Pros:

This property was absolutely amazing and the pictures do not do it any justice. Prepare to feel luxurious from the look and ambiance to the amenities offered. It is located in the middle of the jungle so the connection to the wilderness was closer than expected and very free so expect to freely see them roam. The staff were amazing and very patient!! They accommodated and resolved any issue that transpired and were so friendly and welcoming. From the owner, to the waiters and bartender to the other circulating staff members; they practically became family! This establishment is a huge 10 out of 10 for me and highly suggested so book early because they do tend to fill up fast.

Great hotel, amazing staff and management, really good and groundling energy that match to the hotel name. Definitely will go back next trip to Nosara. They recognize you by the name and very warm hospitality.

Pros:

What a beautiful and relaxing space. The owners Jaime and Miri were wonderful, so sweet and friendly. Design is impeccable. Rooms thoughtfully laid out and stunning. The bed was so comfy. Had the best massage at the spa. Also loved the restaurant/bar near the pool. Great food and drinks. I ate every taco they have and they were all genuinely delicious. Can't say enough good things. Really enjoyed my stay, just an excellent place to rest and enjoy.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

Everything was top notch from check in to check out.

Brand new property with Zen design and quiet. Bed and shower super comfortable with strong yet quiet AC.

Kitchen is the best in Nosara thanks to a top chef.

Service across the board from landscaping to serving to management are committed professionals. So rare, so nice.

It's up in the hills away from noise but within easy reach to the beach thanks to the shuttle.

Pros:

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.

Absolutely gorgeous and tasteful place with next level service and staff.

Eric and Eva (Dominique at yoga!) made a huge positive difference in our experience.

I rarely write any reviews but for Esh I do because it's a jewel.

We travel to Nosara once or twice each year. We usually rent homes but really loved our stay at Esh. The staff is wonderful and always ready to help with anything you need at any time. I can't speak highly enough about the staff at Esh! Beautiful property.

Pros:

Esh is a beautiful brand new luxury property. I only stayed for one night but the staff and amenities were amazing. The rooms are brand new and modern--has a very Tulum type vibe. The onsite restaurant was amazing. The owners were extremely gracious and helpful with anything I needed. Only downside is you do need a car as it is not in a walkable area. However apart from that Esh is really beautiful and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful luxury stay.

Pros:

From the moment I stepped into this property I felt I was somewhere very different than what is used to here in Costa Rica. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this property, even the vibe is super peaceful and inviting. The service was fantastic everyone was very friendly and the food at Almar was one of the best restaurants I've been to in Nosara. I know it's a new property so I can't wait for their workout space and spa to be ready.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

I stayed here for one night and it was amazing. I wanted a place to get away and relax and I can’t think of a better place to do it. The whole place is beautiful and even though it’s easy to get to the beach I loved just being by the pool and being in the jungle. The staff was great, so friendly and helpful, the food amazing and great cocktails, just a perfect vibe. I would definitely go back hopefully for a longer trip!
