Jinotepe Refugio de Vida Silvestre Río Escalante-Chacocente Hotels

"We loved our stay at Costa Oeste! It was perfect for our family vacation with two kids under 10 years old. The rooms were comfortable (and air conditioned), the breakfast was fantastic, the staff were very friendly, the pool was a hit with the kids, and the beach was stunning. It was hard to leave!"

"Pros: beautiful property in the middle of the jungle, private beach, and delicious food at the restaurant. They were very kind to upgrade our room close to the beach. It was a beautiful 2-story villa with a kitchen, private pool, a balcony, and AC in the bedroom. Cons: lack of honesty and services Leading up to the trip, we received a few emails telling us about all the activities and services available in the resort. They offered complementary hiking and snorkeling, and we could pay for yoga classes, spa treatments, romantic packages, and activities such as surfing, hikes on Mombacho and Omepete island, etc. None of that was available once we got there. We asked the reception to book activities and they said they would call amd organize them. They never did. After a few days, we decided to book them ourselves through tour websites. We even asked them to call a nearby golfing course and they said they would. After 3 days, they said the golf course hadn't answered yet. My partner emailed the golf course and we got a response within 5 minutes. The staff at the reception were very kind, but not helpful and the lack of honestly from the management really disappointed us. The restaurant staff were always great and the service was excellent. The reception even gave us the wrong opening hours for the restaurant so we showed up late one evening. The staff were still there and were so extremely kind to prepare us a meal even after closing."

"Our reservation was not received, it was very difficult to find and get to, they didn’t tell us that the kitchen closed at 6:00pm, the room was smelly, power was sporadic and the tv didn’t work. Generally unwelcoming. But the beach was beautiful."

"The ranch is an amazing property. Our room was beautiful, and we enjoyed the guided birdwatching and monkey trips offered. It was expensive to get there from the airport and back."

"The beach, facilites and overall the staff."
