Everything worked fine,beds were comfortable, AC worked well. In general we were satisfied. Parking was a little tight.Close to a little convenience store and pizza place.Close to things we wanted to see and do.

The host made sure the apartment was in excellent condition, very clean, tidy and with lots of cooking and resting utensils. There should be cable TV or something like that and at the entrance there should be a person focused on customer service, because that guard is terrible at serving. In general, what has to do with the apartment, well, although it does not have a fixed parking space, you have to wait for one to be available to move the car and if everything is full you have to leave it overnight on the street or in another nearby parking lot. They did not explain to us anywhere that they are apartments where people already live and that they have positioned the spaces as fixed. Too many rules to go to the pool, you feel scolded and you don't even want to get in.

I communicated with Ruslan (one of the two hosts) during my stay. First of all, Ruslan rescued me with this booking when my previously booked apartment suddenly flooded around 1am. He responded right away and provided the unit and lockbox number so I could get all my belongings to safety. I appreciated this so much!! Ruslan was very quick to respond any other time I reached out as well. A+ host! The apartment itself was just as described. The bed was so comfortable (I only used the master bedroom), the kitchen had everything i needed to cook my own meals. Lots of closet space, AC units in every room. My stay was top notch :) The gated apartment complex has a lovely pool, where i tanned and swam every day. it's easy to find, and i got a FAB massage right next door. It's a 15 min walk to the main strip so it's easy to walk but a much quieter area. I felt safe and well taken care of. thanks so much, Ruslan!

The room is just as described. A quiet area near downtown, the place is nice, everything in the house works perfectly. I would recommend or use this accommodation again in Coco

Cocomarindo is a lovely gated community with excellent security and an amazing pool. Landscaping and pool maintenance is in evidence everyday keeping the grounds immaculate and beautiful and pool clean and sparkling. Ravil is the best host and so responsive. The unit is extremely clean and everything in working order. If there was an issue Ravil resolved it asap. (For example the toaster blew and he showed up the next day with a replacement!). The location of the condo is near the road, which can be noisy but we were not bothered while inside the condo which had AC in every room. It can get pretty hot on the balcony in the afternoon, so Ravil put up a curtain across to block the direct sun and this helped. We couldn't have asked for a better host. Pura Vida!

Ravil was a great host, and was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We had not stayed in Costa Rica at an air bnb before and didn’t know how to figure out locations or addresses to book transportation. Ravil gave us clear directions so we had no problems finding the place. The community is gated and secure. The security guards were very helpful and always attentive. The condo and all the amenities were so thoughtful and felt just like a home. It was nice to have chairs for the pool, a kettle for tea and an iron and hairdryer if we needed to use them. The beds were comfortable and the A/C worked great. The gardens and pool area were beautiful. The condo was close to the beach and a short walk from the main road and shops.

Our family loved our stay in Cocomarindo! The pool was huge, and had many different areas, including a sloped entry area that was perfect for young children. Even though there were usually people in the pool, it never felt crowded. It was also only a short walk to the beach, with nice sand and gentle waves. The condo is close to the front of the complex and we found being off of the parking lot handy for unloading/loading the car, as we saw many people having to used trolleys to bring their items to units further in. The parking lot is small (and the spaces are tight), but we were always able to get a spot inside the gate when we arrived back before sunset. There were a few small issues when we first arrived and Ravil responded quickly and stopped by early the next morning to take care of things. Ravil was extremely friendly, provided clear instructions ahead of our stay, and it’s clear he cares about guests having a great stay at his condo. We would definitely stay here again!

a perfect place we feel at home. The pool is huge, everything is nearby. You can walk there is a bakery, the coconut beach is super close by. The supermarket that is outside has excellent prices. I would say that just like in San José, all the amenities for a pleasant stay, in a car you can go to someone who is about 10 minutes away or to the beautiful beach that is about 15 minutes away, it was definitely worth each paid colon, definitely wanting to come back, go without fear, it is worth it.

Nice place to stay in Playa Coco. The appartment is spacious and safe parking. The pool was great and clean! People staying and working were friendly. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The appliciances such as kettle, blender etc., were really dirty. They were kept in boxes above the cupboards. Maybe they haven't been used in a while. Communicating with Ravil was easy and fast. We could come earlier and use the pool and parking before checking in. We had an enjoyable time!

