beautiful little hotel with an amazing sea view. located about 300 meters from the beach, much more quiet than the huge l'ocotal resort in the bay. rooms are very spacious with great showers and beds, very relaxed. breakfast on the porch in company of three parrots,suzy being the one to never shut up, constant source of amusement. the receptionist is very helpful as well.

ocotal is a few minutes(four dollar cab ride) outside of playa del coco, much more quiet and relaxed though. going to coco beach is really only good for dinner and going to the supermarket.

if you are like us and you like scuba diving, you can take advantage of the dive shop at the resort down at the beach, two dives including equipment are about $100 per person, you get to see lots of stingrays, sea snakes, octopus and in between dives you'll see whales if you are lucky. highly recommended.

Our room was adequate, nothing special with a decent size bathroom, a/c, and was clean (ants in the bathroom though). The parrots at breakfast were very entertaining. The pool was great. Short walk to the beach and “Father Roosters” restaurant; short drive to the town. The owner was extremely helpful with accommodations, directions, suggestions on sightseeing and so on.

I had visited Casa Blanca 13 years prior, and had good memories of the B&B, and although the owner had changed, her hospitality was above and beyond.

Hotel Villa Casa Blanca is a secret that must be shared. The owner, Modesta, was of great help as we were constantly changing our arrival and departure day within a few days of each other. Gina works 7 days a week and provided the best service.
We booked an ocean view suite, but the trees in the distance block most of the view. The shower is massive, but the glass shower door didn't come in on time and we were stuck with a cheap curtain that fell a couple of times though it was fixed right away. The bathroom walls didn't connect to the ceiling, so there was a little bit of privacy issues with that, but it seems that all the other rooms had walls and doors to them. Other than that, the room was spacious, AC, writing desk, chairs for reading and large windows.
You can walk right to the beautiful Ocotal Beach from the hotel as well as to a few restaurants on the beach.
The wonderful thing about the hotel is the outdoor kitchen. They allowed us to use the refrigerator, all kitchen equipment, as well oils and spices. We ended up staying 8 days total because it was so peaceful.
I would say this is a place for independent travellers though Modesta can tell you anything about Costa Rica and help you book any tours or anything you need. I would suggest renting a car because there is so much to do in such a short drive.
We also had very inexpensive in-room massages, which were the best I've ever had!
