Top El Ocotal Hotel Reviews

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is something else!!! Starting with the awesome staff and the beauty of the property. The room was very clean and cozy. The food was amazing and really good prices. It worth every penny our 2 nights in Andaz."

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on the beach and with a great pool! The hotel is updated and modern, has a gift shop & restaurants on site, and is walking distance to a number of great restaurants, stores, and the marina. The AC works great! We thought it was a great value!"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Place was beautiful, stayed in a private house. The AC in the room was perfect. Bartender in the main bar was incredible. Didn’t like the pool bars closing at 5pm and wished they had activities that had people in the hotel get together. But everything was perfect."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The resort is beautiful, especially on the ocean side of the street. The pool at the other side is large with a swim-up bar and very pleasant. Front desk and site personnel were great. Concierge not so much. I could tell they just book with the companies they have an agreement with, without any concern for what we are looking for- they were on autopilot and just pointed to whatever was shown on their iPad. I wouldn't recommend doing the ATV forest tour through them. It was mostly farmland with some forest, and saw zero animals. The estuary mangrove tour was excellent, and I would recommend going as early as possible. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with seating overlooking the ocean. The rooms are as expected and clean. The view from the oceanfront rooms is gorgeous. No toilet paper allowed in toilets, just fyi. The restaurants on the "Boulevard" had extra-long waits for food. The servers were all pleasant but either short-staffed or highly disorganized. DO NOT TRY THEIR SUSHI restaurant. Worst sushi ever eaten in our lives. The hotel's gelataria was great and reasonably priced. The lines look long, but they are well-staffed and go fast. The Bar is good about having pitchers of water to refill water bottles, but otherwise, there isn't a dedicated water refill station. There is a liquor store near the hotel where you can buy bottled water, Gatorade, soda, etc. Location is NOT secluded but near shops and restaurants, which is what we wanted."

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing time at this Hotel. I was nervous because I was on a solo trip, but i felt completely at ease and safe. The views are magnificent and everyone was friendly. The free shuttle service to downtown Tamarindo is great and I enjoyed the beach club that we have access too. The food at the Hotel is excellent as well. I really loved my experience."
