Ojochal Gardens

Stayed at Ojochal Gardens Villas for two weeks in February. It was absolutely PERFECT. I stayed solo in Villa Turquesa, the smallest (and least expensive) of the villas. It was MUCH roomier than I had expected. Two bedrooms, each with a full bathroom. Lovely, large open-air front room. Well-stocked kitchen. The grounds themselves are gorgeous. The pool was amazing, and I'd say I was the only one using it about 85% of the time. It was much like having my own private swimming pool. Breakfast at Potz bistro is included, and all of the breakfasts I had there were excellent. Also many very good restaurants in the area. Citrus was pricey, but worth every penny. Stan's Cafe was a regular go-to spot. Try the poutine! (And this is coming from a Canadian). Finally, the staff at Ojochal Gardens (particularly Mariana at reception) were absolutely wonderful. Warm, welcoming, always checking in to see if I needed anything. It was a very relaxing place for a vacation. Highly, highly recommended.

Ojochal Gardens was a wonderful place to stay. I stayed in the brand new section. It was clean, well taken care of by it's staff. I enjoyed my morning coffee which was provided in the room as I sat on my balcony . Mariana was exceptional to deal with the pre-trip arrangements and while we stayed at the hotel. Very helpful and made my stay easy. So were our drivers, Maurizio and Castro. They were so nice and friendly as well as, couldn't be more accommodating by getting my group from place to place. I enjoyed the restaurant, Pots every morning. The food was delicious and the staff was terrific and helpful. Played pickleball almost every day and that was a walk within the Ojochal Gardens facility/ strip of stores. Secluded and yet easy to get to the beach and other activities. The scientist at Corcovada, Edgar was so passionate & enthusiastic. He was captivating. The other facility called Oxygen had great food and Roxy provided an incredible 90 minute massage in a rainforest atmosphere. The only negative that I can think of my was my room did not have a safe in it to hold my valuables. It could have been because it was very newly opened for guests. That wouldn't stop me from staying there again. I loved my time there, and Costa Rica... Pura vida

Our Pickleball Retreat at Ojochal Gardens was an amazing experience! The combination of our beautiful villas, fun activities like snorkeling, jungle hikes, sunset cruises, and beach going made a perfect getaway. Plus, their outstanding staff, especially our dedicated driver Maurizio, contributed significantly to our overall enjoyment.
