Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Nosara

This is truly the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at in my life. It felt like I had my own private mini mansion. Private pool for the rental, mostly glass walls made it feel like I was living in the jungle, Paulo was an incredible host and was very responsive, the list goes on and on, all of the amenities, even yoga mats waiting for us… If this place is in your budget, stay here!!!

We loved our stay at Quin! The manager was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. The house is beautiful and well equipped. Excellent location as well!

This is a brand new boutique hotel so parts were unfinished (like the spa though in-room spa services were available). We had a standard king room close to the pool. It’s comfortable with indoor/outdoor shower, plenty of closet space and a mini fridge. The outdoor space is quite small but we spent most of our time on the loungers at the pool area which is lovely. The management and staff are very welcoming and helpful.

We took a leap of faith by deciding to stay at a place so new that it has no reviews and that literally opened the day of our arrival. Thankfully, it paid off. At arrival we were greeted by the hotel owners Miriam and Jaime who were very excited to meet their first hotel guests. Their hospitality and attentiveness, as well as that of the hotel’s staff, throughout our long stay never wavered; going above and beyond. Our experience felt very personal and intimate. Also, it was very easy to communicate with them using the Esh Whatsapp number, and they arranged for us dinners and activities with local recommendations also. The Selva Suite Garden room was similar enough to the pictures with the exception of the private garden which seemed smaller than in the photos and not so private. We particularly liked the room vibe and design, the double outdoor rain showers and the closet space. As with any new operation there were kinks, but the Esh team handled any concerns we highlighted extremely well. Food at the hotel restaurant was good, with some dishes tasting better than others. We particularly liked the baja style fish taco, aguachile, and the grilled avocado salad. The spa and wellness center were not ready but we still did complimentary yoga in the mornings at the pool deck. There is a sauna however we did not use it. Overall, we had a pleasant and very personal stay at Esh thanks to the Esh team and we look forward to return in the future.

Nestled in the serene beauty of Nosara, Costa Rica, this boutique hotel is nothing short of a paradise. From the moment you step onto the property, you’re embraced by an atmosphere of pure zen and relaxation. The lush greenery, thoughtfully designed spaces, and peaceful ambiance make it an ideal vacation spot for anyone seeking a tranquil getaway. One of the standout features of this gem is Almar Restaurant. The food is nothing short of exquisite—a culinary experience with a Mexican flair of flavors. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast, a refreshing midday bite, or a candlelit dinner, every meal is a culinary delight. Not to mention the bar, has amazing drinks and cocktails. The service at Almar is equally impressive; the staff are warm, attentive, and go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional dining experience. Beyond the restaurant, the overall service at the hotel is unparalleled. Every member of the team radiates genuine kindness and hospitality, making you feel cared for and at home. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, practicing yoga in the peaceful surroundings, or simply soaking in the serene vibes, this boutique hotel embodies the ultimate relaxation retreat. If you’re dreaming of a zen-filled escape in Costa Rica, this is the place to be.

We went to this resort for our honeymoon. It is in the town of Nosara - a beach town that is approximately 5 hour drive from San Jose airport. We opted for small plane Green Airways on our return. Located off the beaten path, this resort is truly relaxing, quiet and beautiful. It opened 2 months prior to our stay, so everything looks brand new. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The multi level pool is clean and beautiful and the restaurant has an excellent menu. They arranged transportation via a side-by-side to the beaches: Playa Pelada, and Playa Guiones. Both beaches are beautiful. Overall, highly recommend it.

Husband and wife team, Jaime and Miriam, knocked the hotel out of the park! Esh is obviously stunningly designed, but it’s their gracious bright personalities that really make the hotel extra special. We loved lounging by the pool and got four solid nights of sleep. The entire staff is warm and friendly, especially Andres, the bar manager, who we thoroughly enjoyed talking to on multiple occasions. With unique events and wellness focused activities well under way, there’s no doubt Esh’s star will continue to shine. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

I love everything about Esh, it's an exceptional place. The staff provides outstanding service and creates an atmosphere of genuine warmth and hospitality. The food is exquisite, each dish clearly prepared with love and attention to detail. I'm a lover of rainy weather, and my husband also appreciates rainy days, we found the experience especially romantic, spent a quiet afternoon at the restaurant, sipping hot chocolate while watching the rain fall gently over the pool. It was a moment of calm and beauty that made our stay truly special.

