Recent Playa Ocotal guest reviews

Such a fantastic place to stay with a super easy quick walk to the beach! So many birds and howler monkeys!
Christy G. | Mar 2026
The condo is amazing, clean, updated, spacious. The view is breathtaking. FYI - depending on the time of year and the angle of the sun, you may not be able to see the sunset. This was true for us - end of February, beginning of March. Also, there is a massive construction project (including an enormous crane) right in front. The noise from the construction is annoying and the view to the left is slightly obstructed. Nothing to be done about it though. It is a long drive to the top of the hill where the condo is located but the road is paved. Nothing is within walking distance. You will have to drive back down into town for restaurants, groceries and to access the beach. Overall, well worth it.

Gorgeous 3 bedroom villa with lovely views. Enjoyed the outdoor balcony the best. The pool was very nice but lacked full sun due to the building shade for sunbathing lovers.
