El Ocotal Hotels

"It was an incredible experience. Amazing staf, great rooms, food was almost great (but I'm a very spoiled customer, lol)"

"Clean room, friendly staff, outdoor pool/bar area is really nice! Super close to airport (2 minute drive) and free shuttle."

"Many of the rooms on this property have zero view of the garden/ocean. We were a big group and booked 4 rooms with each of us paying for a garden view. Two of the rooms we were alloted had no view. Ours faced the parking lot and one of the other room had their balcony facing another balcony. They should not be advertising these rooms as garden view. Its false advertising and misleading. "

"The negatives: The only option to eat was the restaurant, nowhere else delivered so we had to eat there. We had very poor service at the restaurant and the food was not good and very expensive for what it was. After we ate it took about 30 minutes just to get the bill. The hotel room was fine but I found it too expensive. The positives were the check in staff were very nice. It was nice they held our luggage when our room wasn’t ready yet, and the shuttle was great. "

"Miss the à la cart restaurants. Riu’s are better than buffets in all restaurants but one. "

"Great beach. Coarse shell sand but still ok on bare feet. Not overly busy and right off the resort. Waves not really big enough to boogie board on but good for smaller kids to play. Pool is very nice with lots of lounging areas. Entertainment area with pool tables, ping pong and fooseball - great for kids/teens. Spacious and quiet rooms with great amenities. Animals on the resort are a highlight (iguanas, monkeys, raccoons). Food was excellent with nice variety and good quality. Staff was helpful and friendly. No complaints other than our check in was very slow."

"Yes there and kept families engaged "

"Buen lugar para hospedarse, alimentación balanceada, servicios de alimentación según las Necesidades"

"Our family had a great time at RIU Palace. The staff is amazing! We made many new friends there!"
