Expansive sandy beach great for walking and exploring with exquisite sunsets. Pool is wonderful if surf is up. Nearby reef protected beaches for calm swimming minutes away. Food and service is top notch. Definitely will return. ##### TIMOTHY Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaley Feb 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful, relaxing resort We loved our stay at Azul Ocean Club. It was very quiet and relaxing. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The pool is wonderful, and there are many comfortable spots to lounge. The waves in the ocean are a little rough for swimming, but would be great for boogie boarding. The beach is very private and beautiful. Room was very comfortable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0FCC9280487045A2A8712FCC63CE9CF324AD50091708109053907.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kaley Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory Jan 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you want the soundtrack of the surf in the background of your next stay then the venture to the Azul Ocean Club is worth the trip. A little off the paved path but well worth the adventure. The rooms are designed to enjoy the setting. The food is excellent, though a little pricey, and the beach is right there. ##### Gregory ### 8/10 Good #### Jean Mar 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was in a remote area. There was only a shuttle to a small town at 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. You had to pay if you wanted to go at any other time. It is not really walkable to anything. The staff was very pleasant however the serivce in the dining room was very slow. ##### Jean Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful gem of a resort ideal for total relaxation! Pros: beautiful location on the coast, well-appointed rooms, excellent staff, great dining. This is the perfect place to bring a couple books and spend languid days listening to the ocean. Cons: the resort is VERY far from everything over some tricky roads. It's no exaggeration that a 4X4 is a must- we were there during a long period of rain making travel and/or sightseeing treacherous. It is approximately an hour drive to Tamarindo, probably an hour and a half from the Guanacaste airport. ##### Edward Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alina Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beach is dirty, nobody cleans. The ocean is not suitable for swimming , waves and cold current. Mosquitos. Stuffy and humid. Nothing interesting to do. I booked the hotel because the breakfast was included. In reality they charged more than 50$ extra!!!!! Because they give you a menu to choose and you can choose one dish per person. For example, only eggs, or only pancake. But you cannot take eggs and pancake together))))) you will be charged extra. The most stupid conception I have ever seen. Disappointed. ##### Alina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joachim Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities T ##### Joachim Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Darian Aug 1, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Looks very dated.
