Azul Ocean Club
Experience the Blue Beach of Guanacaste
Azul Ocean Club, at Playa Azul in Guanacaste
Azul sits at Playa Azul, a quiet beach on the Guanacaste coast, with gardens running down toward the ocean. It suits couples and families who want space, a pool and the sound of the waves at night, well away from the busy beach towns.
The style is contemporary and calm, with modern interiors and big rooms, and the beach is the main entertainment.
Why we choose it
- Big rooms. Most rooms and suites are 70 square metres, which is a lot of space for a beach hotel, and welcome on a longer stay.
- Ocean or garden, your choice. The Ocean View rooms look out to sea, and the Garden rooms face the tropical gardens, where the birds come in the morning.
- A quiet stretch of coast. Playa Azul is a calm beach far from the crowds, and the hotel can be reached from either Liberia or San José airport.
Rooms and views
The Ocean View Superior and Ocean View Premium rooms, at 70 square metres, face the ocean. The Garden Superior and Garden Premium rooms are the same size and look onto the gardens.
The Deluxe Garden View rooms, at 25 square metres, are the simplest choice. For families, the Two Bedroom Garden Suite has 70 square metres, and the Ocean View Villa, over two floors, looks out to the sea and the gardens. Rooms have a TV, a phone, a safe and a hair dryer.
On the property
There is a pool and a Jacuzzi, a beach club, and a restaurant for long lunches in the shade. The hotel is close enough to the water that you hear the waves from the gardens.
Around Playa Azul we can arrange nature walks, horseback riding, snorkeling, kayaking and canopy tours.
Location and getting there
Azul is at Playa Azul on the coast of Guanacaste, with access from both Liberia and San José airports. Most of our clients fly into Liberia for the shorter drive, and we arrange the private transfer.
It is a good beach stop to pair with Arenal Volcano or Rincon de la Vieja.
