Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Access to great beaches and very nice accommodations for a reasonable price. The hot tub could have been a little more modern and hotter. Pool features are just okay - still its one of my top 5 hotels in the nearby area (given the price).

This place was amazing a few years ago. The rooms over looked the ocean, they had an infinity pool, like 300m up on a cliff over looking the ocean just right for sunsets with drinks. The beach was very quiet and nice, few people there. The only thing was walking up the cliff to get to your room. You also had breakfast on a huge terrace at the edge of the cliff while iguanas and tropical birds awaited you to get up so they could steal your fruit.

We recently tried to book a few nights at the Ocotal Beach Resort, we picked our dates to stay and the booking agency said those dates are not avilible. Today well eating at Father Roosters that is next door to Ocotal Beach Resort, we walked over to see the beach rooms (we stayed here in 2008 and loved it). Much to our surprise, the lower building is empty and the swimming pool is empty, see attached photos & security gaurds not letting nobody in. Good luck Ocotal Beach Resort.

Resort has been closed and supposedly has a new owner who plans elaborate renovations, but in Costa Rica, who knows? The best alternative to stay for a quiet beautiful and peaceful alternative to the mayhem in Playas del Coco is Bahia Pez Vela which is a 2015 Tripadvisor Travelers choice Award winner.

As has been stated before the place does not seem to be enjoying its glory years. It is a little run down or dare I say, in need of some deep cleaning. Not all bad, though! We did enjoy our stay. The hotel offers a beautiful view and the nearby Ocotal beach was stunning. Staff was not very helpful.

10 years ago this place may have been the spot to be... but now it's almost as if it's a wasteland. The property is VERY run down and everything looks like it hasn't been tended too in decades. There are a total of 5 people on the resort, with a few staff members. Since we've been here, the hotel has quite literally run out of food (which is insanely expensive btw). The view is beautiful, but that's all this place has going for it. 1/10, wouldn't go back.

I use to prefer mountains instead beaches because I have a huge fear to the sea. But... Ocotal is an exception because the sea is easy and the beach is plane... so... you never feel freaky. Besides that... the service of the hotel is really good.... and the views are stunning

Amazing views. Quiet beach in Playas Del Coco, Guanacaste. There are plenty of monkeys, raccoons, iguanas and birds to see. Restaurant faces the water with decks leading to a path directly to the sand.