Absolutely everything was amazing. The staff- super friendly, nice and open. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. They offer complimentary yoga classes- that are super nice. They have a sauna and an ice bath- which we very much enjoyed. The pools are very nice as well. Basically, one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Costa Rica. The location is also very nice. Plenty of beaches and restaurants nearby, and the location is very lively.

The hotel is tastefully and thoughtfully designed. From candles to incense in your room, you can see and feel the many eyes in details that this hotel exudes. I enjoyed waking up in the mornings to yoga and swimming in a beautiful pool. The surroundings are well maintained. It feels like a home away from home. Dinner is delicious, and the staff is welcoming and attentive.

The hotel is absolutely stunning - modern, new and the interiors and decor are to die for. The pool area made me want to stay all day there. My room had the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept in a long time! Great dining options - the gringa al pastor is a MUST!

Very friendly, attentive and responsive staff. Cozy and well-decorated room. Comfortable bed with high quality pillows and sheets. Pool area was really nice. The food was very good.

We loved our stay! We stayed in the family suite with the private pool and it was absolutely perfect. Its a short drive/walk/scoot to town which makes for a nice quiet stay while still being close to all amenities. The staff were amazing and the little soda on the corner was delicious. Thanks!

We had a fabulous stay at El Pequeno Gecko Verde, it is a true jungle oasis! Our kids, ages 5 & 7 loved the walk through the jungle to the secret beach and the pool was the perfect way to cool off in the afternoons. My son especially loved the banana milkshakes! The location was perfect for us, lovely and quiet, a 5 minute walk to Buenavista beach for sunset and about 10 mins walk down the street to a the bakery/soda . We enjoyed being out of town and had a car if we wanted to go into town for dinner. Muriel & Fabrice made us feel very welcome, their breakfast was delicious! We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner rather than later!

This small hotel sits in the jungle underneath tall trees just filled with howler monkeys. It is delightful. The landscaping is lovely, the pool is clean and refreshing, and the proprietors are friendly and helpful. We loved it!

Friendly staff, great pool, clean rooms, yummy breaakfast

We had an amazing stay at this lodge. The only thing that was a surprise to us was the cabin had a full kitchen. I didn’t notice that when we booked. But the cabins with the full kitchen do not include breakfast. You could order breakfast for an extra cost. We arrived in the evening and did not bring any food to cook. So we ended up purchasing the breakfast that came with most of the rooms. It was a little frustrating since we spent more than we usually spend on rooms. The pool was also very cold. It was a very nice property. And out of the way of the busy town. If you’re looking for dinner a little later, you will have to travel into town by car.

I stayed with my 14 year old daughter and my mom at the Bodhi tree for a week. We all had a fantastic time! The rooms were comfortable and clean, the beds were comfortable, and the fans and air conditioning were great in the rooms. We did yoga, went surfing, and relaxed by the pool. All the food we had was delicious! We will definitely be back!

This place is amazing for solo traveler. You meet with amazing people: other expects, groups on retreats, and locals. There are so much to do: great place to work by the juice bar or in your cool casita, take a dip in the salt water pool, catch a wave and do a delicious yin class.

The property is gorgeous with lush, jungle surrounding the bungalows. Amazing pool and great juice bar. The yoga classes are top notch. Love the outdoor shower!

Breakfast was great Pool and grounds are amazing I love yoga and there were lots of amazing classes, great surfing for beginners nearby

Gorgeous landscaping - unbeatable amenities - spectacular yoga rooms, great gym, 25m pool, spin room, Pilates room - and great food and smoothie bar to boot

Gorgeous, peaceful tropical gardens - we saw howler monkeys, coatis and iguanas while relaxing in the hammock outside our bungalow. Private plunge pool was great for cooling off and the main pool was lovely and quiet. Bungalow was well equipped for self catering, you can also get a great breakfast at the hotel (extra cost). We loved Samara - perfect waves for learning to surf, loads of fab restaurants and a great relaxed vibe.

