Recent Playa Ocotal guest reviews

Our family of 6 stayed at this home for a week. It is high up on the hill of the resort meaning it has a fantastic view of the sunset every evening. However, it is quite a trek on foot if you decide to walk down the the beach/restaurant/pool area so be aware of that. We had a rental car so this was not an issue for us at all. The house has lots of room. The kitchen was stocked enough for us to have breakfast and lunch daily there which was nice. Also so nice to have a washer and dryer. The little Infiniti pool is small but sufficient to cool off in. The resort was not crowded at all when we were there. There were always plenty of chairs at the pool. The staff is so friendly. We ate at the on site restaurant several times and the food was good. They even made sushi and blackened fish for us out of our fresh catches from our fishing trip one evening. Jackie in the office was so nice and helped set up our excursions and a shuttle back to the airport for part of our crew with ease and efficiency. The resort is a very close drive to the town of Coco. The biggest complaint we would have is that the living room furniture inside the house was very dated outdoor furniture that was stained pretty badly and very worn and uncomfortable. (They were not the same cushions that were pictured on the Vacasa website.) So much so that we really avoided hanging out in the living room much at all. It was just uncomfortable. This wasn't that big of a deal to us as we spent most of our time outside but it would be so much better if this detail was updated!

The complex itself was safe and very well maintained. Pools were clean and the condo itself met all our requirements.
