Breakfast was convenient and delish; enjoyed the food being made for us. The glamping experience was wonderful, it was SO NEAT. It was in a great area - walking distance to Ocotal beach and the beachfront had a wonderful restaurant: Father Rooster. We had a vehicle, driving into Cocoa beach which was about a 10 min drive was awesome too.

Good place away from restaurants and hustle bustle , need to have a car to move around .Close to the beach. Breakfast was Ok , same every day .

Did see ants in the room I guess because of where it’s located in between the plants.

First day was a nightmare, the top room was given and all I can say it was terrible as all the animals came out and started to make noise and going over domes . Couldn’t sleep at all , scared to even get out as it’s dark and there is no phone in the room to contact the reception. Keep in mind reception is only till 9 pm.

Next morning they were able to switch us to the bottom dome and it was better but the small ants were every where. I guess the way it’s built , just keep that in mind if you are ok with

One more thing property is located right beside the road and a lot of traffic early morning you hear and late evening so if you are a light sleeper then it could impact your sleep.

Overall not bad .

Our unit was located right next to the road which was very noisy at most hours. Our room had no hot water. The front desk lady tested it but would not admit that we had no hot water. I insisted that we did not. She told us that someone would come to check it out but no one did. The next day it was confirmed we had no hot water. I told her we wished to leave and asked for a refund because of this and she said there are no refunds. I tried to contact the owners and hotel.com but no one would help me. We left and now I’m disputing the charge with my credit card company. This place sucks. The plastic dome smells horrible and is 100x worse during the hot sun. It smelled poisonous inside. The AC blows down on the bed and smells as well. I say sleeping in your car would be better than at this place. Less smelly, too.

The property was great - the glamping dome had everything we needed for a short stay, and everything in good condition. There's a small fridge, shelving space, tea and coffee facilities, a tv, and bathroom with shower. The dome got really hot during the day, but the AC cooled the place down pretty quickly, so it wasn't an issue. The space outside on the deck was great - two loungers and a small plunge pool to cool off. There was a small conscience store a 2 minute walk away, so great to buy some drinks/snacks and relax in your private space. Breakfast was served each morning on a small patio area, and was good value, and prepared fresh. The property is also a 10 minute walk from the beach, so easy to access.

The proximity of the property to Ocotal beach was great- just a short walk. The dome are accessed through a few or a number of short stair cases that are built into the hillside nestled in the trees making the bird watching on the loungers or in the soaker pool phenomenal. The rooms were comfortable making the best use of the space. The air conditioner worked very well to the point that we were chilly in the middle of the night- a first on a trip down south. The breakfast was included which consisted of eggs (made to order), rice and beans and sausage complemented with fresh fruit- papaya, watermelon, pineapple. There’s also coffee, juice, tea, toast, jams and cereals available. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Everything was new and fresh. The bed was nice and comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful. Air conditioning was a big asset. So was the plung pool. We felt spoiled.
Not to discourage anybody, but there are a lot of steps. The breakfast was traditional. I would definitely come back.

We loved our 10 day stay in our little yurt. It was spotlessly clean, cozy and comfortable. The deck and plunge pool were a nice respite after a hot day at the beach. The staff were all friendly and worked hard to make our stay memorable. Breakfast made fresh for us every morning, was much appreciated. Thank you!

Room had a very strong smell of chemical/plastic, AC mounted above the bed dripped water onto us and the breakfast was terrible and the fruit was gone after 15 minutes of opening.
Also there's no room anywhere to open up a suitcase because of the round design.
The only view you have out from the globe is your tiny patio, no nature or anything.

The private plunge/tiny pool was lovely though.

Would not return or recommend

Cute and nice breakfast. Parking lot is a bit of a challenge. Also would be hard to climb all the stairs for those with mobility issues. Personal pool is neat but it wasn’t clean. Staff is friendly.

The dome yurts are just fine, very clean, but the location is very noise from road traffic throughout the night.

It is a convenient location, about a 5-minute walk to Ocotal Beach, which is very nice and not overcrowded. The staff are very friendly and helpful. However, there are a couple of red flags. The property is not suitable for elderly people due to the many steep stairs. The parking area is very small, making it challenging to park a car.

The main concern is the house dome, which is made of plastic. There is a very strong plastic odor inside, which could be a health concern. Because of this smell, it is impossible to stay inside for any length of time.

Staff is awesome, location is great, close to Ocotal! The room is ok, but there was a strong smell of mildew. There was also an infestation of ants, of course you have to expect ants, it is Costa Rica, but be aware if you don’t like bugs, there are a lot!

Overall, would probably return, but maybe in an apartment instead of a dome tent, which got pretty noisy early in the morning!