Only about 1 mile (down potholed dirt road) from Samara. My family was amazed by the beauty of Costa Rica after arriving here after a long travel day. They upgraded our family to the biggest Villa at the top of the driveway because it was open. It was very nice and secluded. It has a small private pool and outdoor dinning area. The foliage is used for privacy between the villas. The grounds were beautiful! The receptionist was very helpful with recommendations and let us keep our luggage there a couple hours after checkout. I would highly recommend.

The setting of the hotel cabanas and pool in the jungle garden was beautiful and peaceful. The pool was larger than expected, extremely clean, and a delight. The cabanas themselves were comfortable and nicely appointed with an efficiency kitchen, outdoor shower, comfortable bed, nice linens and towels, and a futon couch that can function as an extra sleeper. There was also a nice porch with tables and chairs and hammock. There is also access to a short trail to a secluded beach and viewpoints which was a bonus and worth the hike. I spied the Green Gecko eating petunias by the pool - the hotel’s namesake! The service at Reception and the breakfast were exceptional. We will consider this property on our next visit for sure. There is a bike rental a few doors down and we found this the easiest way to get from the hotel to the beach and town.

We loved this place. Just outside of Samara town (3-5 minutes drive) in a peaceful spot. It was like arriving in a jungle oasis. Stunning grounds, teaming with wildlife (Howler monkeys, iguanas, coatis, birds, butterflys.... we saw more animals at this hotel than in the national parks!). The sounds were incredible. Our bungalow was private and very comfortable. Rooms were cleaned very well each day. We had a kitchenette which was great. Impeccable trilingual service from Carlos. The pool was marvellous and the dining area next to the pool was a nice covered space for breakfast or just a spot in the shade. Several choices for breakfast, all served with a generous portion of fresh fruit. Samara beach is very nice, but our favourite beach was Carillo beach 15 minutes drive away.

The owners were so personable as well as all the staff! They arranged an amazing turtle excursion for us where we saw hundreds of turtles hatching. Absolutely amazing! We were greeted on the first day of opening after being closed for Sept/Oct, we were surprised with an upgraded room. Our Casita was spectacular with an outdoor shower!The grounds are one of the prettiest we've seen in Costa Rica, lots of animals visiting us, raccoons and coatis. The pool was refreshing and there was a trail from the property to a secret beach.

I really enjoyed my stay at Norte. The room was beautiful with little details. The staff was so nice and helpful. Yoga studio with a lot of classes available and the jungle bar had the best cocktails!

Very nice property with private bungalows.

There is really no other hotel like the Nosara Beach in Costa Rica. It has an exceptional location on the point dividing two incredible beaches. The hotel itself is a one of a kind structure that melds the Greek Island of Santorini with a modern artist fever dream to create a sculpture as much as a building. The separate plunge pool suites are like staying in an island cave house. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, special mention for Esperanza who took great care of us. Just a few steps away from the exceptional Luna restaurant, and the on site breakfast was excellent. Take the canopy tour offered by the hotel, it is breathtaking. And visit the Coyol restaurant in the mountains for top notch dining experience. All of these are under the same management and the experience is frictionless. Highly recommended.

Quiet, quaint and quirky! Breathtaking views! During our stay we enjoyed most pool hours to ourselves. The rooms and property are clean and well kept. Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones are a couple minutes walk away and both beaches are visible from locations on the property. Downtown Guiones is a quick 10 minute drive. Alexsander and Vanessa serve up a delicious breakfast each morning. The pool and breakfast view of the Pacific is non-negotiably the best in Nosara! Howler monkeys are easy to see and visit the pool and breakfast restaurant! Nosara Beach Hotel is a decision you won't regret!

