2/10 Poor

Booked through Expedia and property was closed. Closes at 9pm and didn't answer their phone between 830-9pm. Charged for a room that we couldn't use. Zero communication from this place. They don't care and Expedia doesn't care.

Rooms were clean and modern, good shower and bathroom facilities, with a view for sunrise and wonderful terrace for sunset viewing over pacific. Staff were friendly courteous and helpful, breakfast was delicious and the pool overlooking valleys on both pacific and mountain sides was an incredible place to rest and relax! All for an excellent deal as well!

4/10 Fair

No shower, good view
Bed was comfortable, view was great, but stay was unpleasant overall. For the considerable price, no help with luggage. Remote location on dirt road. Mosquitos in room. Loud groaning air conditioner. Weak breakfast of fruit, bottled juice, unseasoned eggs and plain toast woth no butter or jam. They could not break a $100 bill. Worst, we got no shower but a trickle of cold water. No apology or compensation. Don't come here.

Terrific staff and a stunning location made for a relaxing stay at this 5 room hotel. Their fish tacos washed down with a Ginger Zinger are a must try!

Wonderful Hotel! Loved staying there!
This was one of the best hotels we've stayed while visiting Costa Rica. This hotel is privately owned by John & Janet and they were amazing hosts. The breakfast in the morning was incredible. The on-site resturant was amazing. Shout out to both Geiner and Yuly who made our stay great. We loved our room and watching the wildlife every morning right outside our balcony. I would highly recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very Good

Three Night Stay
Beautiful spot with nice, comfortable rooms. There was a sloth hanging out the first day. Nice pool! AC! The owner John is a really good and cool guy, I liked his company. The only negative- I booked a three night stay and came to find out the second day, the kitchen was closed. The property is remote and not easy to access food. I was aggravated enough by it where I booked transportation the for next day and left early.

La Alma de Ojochal is a lovely boutique hotel! We stayed for four nights and enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed a live show with Ken and John and a live show performed by Shorty Hills while we were there. The room was comfortable (the bed was heavenly) and the newly remodeled bathrooms were gorgeous! Our favorite spot was the balcony where we enjoyed a serenade by 8 toucans 15 meters away. Scarlet Macaws cruised in the early morning and a lot of other beautiful bird species entertained us. The breakfast by José was AMAZING and our friend Alan made sure we were taken care of. The pool area is beautiful. The owner, John, is kind and welcoming. I would give him an A as a host. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him. He is also an EXTREMELY talented musician! We live in San Mateo, CR, and have traveled extensively throughout the country. La Alma de Ojochal is our new home away from home in the Southern Zone! We will be back! Thank you John, Janet and staff for a wonderful experience! 😘❤️

Cozy, super clean, amazingly comfortable
We were honored to be Alma Ojochal's first guests since the pandemic. John and Janet received us with open arms (or elbows actually, since we maintained social distancing). We were there for 1 night, but it was fabulous. Each room has a balcony with ocean view. The bed and pillow were extremely comfortable. Pool area was awesome! Looking forward next time to catch one of their live music shows
