Spectacular Ocean View, beachfront with 3 swimming pools, snorkel gear included

Spend your day at the “Blue Flag” beach, by one of three pools or take an excursion to one of the many adventures available. We do our best to make it easy for all our guests.
Los Almendros is an upscale, beachfront development on Playa Ocotal's northern shore. This modern gated community has 43 privately owned condominiums and 24 hour security. It is the only development right on Ocotal beach. The development has 3 swimming pools, 2 outdoor barbecues and a covered gazebo. Condo 42 is the end unit on Los Almendros' premium front row. The condo's rear patio is located directly above a small tropical forest. The patio has a beautiful ocean view. It also provides nature lovers an excellent vantage point to observe many colourful birds, howler monkeys, and other amazing wildlife living in the trees below. It is a short 2 minute walk down the hill from the condo to Ocotal Beach.

Our condo is rated as one of Los Almendros' superior rental units. This condo is Los Almendros' most popular and best equipped two bedroom unit. We offer many extras to our guests that enable them to have a more memorable and relaxing vacation:
1) Beautiful ocean view
2) Very quiet and private. No condos above or below. No passing auto traffic
3) Screened rear patio with overhead fan and light
4) 55 inch QLED flat screen Smart television, dvd player and bluetooth music speaker
5) 32 inch smart tv in master bedroom and second bedroom.
6) Well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar
7) Tastefully decorated with art and pottery
8) Three independently controlled split level A/C units (living room, and both bedrooms)
9) Hermex safe (combo set by guest)
10) Deadbolt locks on all exterior doors
11) Wall mounted hairdryers in both bathrooms
12) Covered, secured parking a few steps from the front door
13) linens and towels provided
14) Snorkeling equipment included (adult and children sizes)
15) Free cruiser bicycles: two bikes w/baskets
16) Binoculars
17) Beach canopy/sun shield: ZiggyShade

Our condo is the only 2 bedroom rental unit with a screened rear patio. In the evening guests can relax and listen to the ocean surf without being bothered by insects attracted by the overhead light. The ability to use the patio day or night greatly increases the condo's living space.

Outstanding swimming and snorkeling: Playa Ocotal is one of Guanacaste's quietest and cleanest "Blue Flag Beaches". The ocean surf is very gentle. Travel guides recommend Playa Ocotal to outdoor enthusiasts who want to snorkel from a Guanacaste beach. Snorkelers drive many miles to explore the rock formations at both ends of Playa Ocotal Beach. Playa Ocotal's best snorkeling is directly below Los Almendros. On most days, you can see numerous species of colorful tropical fish including angel fish, game fish, eels, octopi, puffer fish, rays and many more, in Playa Ocotal's tranquil waters.

Playas del Coco is Guanacaste's fastest growing beach community. The town is a 5 minute drive from Los Almendros. A taxi is fairly inexpensive to town. Coco has modern grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, ATM machines, many restaurants, ice cream shops, many bars/pubs, souvenir shops, and an emergency medical facility. You’ll even find small grocery stores and family restaurants on the way to Coco from condo.

Excursion planning: Playa Ocotal is a great location from which to initiate day trips. I can provide you with trusted tour operators so you can make reservations for fishing, diving, snorkeling, sailing, rafting, tubing, zip lining, massages, hiking, bird watching, hot springs, rain forest tours, volcanoes, canopy tours, and horse back riding. There is multiple dive companies located in Coco for any scuba enthusiasts.

Father Rooster's restaurant is one of Ocotal's most popular restaurants and it is located about 100 meters from the entrance of Los Almendros. It is located right on the beach and is open for lunch and dinner. It is a great place to enjoy a delicious tropical drink, enjoy a meal and take in the fabulous sunset.

Transportation: A car is nice to have but not a necessity in Costa Rica. Taxis from Los Almendros to Coco are fairly inexpensive Bilingual tour operators provide affordable transportation from Los Almendros to Guanacaste tourist attractions. Taxi service is available to and from Liberia airport. Golf carts are another great travel option.

Bicycles: We provide our guests with two cruisers. Both bicycles have a basket and a comfortable saddle seat.

Simply Amazing

Everything about our stay was phenomenal. The staff were friendly and helpful, the condo was clean, spacious and had amazing views, and the beach was incredible. This was an amazing beach location for our family. Our communication with Mark was great. He provided all the information we needed and more. He helped us connect with a driver as we opted not to drive while in Costa Rica. Any questions we had were responded to promptly. I highly recommend!

Great location and would recommend a golf cart over a car. Unit itself is perfect for 4, and has all you need for a stay. Beach is a bit rocky in the middle but both ends have quality sand and plenty of room to swim around and play. Security is always present, and there are some pools on the property that are ideal if one needs a beach break.I"d argue this was probably the best host we"be worked with. Communication is prompt and he does al in his power so the experience is perfect.The nearby restaurant is very good, and the 10 min gold cart tide to Coco was fun for the kids too. Convenient groceries and shoppes all in Coco, so one can get all the need rather quickly.And if you love seafood -- there is a fish market only about a 4 min golf cart ride away and the selection is top notch.

A wonderful stay

We spent a wonderful 9 nights in this nicely appointed, beautifully located condo. I was very surprised at the variety of snorkeling gear that was made available, plus copious amounts of other nice beach gear available to us. This spot is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, but very close to Coco when you want to go in for a little night life. There was plenty of cookware for us to enjoy the fresh fish and other meats available at the local markets, something this semi-foodie family loved.

Great location, great vacation

Thank you Mark and Cheryl for opening up your condo, this has been one of my best vacations. This is my first time to Costa Rica and I’ll definitely be returning. Loved the people, the culture, the food, the weather and exploring the various sitesYour condo was very comfortable and has everything one could possibly need. mark provided great information and quick response to any questions I had. It made getting established a lot easier.Your recommendations to use Memo to book any adventures was great advice, especially liked the river tour. Visited a number of beaches and Ocotal is still one of my favourites and probably the best so far for snorkelling. Heading home with great memories.I’m going to miss the early mornings and sunsets on the Lanai, you never get tired of the view especially at sunset.Looking forward to returning.Pura Vida