This lovely, interesting, hotel was recently reopened (I believe around 2019) and some refurbishments are on-going. It was a former iconic landmark dating back seemingly to the 1970s, retains a spiritual vibe and is well on its way to becoming a unique re-born classic, a worthy and impressive endeavour. The location is key, set just a few minutes' walk from a choice of two separate beaches, each with their own individual personalities. One beach is long, sweeping and a favourite for surfers, the other quieter, somewhat rockier, more family-orientated with varying, interesting sandy bays. Our air-conditioned (indispensable) room was large, having a separate living area with 3 free bottles of filtered water provided daily, a French coffee press, a refrigerator and a safe. The small balcony was reminiscent of a treehouse with just enough room for a two-person bench and overlooked one of the beaches, beyond dense vegetation. Our room was fine for a two-night stay and clearly some work is continuing, for example some of the plumbing and our bathroom had not yet been fully perfected. The main pool afforded great views of the interesting architecture of the hotel. Relaxing hammocks were available in a shady, grassed area. The sea-views at sunset from near the pool were outstanding. The only restaurant was airy, shady and the food good and reasonably priced. The menu changed after two days. Breakfast was excellent, a la carte.

Its really a perfect place to stay in the area, has all the amenities of a resort and you can walk north or south on the beaches and hit several different restaurants. Free breakfast is REALLY GOOD.. they have a resort style pool without a real pool bar if i had to complain about anything. Its kind of a BYOB thing..

I live an hour away and needed to be in Nosara for the night so my 3 year old daughter and I had a little holiday here and we had a great time, we really loved it. it's perfect for kids, trampoline, great pool, lovely immaculate gardens. The buildings are bonkers, and it's a little rough around the edges in parts, but the decor is chic and simple and very clean, and it's all rather charming. Definitely would recommend it: it's the most peaceful place I've ever stayed in Nosara. the beach is on the doorstep and La Luna restaurant next door does a lovely ambient dinner. The breakfast included was delicious, way above-standard of many other hotels we've stayed in. all in all we had a great time and I would absolutely recommend it, especially for families. The staff are all super relaxed and friendly

We stayed in 6 different places during our trip to CR and this was by darn our favorite

Amazing property close to the beach. Excellent breakfasts

The room was in a great location, close to town and a short walk to the beach. Room had a view, with plenty of room and quite. Aside from the ants in the room, there are no complaints.

Cute and comfy hotel with lots of character. 1. Room+terrace: comfy and cool with the AC. Nice and spacious and I liked having my own little walkway and sitting area to enjoy moments alone. 2. Facilities: nice yoga shala and pool area. The other guests were friendly and it was a nice area to enjoy and chat with others 3. Breakfast: great breakfast! I loved the fruit and juice and coffee provided upon sitting siren and the breakfast options from the menu were excellent 4. Staff: Amazing staff. Fran and Maria were super friendly and Christina was very helpful and so great to chat with and let me practice my Spanish with her and was also very helpful in making recommendations of where to get food and how to get around. The owner was also helpful in ensuring things were operating well. 5. Location: I really liked the location. Was a nice walk to the beach in one direction and to BodhiYoga Resort in the other direction. I went to the beach at least once every day and to Bodhi several times during my stay for yoga or food or reliable wifi while grabbing a smoothie 6. The Vibe and Jungle feel: I noticed several other hotels in the area that were fancier and more polished but I actually preferred Green Sanctuary because the others seemed a little too sterile for me. Overall was an amazing stay and I plan to visit again!

spent an amazing week in Nosara, Costa Rica — a magical surf and yoga town full of life. After a few days at a larger, busier resort, I moved to Hotel Green Sanctuary, and everything shifted. The shipping container rooms were a perfect, simple place to stay, with excellent A/C for deep, restorative sleep. Breakfast was a daily highlight, and the pool was the perfect way to cool down after long, hot days exploring town and the beach. The location is ideal for walking around and discovering Nosara. I booked through Booking.com, which made communication with hotel management seamless — everything was smooth and easy from start to finish. They also provided great resources for food delivery, transportation (Better Call Tito!), and affordable local restaurant recommendations. Huge thanks to Ro, Fernando, the amazing chef, and even the friendly black cat for creating such a welcoming, peaceful space. I’m so grateful for the experience — and I’m bringing some Pura Vida energy home with me!

Very nice container room in well kept grounds. The area surrounding the property was nice with lots of wildlife to observe from the pool area. Although there were a few dining options in easy walking distance from the hotel, the area did not feel entirely safe as evening approached. Staff helpful in arranging ride from airport and to follow up destination and really enjoyed our stay. Recommended.

