The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious and well laid out condo. We took full advantage of the well equipped kitchen and rooftop terrace with fantastic views of the ocean and monkeys playing in the trees. We were a short walk from the beach and a short drive from Play Coco and the black sand beach of Ocotal. There are several fantastic restaurants within easy walks and drives. We also visited a couple of the national parks and waterfalls also all within an easy drive. We took full advantage of the concierge are were impressed with the recommendations. This property will not disappoint! ##### Kristy L. ### 8/10 Good #### nancymills m., New Zealand 12 Jun 2018 #### Great condo, area a bad choice Condo was perfect except for the CR problem of no toilet paper in toilet. Strongly suggest owner invest in diaper or sanitary containers. This area has no town, a small grocery store, few restaurants, beach without waves, so next time we’d go somewhere else for these reasons. However, I cannot fault the accommodation. ##### nancymills m. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Hotels in Gran Canaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gran-Canaria-Hotels-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d6047134-tmountainhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Resort Agios Nikolaos Sivota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Igoumenitsa-Hotels-Domotel-Agios-Nikolaos-Suites-Resort.h658513.Hotel-Information) > > [Waldorf Astoria Orlando - An Official Walt Disney World® Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Waldorf-Astoria-Orlando.h2432727.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Dublin Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Dublin.h41110254.Hotel-Information) > > [Bernini Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Bernini-Palace.h13999.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Intrepids Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Intrepids-Tented-Camp.h4233348.Hotel-Information) > > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels.d553248634335196573.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Calis Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Calis-Beach-Apartments.h45020369.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Barcelo.0-0-d178279--bBarcelo.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Sola (SVG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/svg/london-to-stavanger) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottish-Exhibition-And-Conference-Centre-Glasgow-Westend.d6081505.Attraction) > > [Antalya Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya.d481.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Altrincham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Altrincham.dx5856)
