Whether you're sticking a toe in the water or searching for treasures on the shoreline, Ocotal Beach is a lovely place to spend time with the kids. Why not bring a picnic and a rug and make a day of it?

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting El Ocotal. Ocotal Beach is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are numerous other worthwhile attractions to check out. Playa Hermosa, Coco Beach, and Playa Panamá are not far from the stretch of coastline and will fill in your day nicely.

8/10 Very Good! (1,251 reviews)
Overall our stay here was great. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. The pools were perfect, tons of seating, always clean and the entertainment provided was pretty good. My only issue was the food. Breakfast was great but the lunch and dinner options were pretty bad. Just very bland choices and not the best grade of meats.

If that is the beach in front of the RIU it is excellent. Very clean, scenic and walkable.
