Find somewhere else to stay.
I'll make this quick and honest. The staff barely acknowledged us. The lights in our room did not work and there was no phone to contact the staff. The room had not been recently cleaned. There were only sheets on the beds. Giant iguanas dominated the pools/hot tub. We left the minute the sun came up and the reception was locked and closed so there was no staff present to check out with.

Amazing views. Secluded and very romantic.
Far walk to the beach. Standard free breakfast. Outdated rooms. Amazing pool overlooking the best view in Costa Rica. Very secluded. You need a car or will have to taxi everywhere.

Ocotal beach, picture perfect
We had a great stay. The views were amazing of the ocean. Very relaxing, good food at the restaurant. Rooms are clean but need a few upgrades. Pools are wonderful with great views but pool chairs need repair. I would stay again.

awesome views...wish it was better maintained
Views to die for. You will get the best sunset view from the infinity pool here. You have easy access to the beach itself. They have a Jacuzzi and a beach facing tennis court also. I just wish the pools and the entire surrounding is maintained a bit better. The bath tubs were rusty. There were ants on the table. Couple of pools were left uncleansed. The reception is missing people most of the time. No phones in the room so you end up waiting at the reception all the time. For the price, this is still a great place.

Spectacular views peaceful locaton.
Peaceful and beautiful location. We were only there for one night, but hope to go back again very soon. Helpful and friendly staff. Close to Coco if you should want crowds or other restaurants and services, but away from the noise, hussle and bussle. Great value!

Like 'The Shining' only in summer
Terrible hotel!! The photos on the site were probably taken years ago, when someone actually took care of the property. No staff anywhere to be seen, decks looked like if you stepped on them, you'd fall, "beach towels" were really way overused hand towels, we did not dare try breakfast. On top of it all, just collected 1 reward night even though we stayed 2.

Okay a bit rundown hotel close to the beach.
My wife and I were very excited to stay here. We looked at pictures on Expedia and everything seemed great. Once we got there we were a little disappointed. We read reviews about the maintenance not being taken care of and they are absolutely right. Although its cheap and on the beach, it definitely can use a lot of remodeling; the gym (which was kinda a joke), pools, hot tub, rooms, eating area, and a little other things. We didn't get the room we requested, but they did work with us and we only paid for one night instead of two. I would recommend this hotel to you, but I would definitely say DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS! We went to different beaches around Ocotal, and I would say that Ocotal was the best beach around that area. Although this wasn't our favorite hotel, we made the very best to enjoy it and made sure we had fun.

Needs repairs
The patio was severely damaged do to erosion. Only one patio door worked. The shower sliding door did not work. The towels where small and rough. The WIFI worked ONLY at the restaurant. Be ready for walking up and down a steep hill (it is on a hillside overlooking the water). The beaches where black sand. Not too many people around. We rented a car, which was worth it. The place could use some updating, so don't expect a 3 or 4 rating on this. Leaves constantly fell into the pool, but someone came by at least once a day to clean the pool.

Nice hotel but needs a lot of maintenance.
Hotel is nice located and staff does their work but needs a lot of maintenance. Ice machine does not work, water is permanently leaking in our bathtub, door key does not work. Had to wait almost 24 hours for our towels. Same breakfast every morning and kitchen and bar dirty floor. Pool bar not working and used dishes on the area for days. Workers do what they can but don't have the tools. Looks like management is not interested in this business.

hotel with great ocean views. rooms are comfortable and breakfast was acceptable. It is unfortunate that apparently the owners have decided to stop investing in improvements and maintenance, you can see a significant degree of neglect in their facilities.

Nice room in front of the beach
The hotel used to be great, now is not. It looks like maintenance is not a word they know. The gym and the tennis court are in ruins, the pools are not very well-looked-after, however the rooms are still great, just a few steps from the beach. Bungalows with numbers in the 200-206 are closer to the beach and not up the hill, walking up the hill is terrible, you have to do it every mooring for breakfast. The beach is beautiful, just a little small, and lots of local people catching fish makes the place a little unpleasant. The view at the restaurant is the best, beautiful. For dinning and almost everything you want to do, you have to drive to Playas del Coco, just a 5 min drive.

Ant infested
there were red ants everywhere and the air conditioner was not powerful enough to completely cool the room. Several people in our party woke up with multiple bites (presumably by the ants). The free breakfast was hardly worth the price! They had white bread, warm watermelon, pineapple, and two dispensers with generic cereal.

staff is warm and friendly hotel was probably once a really nice place but now the toilet doesnt work , shower was missing drain plug, only two towels in room , the glass doors you have to lock manually every time in or out , iguanas though cool are everywhere and make noise at night, bed was terrible sheets hadnt been changed, pools were dirty, hottub didnt work, the place was empty and those who were staying usually checked out after 1 night very dissapointed definitely looks better than it is although the views are great hotel only 1 star at best.

Past Glory
This must have been an elegant hotel at one time. The layout and views are fantastic. You will not find a better place to watch the sunset in Costa Rica than the deck at the restaurant no one seems to eat at. But you can drink there anytime. The place, beach and Ocotel area seem very safe and they are very private. You will have a quiet little beach virtually all to yourself with birds, iguanas and even monkeys in the trees. The flowers, the soft waves, the black sand, beautiful shells and beach side bar/café are awesome. But don't expect everything here. The trade off is that repair and upkeep of the place is badly needed to return it to the 4-5 stars it once was. You may not always have hot water, the safe may not lock, the sliding doors take two adults to slide open, the parquet floor pieces are a daily puzzle to re-assemble, no hot in any of the hot tubs or jets that worked, breakfast of rice beans and fried plantains gets a bit old. Coco Beach with all the resturants and bars is a quick 10 minute drive if you want action. Buy some local fruit, some cold local beer and enjoy just sitting on your patio looking over the beach....

Worth the money
It's a nice hotel in a beautiful location. We went down to coco beach everyday, which was only a $6 cab ride. The only problem we had was with the beach. There is a beach there but not what you would think when you think Costa Rica.
