Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay in Bernard’s house very much. Father Rooster was steps away and the food was delicious and the atmosphere especially nice when they had the band and ceviche bar. Having access to the beach clubs was a huge plus and gave us variety in our pool/beach days. We appreciated the options quite a bit. Although we had some hiccups with driver pick ups, Vanessa was very responsive and offered to cover a cab to get us to the airbnb at no cost to us. We did find the photos to be a little out of date (linens aren’t white as pictured) and some new furniture that while functional doesn’t really fit the space that well. However these were minor things. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will probably visit Playa Ocotal again! Some honourable mentions for the cook at home chef option given to us by Vanessa. And we hired a boat captain through a travel agency called “my tan feet” named “Marcy” who was amazing. Saw whales, jumping devil rays, turtles, puffer fish , cool caves and more! All in all a great trip!

Ocotal

We really liked the quiet and relaxing vibe of this property. The pool was lovely and never busy. The beach was a short walk away and Father Roosters restaurant was also a short walk. From our front door we saw many birds, lizards, frogs and monkeys. The property was adequate and had air conditioning in each room which was nice. It is great to have a washer and dryer as well. We had lots of beach towels and some pool toys and a couple beach chairs. Vanessa was excellent and very helpful!
