We just returned from a 6 day stay in Playa Ocotal, and can't say enough about this fabulous property! Communication with Mark was amazing - he was so quick to respond to any questions that I had, and even reached out at one point during our stay to let us know that humpack whales had been spotted in the bay (my husband did indeed catch one breaching thanks to Mark!). The view from the condo is absolutely breath-taking...We loved waking up every morning and having coffee on the screened in porch, listening to the waves, birds (including parrots!) and sometimes even howler monkeys! Our morning beach walks felt too beautiful to be real...we loved the peace of the gorgeous, quiet beach. Father Rooster is an adorably charming beach bar/grill that is literally right next door - when we were tired, it was so nice to be able to just walk over there and get dinner and drinks. Soluna Beach Bistro is another close restaurant that was just lovely for Christmas Eve dinner. The condo itself was so well stocked with everything we could need - beach towels, chairs, and snorkeling gear galore. My 18 and 20 year old nature loving kids had a blast snorkeling over the rocks off the beach and saw all kinds of beautiful fish. The condo was clean and comfortable, and felt exceedingly safe! The staff were friendly and attentive as well, and it was wonderful being so close to Coco where we had access to groceries and more restaurant options. Absolutamente perfecto - muchas gracias!!
