### Residencias Samara

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous clean and well constructed property. Friendly staff. Very comfortable stay. Grounds were well maintained and very private from the outside town. Be advised there are two different locations, Residencias and Beachfront. We had a two bedroom unit with kitchenette in the Residencias. There looks to be several rooms above a restaurant at the Beachfront location. We had a 5 minute walk through town with access to the beach through the Beachfront location. Breakfast was NOT included in our stay but you could pay for a limited menu at the Beachfront location. Would definitely stay here again. "

### The Hideaway Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy and secure. Staff was friendly and helpful. I felt at home here. The restaurant was good. The property has small maintenance issues, like not all lights in rooms work, or some curtains are difficult to pull. But this is minor. I highly recommend these accommodations. "

### Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

6/10 Okay

"This is definitely a resort that caters to an older and less active clientele. Other than the pool there are no "activities" to speak of on the resort, other than tennis courts that are a 1/4 - 1/2 mile walk away from the main area. They were also short on pool chairs, so if you don't get there early you might not get one. The food was "good", but the options are very limited. Only 3 Lunch/Dinner restaurants and 1 Breakfast buffet. If you want food during the day you'll have to get it from the Pool Bar or flag someone down at the Main Bar. As for the bars, they don't open until 12pm and EVERYTHING shuts down promptly at 10pm. If you're looking for anything to do after that it had better be in town. The rooms were nice, but the water in the shower/tub/sink never got HOT and the room never really got cool enough to sleep comfortably. Overall, it was a very pretty resort, if not a little overpriced, and definitely for people at a slower pace."

### Montelaguna Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best hotel we stayed at in all of Costa Rica! Absolutely gorgeous property, beautiful pool, clean rooms, the most comfortable beds, and wonderful made to order breakfast. Geraldine, the breakfast waitress is a delight! She's so funny and personable despite the language barrier. We traveled with our 3 year old and we were delighted to find toys and children's books in the lovely sitting area. Such a big help for parents! I'm so happy we stayed here!"

### Olas Verdes Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What an incredible stay at Olas Verdes! In the quieter southern neighborhood of Guiones Beach, Nosara the property is as beachfront on the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica as you can get to a world class surf break… and man did we luck out! There was a southern swell pumping overhead high waves all week. CR protects its mangrove so there is a buffer of dry forrest/mangrove to the bern, but it is a beautiful trail, and not far. The facilities are terrific, modern and very clean. The staff is warm, very friendly and accommodating. My family stayed in suite 202 which was great for a spouse and 2 young elementary school kids on spring break. Breakfast was included and delicious every morning at El Manglar. We also ate at Beach Dog, El Ruco, Al Chile, Sendero Kitchen and La Ventanita which were close, fresh and surprisingly clean yet great eats. Would 100% recommend!"

### Nosara Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The beaches were unobstructed, the room was very clean, the bathroom and shower were excellent. The views are on unbeatable. The location being close to two beaches was excellent. The morning breakfast was very good as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was no exercise room, which would’ve been nice."
