We stayed at Vista Ocotal for 9 nights over Christmas and New Years.
From the moment we booked our holiday, we felt welcomed by Pam, who greeted us with emails and information about the property.
Leading up to our trip, Pam was happy to answer all of our questions and put us in contact with Sebastián, the property manager.
When we arrived, Sebastian greeted us at the property and gave us a quick overview of the property. During our stay, Sebastian was happy to help us book transportation into Coco or to Diamante Eco Adventure Park. When we had a problem with the air conditioning, he promptly arrived at the property with a technician to fix it. When it still wasn’t working, he returned to the property and fixed it immediately with a quick flick of the breaker switch. This truly says a lot about the quality of care as he could have easily instructed us to do this over messaging.
Our stay at Vista Ocotal was amazing. The villa is so well equipped! Each day we discovered something new in the villa. The beach chairs are super comfortable. One of the four chairs is missing a screw at the back, it is still comfortable to sit in, but you have to be careful twisting in it. We hope these chairs, or similar ones are there next year as they were so great for the beach!
Ocotal is a fantastic area. The beach is perfect for walking and the rocky outcroppings at either end are fun to explore. We loved seeing the eagle rays swimming, watching the howler monkeys move along the beach trees, and were even fortunate enough to see a sea turtle one morning.
Each morning we loved being woken by the howler monkeys communicating with each other, the birds chirping, and the beautiful sun shining. Sitting on the patio to enjoy coffee and breakfast while listening to the natural sounds was always enjoyable.
We spent most of our time on the beach; however, the pool area was lovely for the late afternoons. We didn’t visit the Coco beach club this trip, as we loved our area; however, we may go on a future trip.
When visiting Vista Ocotal, don’t forget to go to Father Rooster. We loved the food and the amazing staff! Oh, and definitely enjoy a Tica Linda to drink!! We also loved Diamante Eco Adventure park and highly recommend a day there!
We absolutely loved our vacation in Costa Rica and can’t wait to return to Vista Ocotal next year!
Thank you for everything.
