Good value. Small rooms and tired pool area. However, fantastic staff (shoutout to Hildy, Lilly and Noami - awesome people), a lovely open common eating/relaxing area, and a fairly close walk to beautiful Ocotal Beach made it worthwhile. Breakfast is good. Two eggs choices cooked to order, rice with beans,plantain, fried sausage and fresh fruit, juice, tea or coffee. Drive your car or take a short Uber ride to Playa del Coco for lots of options including another beach, many restaurants, banks, groceries stores and shopping. Lots to do there.

Great location and property on the edge of ‘town’. Gated with security guard at night & staff during the day. Room was basic and clean. Bathroom & shower was remodeled & nice. Small fridge & cold A/C with remote. Beautiful porch overlooking to pool. Lots of shade. Breakfast is included each morning. Eggs cooked to order, sausage, basic cereals, toast, coffee & orange juice. Everyone super friendly. Long walk into COCO Beach town, but convenient store 1 block, 6/7 mins walk to Ocotal Beach. 2 restaurants on beach. Father Chicken is the fabulous spot! I could have eaten there every night. Great atmosphere. Drawbacks to this B&B? The iguanas run around the metal roof all night long, but you are in Costa Rica and it’s all part of the culture & experience! Also, they provide towels but NO WASH/FACE CLOTHS. Well worth the price and very safe!

We stayed one night in a room with a single queen bed. Our room was clean and had a mini split type AC. We were quite surprised how nice the property was considering we only paid $65 which included breakfast. Hilda checked us in and gave us a gate opener for use to park. Our room was small and had an opaque window but we had access to a very comfortable large open lounge area and pool with lounge chairs. We would have paid more for the bigger rooms but this was the only one available. They also have domes on this site for “glamping”. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach but we drove. Would highly recommend.

The main issue was lack of laundry facilities despite being listed multiple times on their profile. Since we were backpacking, this made things difficult for us. The staff was very rude and not helpful, we felt like they didn't want us to be there. They did not come to clean our room. Furthermore, someone took our towel and I had to pay for it $20USD which was upsetting.

What a cute little B&B! Staff was beyond kind and courteous. The grounds felt safe and were gated. For the price and proximity to the airport (35-40 min), it was perfect for our stay. The breakfast was lovely and the fellow guests were so nice to converse with in the super charming dining area. We had a little trouble finding it, with 2 steep climbs that lead us to residential properties. The B&B was actually close to the main road and the gate attendant had just stepped away for a moment. Room was very, very small. No biggie, but a couple luggage racks would be helpful. A\C worked great. Larger blankets would have been helpful for our family of 3. Would not suggest more than 2 per room. Since the toilet paper is not supposed to go down the toilet, a garbage container with a lid in the bathroom would be better. This was the nicest (and hottest!) shower experience with great soap products. No safe, but it’s very small and we were not concerned. The beach was a black sand beach, about 8-9 min walk. Not a super pretty beach, a little rough, but hey it’s a beach. We paid a guy $20 for 2 chairs and an umbrella for a couple hours. The adjacent beach restaurant, Father Rooster, was fantastic with an excellent staff and food. We wouldn’t plan to return to this beach location, but the accommodations were great.

Me and my 2 friends had the best experience here. Trust me the pictures don’t do it justice. Hotel Ocotel is the best, lowkey, hotel spot you can choose, and is an absolute steal. The breakfast was great, and the staff were always accommodating. If I ever return to Costa Rica I’ll definetly be staying here again!!
