GETTING AROUND
Guests will be most comfortable with a rental car or golf cart for their stay, which we can assist with!  While it is walkable around Playa Ocotal, most shops and restaurants are located in Playas del Coco. We do not recommend this home without a rental car or private driver.

The Location⁣
This condo sits in the oceanfront development of Los Almendros, just steps from the soft sand of Playa Ocotal.  The development has several common pools and is just down the beach from the famous Father Rooster restaurant.  You are just a 10-minute drive to the downtown of Playas del Coco where you'll find several supermarkets, fruit vendors, and more restaurants, bars, and shops to count. Enjoy a walk along the beach boardwalk or stroll the beach from point to point for a 3km walk. Many scuba diving, sport fishing, and sightseeing tours depart from Playa Ocotal and Playas del Coco. You’re also close to several area day trip spots – waterfalls, hiking, hot springs, and mud baths, cultural experiences, and river tours. Guanacaste Airport (LIR) is a 40-minute drive.
⁣
Guest Services⁣
Our company manages 100+ vacation rentals in the area so we operate differently than an independent Vacation Rental "Host".  We have a team that will assist with your visit to the property:
Our VACATION SPECIALISTS can assist with transportation, tours, boat trips, in-property services like chefs and spa services, as well as area information.
One of our HOUSE MANAGERS will be your point of contact for any questions you have related to the property before and during your stay.
Our VACATION SPECIALISTS and HOUSE MANAGERS work as a team to provide you with the best vacation experience possible!

Loved hearing the waves and the easy walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart for the week and used private drivers for a few excursions. We felt safe and the property was in good condition. We enjoyed Playa Ocotal most of all the beaches we visited! We definitely got a work out in going to and from the beach day - be prepared for stairs!

Wonderful property, gorgeous views from the balcony including lots of bird and even monkeys! Snorkeling from the beach was exactly what we had hope for (several different colourful fishes and swimming in schools of fish). A rental car made the stay worryfree as we were able to head to Coco whenever we needed anything. Sunset colors were gorgeous in Ocotal but we couldn't see the sunset directly on the horizon. A drive over to Playa Hermosa one evening, checked that off of our trip bucket list.Communication with staff was excellent. Would gladly stay here again!

Awesome Location, Well-equipped house

This place was incredible. Wonderful views of the beach. The house was so well-stocked. The rental team was so helpful and just a text away if anything was needed. The beach is a special one and a quick walk. The pools on the property was nice. This was a wonderful trip. The rental team was also very helpful and kind when I left my my passport behind! Pura Vida!

We had a great time at Los Almendros! Easy walk to a quiet beach, good restaurant and 3 nice and quiet pools on site. There are a lot of stairs to get up to the condo we stayed in from the beach and pools, so keep that in mind if you have any physical limitations. The management was so helpful and communicative! Would definitely recommend this location.

This place is peaceful and has a superb location. Only about a 2 minute walk to the beach and in a gated community. The guards actively watch over things during the night. With only a few min drive to Coco, you can rent a golf cart and zip to Coco where there are so many local shops and grocery stores the beach. It's a lot of fun, views are spectacular, 3 pools to choose from and clean accommodations. Definitely recommend!!

Delightful!!!

What a great time we had- the unit was exactly as pictured and very well stocked with supplies for cooking, coffee, beaching, and laundry so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Awesome air conditioning too. The management was very responsive and helpful when we had a question and even delayed our check out time because of our flight time. I would absolutely stay here again!

Ideal accommodation

This apartment exceeded our expectations. The property manager, Jennifer, and her entire team was helpful from the word go. It was easy to reach the apartment. The walk to the beach was easy. The pools in the complex were clean. The apartment was immaculate and very nicely decorated. Everything was perfect and we would certainly recommend it and/or come again! We were there with our three kids- 21, 24 and 25 and they too had a fabulous time and said this was the nicest accommodation we have ever booked.

Ocotal Hidden Gem

We were extremely satisfied with this VRBO in Ocotal. The VRBO is nestled on a hillside overlooking the bay. The views from the porch are amazing. It is a short walk down to the beautiful beach and a close walk to a nice restaurant called father Roosters. The VRBO had everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was well kept and clean, everything worked just fine and the commute into Play Del Coco by car is short. A great place for families or couples.