Breakfast was delicious! Didn't use the pool. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and livable the room was considering it is a metal container converted into a room. The bed was super comfortable. I loved living in the jungle. The reception staff are fantastic. Hotel has an Airport Shuttle Service available even though it is at an extra charge.

The breakfast was excellent. Beyond expatations. The staff was friendly and accessible. For its location and price it would be hard to find a better value in an overpriced tourist area. A cozy setting with a nice little pool to cool off in. Only eight rooms so very quiet while we vere there and all eight were occupied.

We loved this lodge. The location is quiet and surrounded by nature. We saw howlers , iguanas, parakeets, and many other birds every day on the property. A 10 minute walk to a stunning turtle beach with no crowds and gorgeous sunsets. The staff are hardworking and very welcoming. The rooms are cleaned daily, the beds are comfortable, and there is hot water in the shower, which is rare. There is private outdoor seating for each cabin. The food was delicious and made from local, organic ingredients. The pool is a lovely bonus. We recommend that you have a car as the location is quite isolated, unless, like us, you just want to chill for a while. We feel that this hotel is good value for your money in this area.

A small paradise in a remote and quiet location fifteen minutes from two beautiful, uncrowded and spacious beaches. We really appreciated the owner Reiner, and the staff were extremely nice, helpful and welcoming. The pool is just what one needs after a day in the scorching sun. The food at the restaurant is all organic and delicious; or one can purchase food and cook in the room. Samara is 20 minutes away by car and there’s a market nearby. There’s an A/C and mosquito nets on all windows in the rooms. We highly recommend this place as an escape from the crowded commercial touristic areas. Stay at least two or three days. Take a break from everything.

Lovely grounds full of fruit trees. The pool was nice. The room was not fancy, but very comfortable with a refrigerator and AC. The staff and owner were very nice and the food at the restaurant was good - especially the breakfast. The beach was a 2 minute drive away, so a bit of a walk, but a pleasant walk. And it is a beautiful beach!

The property is spectaclar - the plants and trees and flowers - and the artifacts around the property and in the restaurant. So much to appreciate. Owner and staff were very helpful. Restaurant food was wonderful and the pool was lovely. The air conditioned room was very large as well as the washroom/shower area and we had a beautiful outdoor space with a vine covered roof.

Loved the location wildlife and gardens, The very chilled vibe the pool was clean and large The beach was 15 min walk ,and beautiful Barrigona beach 10 min drive The food was delicious and cooked fresh Our room was lovely , with fresh sheets and towels daily with a handy fridge in room The staff do a great job keeping the place beautiful

This is a very small boutique hotel. Loved the vibe of it and location. The room was great. The only thing I would say is they ask what time cleaning can come due to covid and you give a time but they still come whenever works for them and not specific time. Which is fine but we had planned to be out of the room at specific times we gave and not when they ended up coming. That is covid related though and I am sure will change. The food was delicious, pool was great, did get harder to get chairs at the pool when they were busy but some usually came available shortly. Would definitely stay at this hotel again if going to Nosara. Actually tried to again a week lately but they were all booked.

The hotel was in a great location and very nice. We enjoyed the included breakfast, the walkability to the beach, shops and restaurants. The staff were very kind and available to help. The gym is only accessible by reservation and only allows 5 people per hour. And we weren’t able to use the yoga room for our own practice on Sunday because it was closed. We felt like we were on someone else’s schedule trying to fit things in. The pool area is beautiful but didn’t seem big enough given how many people were using it. And there were a lot of kids which made the pool area loud and not very relaxing for us. Overall we would recommend this hotel.

This was my third visit to Playa Guiones/Nosara area, but my children’s first visit to CR! The Guilded Iguana surpassed all expectations! We loved the hotel for its friendly, helpful staff, super clean hotel, amazing housekeeping, excellent breakfast, dining options, pool, we can go on! A few minutes to the beach, and we highly recommend the Iguana Surf Club if you’ve never surfed. The staff really takes care of you to ensure you have everything you need so you’re just enjoying your vacation! So many personal touches they added to our stay that really made us feel welcome and special. Kids raved about it too and said they’d love to go back soon! As well, the location is central to boutique shopping and other restaurants in the area, so you don’t need a vehicle! All in all, we highly recommend The Gilded Iguana for a wonderful stay!

