"An unforgettable stay at Sendero Nosara I absolutely loved my stay! It’s perfectly located in the heart of Nosara. It’s just steps from the beach and within walking distance of amazing shops and restaurants. I came here to destress from busy city life, and the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The space is fresh, beautifully designed, and instantly feels like home. The entire team was wonderful — from the front desk to the bar, restaurant, management, and even the surf shack staff....

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...
