Gorgeous hotel, great location, bad breakfast.
Pros:

The Nomadic is beautiful - very thoughtfully designed with plenty of surprising details - it was a visual feast. Our room was spacious and had an outdoor terrace. One thing that stood out (which is rarely done well in beach hotels) is that there were plenty of hooks around the room and in the veranda to hang clothes, wet bathing suits, etc. Little details like "coins" for leaving tips for the cleaning staff if you don't have cash, which are then added to your bill, were great! And there are two outdoor showers at the entrance to wash off beach sand. The lounge beds around the pool were super comfortable and had good shade.

The location is also excellent, an easy 5-minute walk from Giones beach. There is a walking path right next to the Nomadic that takes you to the other side of Guiones, a beautiful path full of tree shade that is sponsored by the hotel - great initiative. We barely had to use our car while we were there because everything was within walking distance.

When I contacted them via this platform about an AC that wasn't working and, later, an object we thought we'd lost in our room, I got fast, good responses.

They offer free yoga classes (I didn't take any, but the yoga room looked great) and they have an honour bar if you want a drink after hours.

Cons:

Food is not the Nomadic's strength.

The breakfast is strangely bad for such a beautiful and pricey hotel. I was surprised by the mini portions, strange things like just 1 mini plantain in the "typical" breakfast (unheard of in Costa Rica, I'm a local, you always get at least 3), mini portion of fruits that did not include yoghurt (I was told I'd have to pay extra for yoghurt and granola), and no black tea - I was charged extra for a tea! You also didn't have a choice; it was whatever was on the menu, and it was just not good. Having stayed in comparable hotels that offer delicious, generous breakfasts with a variety of food choices and drinks, I found this disappointing. I ended up having to go for second breakfast around town on most days I was there.

On their website, they described "a tempting selection of smoothies, juices, coffee, tea, poolside bites, sweet treats, specialty cocktails, wines, and beers", and I was really looking forward to that, but when I went to order from their big drinks menu (think matcha with collagen sort of thing) they didn't have half the things on the menu, and there was no food to speak of.

Perfection
Pros:

I loved my stay at the Nomadic & ended up extending it from 2 nights to 5. I’d have stayed longer if I wasn’t a backpacker on a budget & would absolutely come back. I stayed in the dorm & it was so clean & felt nothing like being in a dorm really (granted there were only ever 2-3 of us in there). The breakfasts were delicious every day, the pool and surrounds were gorgeous & I loved the daily yoga classes. Lots of places in the hotel to sit and relax, my personal fave being the rope canopies & the hanging chairs. So peaceful.

Cons:

It was a little pricey but this is Nosara, one of if not the most expensive place in Costa Rica. It’s like that for a reason, it’s divine & restful.

Très joli petit hôtel décoré avec goût qui se fond dans la vibe surf and chill de nosara
Pros:

Très joli petit hôtel bien placé à 3mn à pieds de la playa Guiones à nosara, l’hôtel est calme au milieu de la végétation les chambres sont de tailles correctes peut être un peu sombres, (surtout en saison des pluie), tres joliment décorées.
Lit ok ,
Seuls bémols mais liés a l’endroit évidemment, peu de pression dans la douche et la chasse d’eau 🥱.
Le tout petit restaurant /café de l’hôtel est très agréable
Ah si ils ne prêtent pas de parasol ,

Cons:

Si je dois trouver quelque chose je dirais la salle de bain et le fait qu’ils ne sont pas très généreux en serviettes de toilette même si on sait que c’est un endroit où l’on fait attention à la nature

Expensive dorm room but so worth it!!
Pros:

What a beautiful spot! The dorm rooms are spacious and comfortable and I met some great people. The pool area is very beautiful, the yoga shala and classes are great, the breakfasts were amazing, the staff were helpful!

Cons:

Not having a fridge to store food is very challenging and alot of things I came to the dorm with went bad :( Also some issues with tech like double charging payments and then not receiving a full refund (could be a currency exchange issue) and there was a hassle with linking Booking.com to my payments but we figured it out in the end.

Heaven on Earth
Pros:

This is one of the few places around the world that really exceeded my expectations. There's something about the place itself, its architecture and design, its staff, its menu that cannot be described - everything is just so special and it attracts special guests as well. After a few days there, some of the other guests and I, we, felt like a family. There is a free yoga class every day, bikes available for free to all guests, a place to keep your surfboard, etc. The bunk beds were super clear and beautiful, including the toilets. The swimming pool is super clean and it doesn't contain chlorine, which is great for everybody.

Pros:

Très bel hôtel , très calme ,un bel espace Yoga. Équipe charmante.
Très bon hôtel pour se reposer et se régénérer!Chambre très confortable et cocooning . Le petit déjeuner est différent tous les jours.
Pour aller à la plage avec la chaleur , nous prenions un tuktuk.
C’est très facile, il y en a partout dans Nosara .
Un petit sentier dans la végétation vous mène à une zone commerçante où vous trouverez tout.
Très bon séjour .

Trendy vibe but expensive
Pros:

Lovely space, great yoga area, good location. We stayed in poolside double delux room while many guests were single staying in the dorm rooms. A young vibe.

Cons:

Expensive based on lack of simple things. Room for improvement to justify price.
- No choices at breakfast - modest portion
- No decaffeinated coffee
- No full-time reception / customer service, and often not there during stated hours 8-5pm
- No fridge in room
- Only 1 hand towel for 2 people
- No towels to take to beach
- Water-saving shower that sprayed everywhere (so not effective)
- No instructions for safety deposit box that required special knowledge to open it
