Hotels near Playa Ostional

"Very expensive... 35$ usd lunch buffet and 9$ waters. Pay for the sauna and for 450$ a night you get 1 free yoga class. Pilates is separate. Would stay close to beach for half the price and walk to yoga is a better play "

"Gorgeous setting, incredible sunsets, friendly staff. We loved looking out from our balcony or the infinity pools onto the bioreserve jungle below. We had an upper floor room (#9) right next to a tree that regularly had birds and howler monkeys coming through. Very peaceful. Spacious room. The food and drinks are at US resort-level prices, and there are no other places to eat within a 15-minute walk, so plan accordingly. The shuttle into town works well for daytime beach visits or lunch out, but the last shuttle back is at about 4:30 so if you stay in town for dinner you need to take a tuck-tuk back (uber not available here)."

"parking was easy. Staff was amazing, so friendly and they helped set up excursions with locals. The communication before hand was sketchy, but once I got there they made several calls to help set up excursions and they even told us about the turtles arriving at a nearby beach! We did not have water pressure for some reason on the last day so we couldn't take a shower. Two shower heads squirted water out over the top off the shower and one handle was coming off. We didn't really care, more of an FYI. The shower is out in the open, which we knew from the pictures, but just be aware. The staff doesn't arrive until 12;00 PM. So if you need something early you will have to just wait. the beach is just a staircase away, and amazing and quiet. Anything remotely not perfect was just part of the experience in my opinion and a matter of your perspective. Well worth the trip."

"Great breakfast and very friendly staff nice property and nice room layout. Very close to the two main beaches"

"The property is beautiful and the location is great for exploring the north side of town. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself could use a refresh. It is for sale so I suspect that will not happen until it has a new owner. My only real issue was lack of table space in the rooms to place keys, books, sunglasses, etc. Hotel services are limited. The coffee/juice bar didn’t open until around 9 a.m. So early risers need to go out (there are espresso pods available in the main shared space). Not a big deal as there are plenty of places nearby. No laundry service available. You have to go to the full service Super Wash a few buildings down. That wasn’t great as many pieces of clothing went missing. All in all it is a really nice spot. It could be great with just a few extra touches."

"De todos los hoteles que he visitado, no sabia lo que realmente era relajarse hasta que visite Azul Hotel. A mi familia le gusto mucho. Pensamos volver algun dia."

"Outstanding staff. Gave us great local recommendations and very attentive. Bungalows are clean, but simple. The property is outside the main tourist spots, but the beaches close by are even better."

"The room was wonderful and bright. The staff did an amazing job at cleaning it and keeping it fresh. the entirety of the gilded iguana staff was kind and helpful. the breakfast was delicious and there was a variety of good eat options. the whole resort was well air conditioned and we never felt hot for a second while in our room. The kids club is amazing and the pool is pristine and the perfect temperature. and it is only a five minute walk away from a stunning beach. i definitely recommend the gilded iguana."

"Beautiful property, clean, modern, well maintained. Will be back!"
