Excelente hotel
El hotel es hermoso, perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar del sonido del mar.
El personal del hotel es sumamente amable y atento en todo sentido.
La playa al frente del hotel no es una playa apta para estar pero playa San Juanillo que queda a solo 15 minutos en auto es preciosa.
Solo un detalle no relacionado al hotel en si, tener en cuenta que la calle no está en las mejores condiciones y es recomendado usar un carro alto.

Fantastic Place to Stay! 😀
My husband and I stayed here for 10 days on our first visit to Costa Rica. Azul Ocean Hotel was awesome! All the staff were amazing and so friendly! Being right on the ocean was like a dream come true! The pool was fantastic and so relaxing! All the grounds and rooms were so clean and maintained. My husband used the fitness room daily. I enjoyed relaxing on the beds listening to the ocean. The black sand beach was beautiful and we loved going there daily. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! Our daughter who lives in Nosara came to visit and stayed at the hotel for a few days in a suite. The food was great! If I had to suggest one thing, it would be if they could offer desserts at the restaurant…I have a sweet tooth 😊. I highly recommend this hotel! 😊

Beautiful, relaxing resort
We loved our stay at Azul Ocean Club. It was very quiet and relaxing. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The pool is wonderful, and there are many comfortable spots to lounge. The waves in the ocean are a little rough for swimming, but would be great for boogie boarding. The beach is very private and beautiful. Room was very comfortable.

Disappointed. Road to get there are treacherous.
Phone to room is not connected. Cannot call front desk. The Safe in our room … batteries expired after putting our passports and valuables in and could not get into the safe. No one at front desk. Called via WhatsApp. No message Center. Had to email. Still no response. Had to find someone to open it. Spoiled our day trip to see the Turtles migration in Ocional . Missed this once in a year phenomenon. The whole reason we booked this location. No coffee table to place any drinks, coffee or a plate. Awkward. Never have seem this before. TV did not work. No refund or expression of empathy. Manager would not allow later check out time even after all of this hassle. Very difficult to get to. Roads are treacherous. Grounds are lush. Only nice part. Never again. Ever.

Exceptional Retreat In Paradise
Beautifully designed and maintained boutique property on the ocean. Expansive sandy beach great for walking and exploring with exquisite sunsets. Pool is wonderful if surf is up. Nearby reef protected beaches for calm swimming minutes away. Food and service is top notch. Definitely will return.

Es mas que todo para parejas
El hotel es un lugar pequeño y acogedor. Es mas que todo como para parejas, no hay mucho entretenimiento dentro de las instalaciones. Si es cierto que tienen mesa de ping pong y pool ademas de piscinas que tampoco son muy grandes. Lo mejor fueron las camas amacas (camacas) que estan disponibles y se puede dormir tranquilo. La playa no es apta para bañarse y la arena es negra. Hay mas que todo gente pescando que bañandose. Las olas son encontradas en las playas y es peligroso para niños o gente que no sepa nadar.
