Top Playa Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ocotal B&B

Hotel Ocotal B&B

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was very nice, and the place was clean, but the room was very small and noisy. The price was right and it was fine for one night before our flight. The hotel is set on a hill quite a ways from Coco Beach town and there is not much around. Outside of the main road, Coco is a bit ratty for being a tourist town."

Hotel Pura Vista

10/10 Excellent
"This place is amazing. We were sad that we only had one night here as we could have stayed for a week. The hotel is small - 6-8 rooms perched above the bay. The pool also overlooks the water and was such a treat to cool off from the heat. Mark is an excellent host and was incredibly helpful. The rooms were brilliantly laid out, modern, and comfortable. The small beach is about a 10-15 minute walk down the hill and lovely."

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good
"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

Impressively designed and decorated 3rd-floor space overlooking pool in Coco

10/10 Excellent
"The unit was located inside a condo area, gated, with 4 separate pools and a daytime restaurant. It was extremely nice. No elevators, so request a main floor if ADA is needed. The units are very near downtown and the beach (about 3/4 mile away, so walkabale). We did use Uber, which was available most times if needed. The resort at the beach connected to these units was amazing. Basically $44/day per person, but 30 of that goes to food/drinks. And they provide a shuttle back and forth multiple times a day. The RR's in our unit were really good as was the stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook on your own including an electric grill on the patio."

Spacious One-Bedroom Condo with Pool View, Balcony & Beach Club Access

10/10 Excellent
"The property is gorgeous with 4 pools and great landscaping. It’s the perfect place to relax. It’s a 20 minute walk to the beach and other beaches are nearby. The two grocery stores near the entrance are a bonus. The condo had a well appointed kitchen although we never used it. The check in process worked very well. Communication with the staff before the stay was great but not good after check in which is our only complaint. We would definitely stay here again."