They have customer service now Pat. I have got to be the fussiest traveler and very spoiled because we always stay at a really nice places. There is not one criticism or suggestion I would give the management about our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, large airy high ceilings perfectly working air conditioner fan lovely patio wonderful rainforest shower. They have saltwater pools and fabulous food in their restaurants. All of the staff it provides exceptional customer service especially the front desk staff, the restaurant management and Andres! I don’t know the name of the woman who is at the Apple station for the complementary breakfast but my goodness… She learned after the first day exactly what we order and provided it every time she saw us come into the dining area! Fabulous location because it’s near everything. Loved it and recommended highly❣️

This may be my favorite hotel ever, and I travel a lot. I play a game during my stays where I think of things I’d do better if I owned the hotel. I can’t come up with one single thing! Room was amazing and bed was so comfortable. Staff was so friendly. Restaurant was really good. Free breakfast was a full meal. And the prices they charge for food and drinks is so reasonable. The entire upscale surfer vibe really worked for us. I would come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I’ve already started looking at prices. And internet was perfect. You could easily work with confidence from your room (or even out by the pool). I can’t recommend this place enough.

Room with view was amazing! Really enjoyed the pool area with swim up bar and also the incredible view.

Lagarta Lodge was everything we expected and more. From the stunning views to the amazing service and phenomenal food. The staff was accommodating & Lukas in the front really took good care of us. We appreciate him. The wildlife all over the area so was beautiful and at your fingertips. We enjoyed the swim up bar and the balcony from our room! Thanks for an awesome first experience in Costa Rica! We hope to be back soon!

We absolutely adored our time at Hotel Boutique Lagarta. Everything about the hotel was stunning, from the restaurant overlooking the ocean, to the 3 infinity pools (one of which is always warmed!) overlooking the jungle and ocean, to our spacious and inviting room. All of the hotel employees were accommodating, kind and warm, going out of their way to make us feel cared for. Some days we ended up canceling planned activities because we just found spending an afternoon at the pool with the unforgettable vista so delightful. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the spa was incredible and very reasonably priced. There's also a nature reserve on site that you can use, and we booked a kayaking trip through the hotel that left out of that reserve which was marvelous. There is a beach on the property though you do have to cross the river at low tide to reach it. That being said, you still get all the beauty and sounds of having the ocean right below the hotel, and there's a free shuttle that takes you to and from the other more popular beaches (Pelada and Guiones). We did experience the hotel's beach when we went kayaking as well and the waves were lovely and not rough. If we had to find a negative, it would be that the roads in and out of Nosara, and up and down the hill to the hotel, are quite challenging with MANY potholes. You definitely need an SUV to navigate, and we chose to take very reasonably priced tuk tuk rides whenever we left the hotel. Would gladly return!

We really enjoyed our two night stay. The new restaurant menu is an upgrade to the old one. Keep the improved trend. Wait staff and front desk were very personable. One area to improve is the main pool needs a thorough cleaning. There was debris (not the normal leaves floating) at the bottom of the pool by the edge. A good vacuum will solve that issue. Overall a quality stay. We will be back.

Unmatched views of unspoiled coastline including the Ostional beach where we saw turtles hatching. Restaurant setting was very soothing with excellent red snapper. Staff was very attentive and fast (albeit in very low season). The cocktails at sunset were unmatched. You could spend long hours in the infinity pools relaxing with the views. Enjoyed the choice of pool temperatures as well as the nice outdoor shower in our bedroom.

