Pros:

Loved my stay here! The staff were super friendly and always happy to help with tour ideas and tips for things to do. We had a flat tire and the owner was very helpful with letting us use a phone and making sure we were taken care of, it was really appreciated! The pool was amazing with the best views—definitely a spot I could hang out all day. My room was cozy and really comfortable. The area was very quiet which made relaxing and sleeping easy! Overall just a great vibe and experience—would definitely stay again!

Pros:

If you’re looking for a fancy Costa Rica experience , this is not your place in Nosara. If you’re looking for a real old school Costa Rica experience this place provides what you need . David the owner and his crew are loving and make you feel very welcome, He suggested my 12 year old son take a Jui Jitsu class, which he loved, and offered many suggestions for activities, tours and even made a call for us. The food is good, even though we only ate pizza and pancakes for breakfast. The.pool up at the classically designed main villa is lovely for a morning and afternoon swim but be prepared to climb a steep stair case. I liked it because it was part of my exercise routine. The main lounge and restaurant area are very comfortable, always playing great DJ music which gives it a dance festival vibe. The scene is very international, hip and all the travelers we met were very interesting and kind. We loved playing on the jungle pool table. My biggest criticism is the grounds could be better leading up to the main house and in front of the studio could’ be better kept up. The communal kitchen needs to be upgraded and the trash area was messy when we arrived and it took a few days for it to be cleaned. . There was also an ugly structure outside Casita 1 that should be replaced with a garden. I wish they had provided shampoo and cream inside the rooms which are lovely. All is all it was a great time and we felt very safe and taken care of. I would recommend a car or renting an ATV.

Pros:

David the owner greeted me kindly. I showed up early and he kindly let me store my bags in a safe place while I went surfing and waited until it was time to check in. He is a very fun, laid back guy that made me feel right at home. I really appreciated the fact that my room had a good working AC unit and a comforter on the bed. Most places I’ve stayed in Costa Rica only supply a thin bed sheet. The room was clean and cozy. I slept great! The next person I met was Brian the pizza chef. He gave me a fist bump and had a big smile. I really liked talking to him. His Pizza skills are excellent. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. And finally the other person I really appreciated while staying there was the other David. Not sure of his exact job title but he seemed to do a little bit of everything. He made me several great cups of coffee, he took my food orders, he called me a shuttle to Tamarindo when I was leaving. He was a solid dude and I could tell he had a strong work ethic and cared about the guests experience. I will definitely be staying there again next time I’m in Nosara.

Pros:

This was a great place for a low-key stay in Nosara, a 20-minute walk to Guiones Beach. The staff were outstanding - always friendly and welcoming. The dining area is lively and yes the artisanal pizza is fantastic (Brazilian=yum).

It was good but it is in the middle of nowhere. So, if you want to isolate from the world without internet, it is a good idea.

Pros:

The resort is in a perfect location outside of Nosara with enough isolation and green space to give us the Pura Vida vibe we love. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. The surf lesson we aranged through the resort was excellent and they also offer Mui Thai and Jujitsu Lessons in a very well maintained practice space. Good pizza and western breakfast with even better typical food. The owner is very kind and easy to talk to with excellent advice and he has surrounded himself with very talented instructors and staff. We are definatley interested in coming back.

Pros:

It was a great experience we stayed with our 2 older kids for 2 nights. It was amazingly comfortable glamping. I did not take into account the time of year and it was rather hot. The property is amazing and has lots of little things for you to do.
