Recent Playa Ocotal guest reviews

Great location, nice grounds, clean accommodations, response from host fantastic. Grounds and pools are kept up - clean. I would not recommend this place if you have kids. I would stay again for sure..recommend:)
SHERRIE M. | Mar 2026
The view from the second floor of a three level condo is amazing. The location of the property is a bit far from restaurants or entertainment but this is what we were looking for so we loved it. You need a low gear vehicle to get up there but totally worth it. Waking up to the sound of the kiskadees, parrots and howling monkeys made our Costa Rican experience very enjoyable. Two more properties are being built close by and the work of the crane and the trucks from 6 to 6 is distracting depending on the wind direction. Overall, an unforgettable stay.

Another great stay at 7B. This unit has become a go to destination of mine and it never lets me down. Spacious, with all the amenities you could need. Relaxing on the deck or by the pool watching the sunsets or the ocean waves. Already planning my next trip back.
