Owned by Americans who are patently trying to extract as much income as possible and no service!
Pros:

Its a good looking hotel, but scratch the surface and you find out what's wrong! Not good at all

Cons:

No cleaning of my room.
Breakfast was 10 minutes walk away and the menu was, if I'm being charitable, sparse.. whilst others around me are a decent breakfast off their 'normal' menu in the same café!!
Nowhere to hang any clothes.
Bedside lights that were ridiculously large so had to be placed on the floor for fear of them falling.
No TVs in the rooms (I mean I've never stayed even in a lodge in the mountains without TV!) (management say this is to prevent noise which is just rubbish!)
No form of service whatsoever.
No bar, no drinks, nothing, just a room and a plunge pool
Front of hotel bolted shut from 5pm daily.
I was in Costa Rica for 3 months and every other place I stayed felt like good value for money.
This felt like it was massively oversold online and overpriced in reality for what it delivers.
I submitted this feedback to management before submitting it here, only to get batted back with weak answers and poor excuses for a rubbish performance.

Blue serenity is a wonderful place to stay and explore Nosara!
Pros:

This is a beautiful little gem in the middle of Nosara. My room was spotless and fresh and modern. I was only here for a quick overnight stay before transferring to another hotel. My flight was delayed and the front desk staff stayed until I got here to be sure I got into my room. The front desk closes at seven, but were very communicative when I told them my flight was delayed and I may arrive late.

My room was very modern, and clean, with wonderful shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body wash amenities. The AC was perfect and the quaint swimming pool is right outside my door in the lounge/lobby area. Perfect for meeting up with friends!

I ventured across the street later in the evening when it was dark and luckily found a wonderful little Peruvian bar/restaurant to enjoy some food and drink to start my week in Nosara. During the day, the property is a great walking distance to Nosara to visit all of the shops, markets, and local cuisine.

Cons:

I was here on a Friday and next-door is a little surf shop that seemed to be having a TGIF party. :-) I’m not saying that I didn’t like the property because of it, but if you were looking for a quiet respite on a weekend you may have a fun party going on next-door that you may want to join!

Pros:

Great location close to the beach with a nice little dipping pool. Met some other fun solo travelers too! Also loved that breakfast was included at a cute little restaurant down the street. It was great!

Pros:

Very nice property with easy access to beach, shops, and restaurants. Very friendly and attentive staff. While property itself was great, the nearby unpaved roads are dusty with a lot of traffic which made walking less pleasant.

They don't care about guests but only about money, ghosted by the management
Pros:

Modern standard, bright facilities, the receptionist was very friendly and competent. It's very small and therefore overpriced, and on a loud mainstreet, which is all ok depending on what you're looking for

Cons:

I booked the same day as I arrived for 4 nights. Already before the 1st evening I let them know that I'll leave the next day, bc it was too noisy and I don't like Nosara in general. I didn't expect them to do a full refund but to be open to talk and to be met on eyelevel, no matter if I'm a paying client or not. Promises of getting back to me in 1 day were broken, then they said they cannot do a refund bc the room would be empty otherwise (which is invalid bc I booked the same day as I arrived), and since then no one answers, they just ghosted me. This is not how humans (and customers) should be treated, that's why I write this review.

Blue Serenity is a wonderful hotel in the heart of a very special and sacred part of the world.
Pros:

I was so grateful for the opportunity to stay at Blue Serenity. I liked everything about this little gem in the middle of North Guiones, Nosara. The staff Angel was so kind and accommodating, and I loved speaking with the woman who cleaned my room as well. The little kitchen and pool were perfect for my needs. I didn't try surfing... Next time!

Cons:

Like everything in Guiones, the price was a lot for me to handle! I pray that the prices of everything in Guiones do not escalate to the point that only the ultra rich can afford to experience this beautiful place.

Pros:

The staff were very polite and regularly offered to help with any local needs. The place is clean and well kept.

However, the small rooms ("Basic Single Room") are super tiny, with no barriers between the bed and toilet bowl, which is right next to the shower, also with no separation, so it was difficult to avoid the scent of the plumbing / septic tank coming up through the room (I covered the shower drain with a towel).

Personally, I found the bed way too soft and the polyester filled pillows to be way too hard and thick ... that's a matter of personal preference, I guess.

My primary issue was that there was a gap between the pane of the window and the wall, so bugs were getting into the room and bit me at least a dozen times each night, had to wake up to scratch for half an hour to an hour before falling back to sleep. I brought this to the attention of the reception. They were concerned, but not quickly compelled to act ... I went and bought two rolls of different kinds of tape myself to block the gaps.

They eventually sent someone, but to do the same, but it was never clear that they would.

The location is great and in town, so you don't need a car. The walk to the restaurant where they have a deal to offer the included breakfast (not offered on the hotel premises) is only about 5 minutes, and quite tasty, if limited.

Pros:

Very clean, new and modern rooms.

Cons:

I know it happens more, but i left my brandnew surfshort in the room, and mysteriously it could not be “Found”. I really liked my stay, but this did ruined the vibe (as there was no doubt on where is was).
