friendly, helpful and interesting to talk to. We had an amazing few days enjoying the area (having your own car is recommended to help get around). Peaceful bliss!

    This is a great hotel if you have proper expectations. If you are looking for a B&B with a fantastic view and are willing to drive a few minutes to local attractions then it will be perfect. Breakfast/host was amazing and the pool and view are great. I believe their is only 6 rooms so it is very quaint. The beach which is very close by car but a hike by foot is amazing… very non touristy

    Walking distance from Ocotal beach, the hotel is really quiet. Rooms are spacious and very well maintained, and the inner courtyard is enjoyable to hang out in at dawn, listening to and/or watching morning birds. Staff is very nice. They realised I wanted to practice my Spanish so they were very patient with me (while they speak fluent English). Breakfast is tasty. Would come back.

    Location was fantastic, ideally located for the beach. Rooms were clean and comfortable and all necessary information was received in advance. So nice to have a dip in the infinity pool after a hot day. The chef that came up to the hotel to make breakfast was lovely and breakfast was delicious.
