Top Ocotal Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This property is far away from everything. However it is large enough for those looking for a hotel with a walkable area. The Resort offers several restaurants, pools, and bars. Perfect location for anyone looking to put their feet up and enjoy the warmth of the day with a cool drink and food, Beach was sought of a let down, not very attractive, not private. Hotel staff should provide a warning to their guest about the locals on the beach looking to hark their goods."

Hotel Pura Vista

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing. We were sad that we only had one night here as we could have stayed for a week. The hotel is small - 6-8 rooms perched above the bay. The pool also overlooks the water and was such a treat to cool off from the heat. Mark is an excellent host and was incredibly helpful. The rooms were brilliantly laid out, modern, and comfortable. The small beach is about a 10-15 minute walk down the hill and lovely."

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good

"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

The Malinche Palace luxury villa with the stunning ocean view,close to the beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The place was beautiful, comfortable, and had a stunning view of the beach that made our stay truly special. Everything was just as described, and we couldn’t have asked for a better location.The host was fantastic—welcoming, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. You could really tell they cared about making sure we had a great experience.We loved our time here and would happily stay again. Highly recommended!"

Siwõ Art Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly upon arrival. Room is basic. Pool is nice! No options for breakfast at the hotel despite advertising that breakfast can be reserved a day before."

Amazing Ocean-View 4-BR Villa / Casa Linda / 5 minutes walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house, 10 minute walk to beach. House sits on hill above beach with a restaurant. Incredibly clean. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. It’s hard to find if you arrive at night as it’s up a side street and no house numbers. Use Google Maps and the link in the VRBO app. Lots of fruit stands around and grocery stores. Owner told us about an incredible fresh juice roadside stand. As you are leaving Coco Beach (from the house that is a right on the Main Street), go to the top of the hill (2 miles) and within 100 meters on the right is the juice stand. It’s next to the bus stop. 6000 colones for a gallon of fresh orange juice, 1000 colones for individual juices. Money well spent. Love these types of local tips."

Large Oceanview 5 Bedroom House w/ Plunge Pool, WiFi and AC in Charming Ocotal

8/10 Good

"Large space with amazing views! Plenty of space for our group of 7. There were a few issues with cleanliness but the host responded quickly and sent someone the next day to address them."

3 BD/ 3 BR Luxury Villa w/ Pool, Walk to Beach, Near Downtown Coco!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful villa! Clean and beautifully decorated. It was just a few minutes walk from Ocotal beach. Stocked kitchen supplies, beach towels, and beach chairs, everything you need. Grill by pool was fun to use. Our party of 6 was very comfortable here. Father Rooster is within walking distance and made our whole trip very special. Amazing staff and delicious food. Not the best neighborhood but property was very safe. It is notable that the Coco Beach Club is not accessible as per advertised in this properties listing. This was a specific reason we chose the property and it was disappointing to be told “we don’t recommend you go there” AFTER we purchased, planned our trip, and arrived at the property.Owners family was very prompt in communicating, I had to nudge the local contact to get basics like confirmation of airport pickup, check-in instructions, and even a physical address/location of the property. Basics where I was told “you have this” and I didn’t not. Overall great property and I recommend."

The ONLY Beachfront Studio Apartment with dipping pool on Playa Ocotal.

10/10 Excellent

"This location was perfect. Beautiful, quiet beach, and a lot of things to see within a two hours drive. I think we would have been just as happy if we stayed the entire time in the patio and ocean here and never left. Denese was so quick to respond to everything, helping us with an early check in since our flight got in so early. Hernán was an amazing host, very friendly and helpful as well. We really enjoyed our stay."
