Calle Perezoso , 60102 Ojochal, Costa Rica –

Lock in a great price for Alma de Ojochal – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

This place is such a treat! The view and sound of the ocean surf are outstanding. Great place to watch the sunset. John, the owner is a musician and his restaurant, the Bamboo Room, is well known for great food, vibe, and superb live music. We are relocating to the area and will be back often!

Robert, United States of America

Beautiful spot up on a mountain nestled in the jungle. A bit of a rough ride to get to the hotel (4 wheel drive highly recommended) but that was part of the experience. The Bamboo room attached to the hotel adds to the experience and draws some very good local expat musicians. Looking forward to another stay when we are in the area!

Ross, United States of America

Delightful, helpful owners. Room was spacious, clean and view from patio spectacular. Swimming pool relaxing after long day of travel.

Lawrence, United States of America

Alma de Ojochal is wonderful and magical. The breakfast is so delicious and enjoyable with views of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other, The evening live entertainment is fantastic and the food is great. We especially love the filet with home made mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy and also the fall off the bone chicken. Not to mention the home made ice cream. And for something light, they have great fish tacos and margaritas!!!! Can't say enough about how we love this place!!!

Denise, United States of America

Too much fun! The Bamboo Room has entertainment every night except Sunday and we took full advantage. The owner (John) is a great musician and has many musician friends that are equally amazing. If you like music and incredible views, you will love this place. It is in a very safe area. Make sure you have AWD/4WD as the road up to the hotel requires it. But once you get to the top of the world, you will be happy you made the trek. Ojachal is a special place that has some kind of magical feeling and this place shares all of that and more! The locals that come to the Bamboo Room at night are so friendly you feel like you've known them your whole life. Unforgettable. If you don't like music and friendly fun people, this place may not be for you.

Timothy, United States of America

The views are exceptional as is the food and entertainment!

Timothy, United States of America

View is gorgeous. The staff is helpful and very friendly. And the food at the restaurant is terrific. To top it off, the restaurant bar has live music often.

Terry, United States of America

Owners and employees were fabulous. Food was great. View is amazing. Bar is fun with live music. The pool is serene and beautiful. The king suite is very big with a large patio and great view. Air conditioning and two ceiling fans. More beautiful and welcoming than photos can show. The breakfast was amazing with good options for everyone. They are very accommodating

Julie, United States of America

The owners Janet and John took us in like family. It was mine and my wife's 30th anniversary and they provided free drinks when we arrived and met them, and at supper at The Bamboo Room they presented us with a free brownie in a bowl with "Happy 30th Anniversary" written in chocolate syrup

Bryan, United States of America

The room was nicely appointed with a great king bed, large deck comfortable seating with a beautiful sea view!

Nothing negative at all - the entire experience surpassed our expectations!
A fantastic boutique hotel, all the food was exceptional, the staff were very friendly, approachable and attentive. John and Janet were the consummate hosts that genuinely cared and ensured that we had a fantastic holiday. Could not recommend this hotel more if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing get-away, that allows you to ramp it up a little at night if you want at the Bamboo room with amazing live music, food and views of the ocean - simply stunning!! We will be back.....

Some of the rooms needed updating. The showers were kind of funky with the water pressure. We found ants in our first room. They were kind enough to move us to a different room.
