"I enjoyed my stay here. As much as I would love to say it was awful and keep this place to myself I can’t. It was great. It’s difficult to find something on this beach that is both affordable and nice. This meets both. I am building a place near by and until it’s completed this will definitely be my go to place. The host is a very friendly Ticco. It’s very new. Nothing but good things to say. "

"This was a lovely place to stay on the Pacific coast. Ocotal beach is a 5 minute walk from the condo, and we enjoyed walking, swimming & tide pool exploring daily. The welcome instructions were clear & communication with the property concierge was easy and response time was very quick. The condo was comfortable & well-stocked with necessary items for a beach vacation. We took a snorkeling/exploring boat trip one day and it was easy to arrange pickup at Ocotal beach.
