This was our 3rd visit to Los Almendros and plan on returning again. The office staff and dive shop staff are great - they make you feel like part of the community. The short distance to Father Rooster, the beach, and town makes this a great place to spend some time. We suggest this location if you are looking for... More

We stayed at Unit #42 and felt fortunate to have such a complete home away from home. Everything we needed was right there. We loved staying at Los Almendros for several reasons: The short walk to the beach was perfect. On the return, we could stop at the pools and shower off before walking in to the condo. We loved...

We have been visiting the Playa Hermosa and Playa Ocotal areas of Costa Rica for the last 8 years, and have stayed in many of the local hotels and B&Bs. When we found Los Almendros 6 years ago, we knew this was THE place for us. The location right on the beach overlooking the sea is truly unique in the... More

Ocotal is a surprisingly quiet beach in an excellent location. Los Almendros is a collection of condos right on the beach. They are privately owned, with an excellent rental system. Most units have multiple bedrooms, are well-furnished, and reasonably priced. We have returned many times and will continue.

We are just finishing our eleventh winter at Los Almendros and are looking forward to coming back next year again. With all our travelling in Costa Rica, this is the place we like the best. Our villa is very comfortable, close to the main pool with a great view of the sea. Los Almendros is in close proximity to good... More

Los Almendros is located in a beautiful spot, right by the beach. Condo we stayed at (#30) does not have comfortable place to sit on, bare bones accomodations, worn furniture, no Internet connection. The grounds at Los Almendros should be improved. It looks old and needs a face lift. It is overrated. Be cautious of the exaggerated advertisements.

Los Almendros de Ocotal is an absolutely wonderful place, private, hidden in the trees, overlooking the black sand beach. We stayed in Villa 19, which provides spectacular views of the bay, lush green hills and islands. The two-story villa has three bedrooms, two baths, a great room and large covered porch. One of three quiet pools is situated just out... More

What a comfortable quiet clean place. The young lady Stephanie was most gracious and helpful. If you want to stay in abeautiful setting with a complete kitchen this is the place. You are far enough from the city to enjoy the serenity.

We loved our stay in Costa Rica and Los Almendros was a perfect place for home base. We had a fun filled vacation with friends, and made new friends along the way! The condo owners were extremely helpful in recommending places for groceries, including a local farmer's market where we bought fresh papaya and other wonderful fruit and vegetables. The... More
