Los Almendros is a gated community on the beach in Playa Ocotal. There is a guard that lets guests in and out of the property and shared amenities like a large pool with oceanviews, loungers and covered table areas.

Guests will be most comfortable with a rental car or golf cart for their stay, which we can assist with!  While it is walkable around Playa Ocotal, most shops and restaurants are located in Playas del Coco. We do not recommend this home without a rental car or private driver.

A small slice of Paradise.
The property is located on a beautiful blacksand beach in a quite cove. It is as clean, vibrant and romantic as it looks in the pictures. Internet and cell phone connection in this area is very poor. Consequently, the entertainment facilities in the house do not work as they rely on wifi that does not work. Fortunately, this area is so rich with things to do, you will hardly notice. The booking and check in process was easy and communication with the property manager was prompt and professional. I have already recommended this location to several of my friends. This was a great place to spend a vacation.

Wonderful Beach Stay
Enjoyable beach stay that met our expectations: steps to ocotal beach and restaurant; magical Sunsets and close drive (via our rental car) to Coco. Place was clean with minimal snorkel gear but have rentals available, no binoculars but bird watching from the porch is nice and easy to use gas grill for our meals/ comfortable beds and good TV/ kitchen but need your own groceries and have option for grocery delivery. Thank you for the stay. Pura Vida!!!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful beach
My family (kids 13 and 10 years old) had a great stay at this home. The home itself provided everything we needed and we had plenty of space to spread out. The balcony was my favorite place to be. I kept the Birds of Costa Rica book on the table and enjoyed trying to identify the many colorful birds. It was very relaxing and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. Having the beach only steps away made our days so much easier. I chose this beach after a lot of research and we enjoyed it very much. The tide pool with lots of fish was a huge highlight for the kids. We also enjoyed how uncrowded the beach was and the beautiful sunsets. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay at a beautiful beach away from the crowds.

Nice house, perfect location
My wife and I stayed here with our mothers. There was plenty of room for everyone and we all felt very safe. Although the house is very nice, the real highlight was the location! Right on the beach, excellent snorkeling on both sides. The hosts offered to help set up excursions for us but we spent most of our time swimming and snorkeling right in front of the house! The plunge pool was also a nice, shaded dip in the afternoon. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice Location Close to the Beach
The best thing about this was its location close to the Beach. It could use some TLC regarding some doors that stuck and would not close properly. The upstairs bathroom shower and wc area was very small and hard to maneuver in. It could be improved by some better furniture around the pool area. The beach bar within walking distance, Roosters, was overpriced and just o.k. There are better options at Coco Beach. Marlin Del Ray Sailing was great.

Amazing Location, Great Stay Overall, Some Issues
Like other reviewers mention, the location is amazing, the restaurant Father Rooster is top notch with about as good of a view as you will get, the beach is beautiful and great for snorkeling. Had no Wifi and they had no fix until an appointment could be made for a technician to come after we left, but thankfully, Verizon service still worked well. The place has enough room overall, but it is tight and I am not sure who had the idea to get a sofa with a drink holder sticking out on the side...I must have hit my leg on there ten times. It is really beautiful, but the backyard pool area needs a little clearing out and most importantly, the gate to the beach has very jagged stones that can easily be moved to protect the potential of dangerous footing. Lastly, I cannot for the life of me understand why they would use a reusable decorative toilet ribbon/cover that is supposed to show that it was cleaned, but I am not sure if the reusable ribbon was supposed to be thrown out each time, so I just pushed it to the back. Anyway, mostly smaller stuff, but worth mentioning and still a great place to stay overall.

Great location, comfortable house, excellent owner
My husband and I had a terrific stay. The house was exactly as expected and very comfortable for two of us. The kitchen was nicely equipped with high end appliances and I particularly appreciated the ice and water through the refrigerator door. The air conditioning kept the interior cool, though we spent most of our time at the house outdoors on the porch overlooking the plunge pool and ocean, or in the pool. The plunge pool is wider than a jacuzzi but has a bench around the edge to sit on that puts the water level near shoulder depth when seated. The water was a great temperature; cool but not cold. Though the neighbors and beach are close, the myriad flora made the space feel private. The community is behind a gate that seemed to be staffed at all hours, and we felt very safe. The beach is just beyond the trees and a metal gate at the edge of the patio. There are about 4 rocky steps to get down to the beach that anyone with mobility issues would want to be careful negotiating. The beach is a wonderful place to stroll with soft black sand. During most of our stay there were very few people on the beach, though the weekend seemed to bring more, but not enough to ever feel crowded. Having a beachfront restaurant with good food, Father Roosters, only a 3 minute walk was incredibly convenient. I cannot say enough good things about the property owners. They were communicative, quick responding to any questions, concerns or requests, and very accommodating. Book this house!