Nice apartment in safe condo complex. Unit had everything as described and pictured. Host was responsive and allowed us to store our bags for a few hours before check-in time. The pool in the complex is nice - there aren't loungers and pool chairs, but the apartment had outdoor chairs that were easy enough to carry to the pool for a few hours. The beach is a short walk away, and again the apartment had some beach chairs in the closet that were perfect to carry to the beach. We found the beach to be good swimming, very calm water. The location is a 15 minute walk into the "downtown" area with restaurants and stores - the walk on the roads is a bit hot and dusty, walking on the beach was preferable. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

The apartment itself was fine, but Cocomarindo didn’t leave a great taste in my mouth. Nothing too special in the apartment but nothing too important missing and everything working reasonably well. The apartment is not near the pool, actually almost the furthest one. The problem I had wasn’t with the host but the condo complex. I didn’t feel welcome arriving at all, I felt like I was the nuisance coming to the community rather that a guest coming to stay on a holiday. There is a long list of strict rules that are pointed to you and repeated sternly to you by the security. There’s also just different rules posted on signs everywhere. For example no food of drinks within 1m of the pool. They have a nice swim up bar, but technically you’re not allowed to drink anything on it, altho security did allow this after asking. This is quite normal rule, but also inconvenient since there really isn’t any seating available at the pool at all, no loungers, just a couple of bar stools.

This place worked out great for our short stay in Coco. It was a bit of a walk to the main stops, but that was expected. The neighborhood actually had a mini mart with a few items and Maple Connection Cafe just down the road was great for coffee and breakfast. The road noise was LOUD and went late on the weekends and I had trouble drowning it out to sleep… the fan helped, but could have used one for the other room as well. The pool was nice to use after a long hot day. Kitchen had everything we needed and the place was clean. Security was a little difficult to check in with, but it went fine overall and it was nice to have a little extra safety with our vehicle and such.

Strongly will suggest you consider if you really want to stay there ! The place in the photo looks very different from what you will see when you in ! There is no peace ✌️! Very noisy, dogs barks all night , the chickens in the morning making so much noice , the noice from the road and feels unsafe . The bedding was dirty , the bathroom was unusable. The chairs in the dining area was unpleasant to seat on , we had no choice but live that place first thing in the . Thanks to other people’s recommendations on visiting Costa Rica on the budget we took with us two sets of bedding which we used to stay that night at that place ! The toilet Seat was covered in someone else pop…. Really unpleasant and not very professional , after making complaints to airbandb host turn up on the door step and make unnecessary comments and excuses.

Host Response

I am very curious, why you review is the only negative one in two years? Maybe because most of it is a lie, because you were just having a bad day? Consider it, and be kind to the world, its worth it)

We just spent three weeks at Ravils place and we miss it already! The pool and the proximity to the beach were fabulous. Playa del coco is such a great walkable town with friendly locals and lots to do. The place was clean, having access to laundry machines was amazing, and the security guard was very kind. We felt right at home and it was the perfect base camp for all our adventures. Ravil was very kind and helpful and we appreciated everything he did to make our stay so amazing!

The place was equipped with everything, super clean and clean. The A/C's worked perfectly. Close to Playa El Cocal, with many restaurants where you can have a good time. It is located within a fenced residential area. Ravil is very attentive and helped us with an issue that was presented to us (which is not related to the accommodation). After a day at the beach there is nothing like a dip in the pool. I think the location is strategic. From there we went to La Leona, Playa Conchal and Tamarindo, in addition to Playa El Cocal itself.

We loved our stay at Ravil’s place. We stayed from January 22 to March 25. It was clean and comfortable. The balcony was nice to sit on especially in the early morning to enjoy a cup of coffee or in the evening to enjoy a night cap before bed. It was close to the beach and a 10 minute walk to town. The grounds at Cocomarindo are immaculately kept. The property was very beautiful with lush flowering shrubs, various species of mature palm trees that surrounds a huge pool. Cocomarindo was a safe place with an on duty guard with a controlled entrance. We met so many new friends that we will definitely connect with in the future. It was a wonderful community to be a part of for 2 months. Ravil was a very attentive and gracious host. He catered to all of our needs. He was quick to respond to our texts. He even picked us up at the airport. We very much enjoyed our stay at Ravil’s place and would recommend it to anyone.
