Find somewhere else to stay.

I'll make this quick and honest. The staff barely acknowledged us. The lights in our room did not work and there was no phone to contact the staff. The room had not been recently cleaned. There were only sheets on the beds. Giant iguanas dominated the pools/hot tub. We left the minute the sun came up and the reception was locked and closed so there was no staff present to check out with.

Bonito pero tiene oportunidad de mejora

La vista del restaurante es preciosa sino increíble, pero creo que no se explota lo suficiente, además las instalaciones las tiene que revisar, llegamos y no había luz ni aire acondicionado y nos cambiaron de habitación a una mejor, donde el televisor no funcionaba, la piscina no tenía el filtro del agua y realmente la instalación eléctrica se veía insegura, apesar de eso las habitaciones estaban limpias y el personal nos atendió bien, pero se ve que hace falta inversión.

We had a great stay. The views were amazing of the ocean. Very relaxing, good food at the restaurant. Rooms are clean but need a few upgrades. Pools are wonderful with great views but pool chairs need repair. I would stay again.

Mejor locación de la zona

la locación del hotel es inigualable tiene la mejor vista de la zona, el menú del restaurante tiene precios muy elevados pero vale la pena ya que los platillos son perfectos en especial el pollo en salsa de maní. Es importante que inviertan en una mejor red WiFi ya que en las habitaciones no sirve

awesome views...wish it was better maintained

Views to die for. You will get the best sunset view from the infinity pool here. You have easy access to the beach itself. They have a Jacuzzi and a beach facing tennis court also. I just wish the pools and the entire surrounding is maintained a bit better. The bath tubs were rusty. There were ants on the table. Couple of pools were left uncleansed. The reception is missing people most of the time. No phones in the room so you end up waiting at the reception all the time. For the price, this is still a great place.

Peaceful and beautiful location. We were only there for one night, but hope to go back again very soon. Helpful and friendly staff. Close to Coco if you should want crowds or other restaurants and services, but away from the noise, hussle and bussle. Great value!

Like 'The Shining' only in summer

Terrible hotel!! The photos on the site were probably taken years ago, when someone actually took care of the property. No staff anywhere to be seen, decks looked like if you stepped on them, you'd fall, "beach towels" were really way overused hand towels, we did not dare try breakfast. On top of it all, just collected 1 reward night even though we stayed 2.

Okay a bit rundown hotel close to the beach.

My wife and I were very excited to stay here. We looked at pictures on Expedia and everything seemed great. Once we got there we were a little disappointed. We read reviews about the maintenance not being taken care of and they are absolutely right. Although its cheap and on the beach, it definitely can use a lot of remodeling; the gym (which was kinda a joke), pools, hot tub, rooms, eating area, and a little other things. We didn't get the room we requested, but they did work with us and we only paid for one night instead of two. I would recommend this hotel to you, but I would definitely say DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS! We went to different beaches around Ocotal, and I would say that Ocotal was the best beach around that area. Although this wasn't our favorite hotel, we made the very best to enjoy it and made sure we had fun.

Needs repairs

The patio was severely damaged do to erosion. Only one patio door worked. The shower sliding door did not work. The towels where small and rough. The WIFI worked ONLY at the restaurant. Be ready for walking up and down a steep hill (it is on a hillside overlooking the water). The beaches where black sand. Not too many people around. We rented a car, which was worth it. The place could use some updating, so don't expect a 3 or 4 rating on this. Leaves constantly fell into the pool, but someone came by at least once a day to clean the pool.