Fabulous Family Getaway
This property was great! The owner and management team were so accomodating and quick to answer all questions. We had everything we needed and utilized the pool and beach toys available. We loved being just steps away from a perfect family beach. Our kids (aged 2-11) loved snorkeling and playing in the tide pools and in the waves. The air conditioning and fans kept the property nice and cool and we all slept well. I loved having morning coffee on the deck watching and hearing the waves. Just steps down the beach from this property is a restaurant Father Roosters. It was a great location and good food but if you’re looking for authentic Costa Rican cuisine we'd recommend the Soda Jardine in Coco. It's right off the beach and the guys running it are lovely! We loved Playa Ocotal but also enjoyed other beaches nearby. Playa Hermosa is also beautiful and has nice gentle waves for kids. We highly recommend this property and would stay here again!

Mostly Good
Had three main issues. First, the jets on the pool wouldn't stay on. No one told us how to turn them on, so the water was cloudy. Someone came early every morning to clean the pool and turn them on but they would only stay on for 20 minutes. Finally figured out how to turn them on myself. Our last day, they seemed to finally stay on for a while. There was no way to lock the house and go to the beach other than using the front door. Then you had to walk down a steep slippery slope on the side of the house to get to the beach. I emailed them and they had someone come out and put a new lock on the side door so we could lock the house and go down the outside stairs. The only problem with using this door is the couch is only 2 feet away from the door so you had to squeeze in and out of the door. Our third day there, the roof in the upstairs bedroom started leaking. It leaked a brown water on to the bedspread and one of my shirts. Ruined a new shirt because the stain will not come out. Had to move all of our things down to the bottom bedroom. Didn't want to chance the leaking roof again. But the house overall was really nice. The kitchen was well equipped compared to other rentals we have had in the past, which we really appreciated. We really enjoyed the location of the house, but you need a car to get around, which we did have. The snorkeling right at the beach and rock formations close by was really good! Saw lots of different sea life.

Not only was the location perfect, the support via what’s app made the trip amazing. Throughout the trip, I had direct access to three incredible humans who facilitated all our needs: excursions, safety questions, general questions like where the best local market…and so much more.

Perfect house on the beach
My family had a wonderful stay at the house. It is steps off the beach. The location is perfect. The house has some snorkeling gear and water toys. The beach is black sand and can be very hot (bring water shoes). There is terrific snorkeling along the rocks to the right when you go out the back door. The community pool is close just up a flight of stairs. My family loved walking to Father Roosters at night for dinner. The beds were extremely comfortable. The upstairs bathroom is a bit tight but not a problem. We had a wonderful 5 days here and will hook again when we are in Costa Rica.

Disappointing
The management company gave me the approval to arrive one day early, later to find out the house was not ready, and we spent the first night in a dirty house. After arriving we were informed that there was construction going on next door, we delt with noise, dust and trash in the back yard the whole stay. I was told we would get a credit of 30 percent for the inconvenience, that never happened. I would never recommend Rich Coast Vacations.

Beautiful Oceanfront Property
My family of 5 stayed at this beautiful location for 10 days in June and loved it. The property is right on the beach. The beach is not crowded and has warm water. There are also some tide pools at this beach. A short walk down the beach is a great, fun restaurant called Father Rooster. The house is very well maintained, with all the amenities you need. It is upgraded and has fans and a/c units in each room to keep you cool. The plunge pool is great to cool you down as well. Very close to restaurants and stores. The management company is excellent. They communicated with me very quickly from the day that I booked until the day that I checked out. The day we arrived there was a power outage in Ocotal which caused our internet to go out. They sent a technician out and had it fixed in no time. I highly recommend this property and hope that we can visit it again when we return. Pura Vida!!!!