This was our first trip with a baby - we had our 4 month old daughter with us and stayed here for 8 nights. It was truly exceptional. The staff is so thoughtful, kind, generous, gracious, and helpful. Our baby was in love with them all holding her while we got to eat meals. I am forever grateful to the lovely ladies working the front desk and restaurant - they made our trip so wonderful. Speaking of the meals, wow. Breakfast was awesome and has such a great menu that even being there for 8 days, it never got old. We also had dinner and lunch at the restaurant - also so great. The room was perfect and the free laundry service was so helpful with the baby. We even had a pack n play provided by the place to borrow making our travel even easier. We got to surf everyday with the ease of the ocean right down the epic jungle path. We watched monkeys for hours from our balcony, spent afternoons taking our baby in the pool for the first time, and could enjoy air conditioned naps in the hot afternoon. This will be a trip we hold dear forever as it was our first as parents and Olas Verdes will be remembered as the best possible place to spend it. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will be back for sure.

What an AMAZING hotel! The location is perfect, just a 1 min walk to the beach through stunning jungle on a private path and a 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Everything about the hotel was perfect for us, the room was beautiful and we loved the private outside space to sit and watch monkey, birds, iguanas & geckos while enjoying a nice cold beer. Both pools were very welcome after a busy day exploring and the food was delicious. I think the best thing about the hotel was all the staff! They were so friendly, always happy to chat, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear they all enjoy their jobs as they were always smiling, happy and laughing with each other giving the hotel a very friendly and relaxed feel. Ines and Nikole on the front desk in particular went above and beyond helping with restaurant suggestions and bookings even sending me menu’s from a number of local restaurants so I could check there would be something my fussy son would eat! Not to mention telling us the best place to go to find local handmade souvenirs.

Everything! The reception staff were very welcoming, informative, and helpful. They booked restaurants and excursions for us. They gave us a tour of the facility pointing out all of the amenities we may be interested in. Then they showed us to our rooms. They explained how to use the safe, provided a complimentary stainless steel water bottle, complimentary laundry service, and complimentary breakfast at the wonderful on-site restaurant. Local coffee and organic tea was provided. The entire facility was very clean and tidy. I loved my room. It had a balcony above the pool, at tree canopy height. It was private, quiet. A wonderful place to just sit and enjoy being outside. The bed and bedroom was air-conditioned and very comfortable. The restaurant staff, menu, and food quality were superb! All of the staff were very attentive to our needs, efficient, capable, patient, courteous, friendly, generous, and kind. And it was a short walk to a beautiful beach and glorious sunsets! I highly recommend Olas Verdes!

Very nice boutique hotel, we had a huge room which is great as we travelled as a family. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I loved the surf school located directly in the hotel, super convenient. We also loved the swimming pool. They even did our laundry for free, so convenient when you are travelling, highly appreciated. I would love to be back with my family. Thank you Olas Verdes for those few days in paradise !

Amazing and attentive staff. The room was very spacious and we felt very comfortable. There were mosquito nets on every window which was convenient. There's two pools on the property one of them was barely used in our time there and we had it almost to ourselves. There's a private beach access directly from the hotel and it only takes 3 minutes to get to the beach.

Lovely ground floor rooms for our family of 5, located near the pool. Both clean and attractive with comfy chairs on the terrace outside. The pool area was beautiful and felt like a little oasis. Breakfasts were excellent and the evening meals very good too. Brian on reception organised surfing lessons with Nosara Surf School for our 3 teenagers which was a huge success. All in all, an excellent 2 night stay.

the food at the restaurant was some of the best that we had in Nosara. Also the best lemonade and margaritas! I loved that it didn't feel busy even though the hotel was full. There was always a spot by the pool and in the restaurant. Having surf board storage was very helpful. The staff was very friendly and helpful, particularly in booking restaurant reservations and transportation when needed.

Sunset Shack was in a great location, close to the beach, short walk to the shops and more restaurants. The room was spacious, comfy beds and amazing shower. The hotel/bungalows are quiet and the Al Chile restaurant joined to the hotel is great. We were able to order and eat by the pool.

Amazing breakfast, great pool, tons of wildlife around. Staff was very welcoming and friendly.

The free breakfast was the best way to start the day. The room was very well-designed and outfitted. The kitchenette had everything we needed and more - mixing bowls! The pool and lounge area were very secluded, refreshing and clean. The surfboard storage was awesome as you can grab your board and walk to the beach in under 5 minutes. The staff were very quick to respond on whatsapp with help when needed.
