Ojochal Apart Hotels

"Beautiful place. Peaceful. Private. Clean. Great place!! Owner is super helpful and very nice!!"

"Mandala boutique hotel sits in beautiful grounds with multiple villas each feeling quiet and private. We were upgraded to a villa with a plunge pool which was a great start to our stay. Being so close to the natural environment was a lovely experience as was the external bathroom-shower. Lee and Jorge were very welcoming and responsive to all our enquiries. We had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely return. Thank you!"

"Overall a great stay. Fabulous location, kids loved the pool. The greenery is so good! Much better than most hotels. Breakfast was nice (not amazing, though). Some things are getting a bit run down, but I imagine maintenance in the tropics is pretty challenging. "

"Loved the pool and the fact that the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome, they even went through the trouble of bringing “manzanas de agua” from the tree,clean them and served them pool side on a plate with salt on the side. No charge for this, just kindness. When I decided to stay an extra night they figured out how even without a reservation. Gracias a todos. I will return. Pura Vida! "

"Una buena opción en Ojochal"

"Great restaurant, love how nature is part the experience. Nice, quite pool!!"

"Out of our 9 nights in Costa Rica, we enjoyed this stay the most. The villas, each with about 4 rooms, are settled among well maintained beautiful jungle gardens. Due to the way we booked the stay, we were in two different villas. The second one was much nicer and more updated than the first. The first villa was clean, good AC, and secure, but felt a little more like “glamping.” Some villas require an uphill walk on a paved sidewalk to access. The pool was immaculate and very refreshing. We enjoyed the restaurant. Breakfast was delicious with large portions. There was live music Friday night that was not very busy, but the musician was exceptional. There was a jungle trail that we enjoyed walking on. We spotted several nice birds. We heard howler monkeys each morning but did not spot them. The best part of this stay was the staff, who were genuinely caring and kind. We traveled with an infant, and the staff were very accommodating. The housekeeper even made a little family of elephants with towels to welcome us to our room and made up the baby’s bed in the cutest way. Staff were helpful with our luggage. This hotel is off the main road on a bumpy gravel road. May be best suited for a vehicle with a little clearance. The nearby Dominical Beach was not busy and more beautiful than any other beach we saw in CR. It was fun to swim with the waves. We were sad to leave! Highly recommend if you are looking for a clean safe way to immerse yourself in the jungle. "

"Everything was amazing! We’re definitely coming back "

"The good: This is an excellent hotel with spectacular views, friendly staff, and a zen atmosphere. The bad: There is 1.8 KM of unpaved steep rocky road before you get to the gate and another kilometer before getting to the property. This is bad enough that we decided to give up 2 prepaid nights and leave early despite having a 2WD SUV (To their credit, hotel credit us for our incidentals, which accounted for part of the nightly rate). I highly recommend this hotel as long as you have known brand AWD SUV. The hotel casually informs you of this as a requirement after you book, which was too late for us."
