Nosara Beach Hotel

Massively overpriced, belligerent staff, very basic breakfast (without choice), lifeless, phoney atmosphere. We stayed because it was late in the day and we were stranded as it’s a long way from a central hub. I would not recommend this even to very wealthy travellers ($300 per night - not justified).

We had an absolutely fantastic stay. The hotel is so unique and fun. The service is outstanding. The food is over-the-top delicious! The location is amazing! Location step to world famous beaches. Easy walk to town! Our room was super spacious and had the most incredible ocean view! We can’t wait to return!

What can I say, with the ever changing face of Guiones and Nosara… This hotel is what has kept me coming back. Wonderful staff ALWAYS, down to earth caring and the jewel of the area. Almost don’t want to let it out! Best beaches best views best people

Pros: location was pretty good, breakfast was good, pool is nice. Cons: run down, not well maintained. For the price, service was lacking. Biggest issues were the ants, lots of them in the unit, two giant grasshoppers the size of your hand on our bed. Sewer gas smell. The major issues occurred at night after the front desk closed at 9, so we waited until the morning at 8 to tell the hotel, they said that we should have told them right away. They offered to upgrade rooms, but there is no pest control, there are ants all over of the property including the restaurant. The doors and windows are not sealed anywhere, so no reason to think that another room would be better. We left a day early.

The view of the Nosara Beach Hotel is very intriguing as you drive up. And the last hour of the drive to Nosara is beyond bumpy, but worth it. The outdoor dining area offers and amazing breakfast, our room was very large, with a smaller outdoor seating area overlooking the Pelada Beach. You can easily walk along the beach to the town of Nosara and enjoy eating at the Dog Day Cafe. The pool at the hotel is also very large and pristine!

This hotel was a refreshing experience for my family. My kids love the breakfast in particular the French toast pinchos. The hotel is beach front convenient. The views are amazing. Good pool. It has a family room where you can cook. Will come back.

Nice big rooms with furniture made of local wood, gorgeous view of the water and sunset, big, modern bathroom, location right on the beach (down a little path) and next to great restaurants (my fav was the local bar La Luna... amazing ceviche), scrumptious breakfast on the veranda, attentive service (especially Martin at the front desk), big pool with comfy lounge chairs, just a perfect place. What would have made it better, dinner service and bar, not much to do around that area at night so a bar would be nice. There is one, but not open at night.

We stayed for 7 nights in April 2022, during one of the busiest times of the season. We had a wonderful stay and were even lucky enough to extend it longer because we loved it so much. What makes this place so magical? First, the location. As you can see from the photo, the hotel sits between two beautiful beaches, Playa Guinones and Playa Pelada. What you can't see is how it feels - tranquil, secluded, quiet, safe and away from the hustle of North Guiones which is just a 10 minute drive away. The pool was also a great option when we needed a break from the beach or wanted to swim after sunset (closes at 8pm). Second, the staff. Thank you to Esperanza, Daniel and Daniela for your dedication to making our trip so special. Even though we are seasoned travelers, we still had lots of questions and they were helpful with everything: transportation, tours, restaurants, culture and random questions. The staff are beautiful, smart and proactive people who go out of their way to help guests have a good experience (I am an executive recruiter professionally - I notice these things!!) Third, the restaurant onsite is a treasure. Breakfast is included every morning, and our waiter, Joham, was very attentive and made amazing fresh fruit juice every morning. We often came back for lunch because the food was great and the veranda offered a cool respite from the hot sun. Joham was especially patient with our two boys (12 and 9) and they slowly practiced their Spanish while ordering. TBC...

This hotel is so unique and beautiful. We pulled up to it after driving 1.5 hours on mostly dirt road and felt like we had reached a gem at the very end of the earth. There are only 21 or 22 rooms in the whole place but the restaurant, pool, and grounds are spacious. And all of it is right by the beach. Esperanza, the manager who also functions as an outstanding concierge, could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was delicious.
