Ojochal is a small village by the sea and has all the elements you would find in a touristy area.
Fast becoming a year round gastronomical mecca, Ojochal is a welcoming, open-minded, live in your shorts and flip-flops kinda town. And, Hotel Lookout is a perfect staging area for a vacation in the South. With the Corcovado National Park and Drake Bay to the South, Isla Garza, Rio Terraba, Playa Tortuga and Cano Island in front of the hotel, and more incredible beaches to the North, activity choices are limitless.
Regarding gastronomy, let’s get spicy. Lookout’s new Salsa Restaurant will feature the cuisine from Mexico and Central America. From the delights of the Oaxacan moles, spices of Veracruz, and the favorites from Costa Rica, you should make this a regular stop.
Fresh fish, patacones, chicken flautas, tortilla soup, chopped salad, pulled pork tacos, and chicken with Pipián sauce. And, did we mention the Margarita menu? When was the last time you had a hot pepper margarita?
The freshness carries through to the guestrooms.
Visitors will enjoy crisp new linens, fresh amenities, picturesque artwork, and comfortable beds. Nestled on a hill above Playa Tortuga, Lookout visitors enjoy relatively constant ocean breezes. Relax and enjoy a margarita as you gently sway in your hammock beneath the ancient Mango Tree. It is time to revisit the legend that is Hotel Lookout.
