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!
