Top Nicoya Hotel Reviews
The Beach Break Surf Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Small attentive staff. Super friendly. Convenient for beach living and access."
Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property and extremely helpful staff. We loved it!"
Esh Hotel and Spa, a Member of Design Hotels
10/10 Excellent
"The property is beautiful and the staff was very friendly."
Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing room with amazing staff!"
Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"What can I say? This was the R&R that was much needed - secluded, sophisticated and sleek! Domo Nosaro is located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, about 90 mins south of Tamarindo. The roads are lush with foliage - and the small stretch leading up to Domo is rough terrain, it is only for about 3 mins - and once you have reached the lodge, you will be well rewarded with its sheet beauty. Check in was a breeze (and in fact we were slightly early - and we were immediately welcomed and provided a room). A few small handy notes: (i) there is no elevator, so luggage has to be carried up - no worries though, as the helpful staff will lend you a hand; (ii) there is no onsite cafe - no worries because the Sunrise cafe and other choice eateries such as Pulpo, are literally a stone's throw away - and their food is on point; (iii) there is no TV because this is an eco-lodge designed for seclusion - no worries though as the wifi is strong and you will be instragramming every 5 seconds anyway! What you will see the spectacular lounge areas overlooking the salt water pool - the temperature is just right (neither warm nor cold - just superbly comfortable) - and pool and beach towels are provided. The rooms are luxurious in a Mediterranean style that truly makes you feel like you got away into the lap of luxury - and the windows overlook plants that are teeming with butterflies and birds! The sound of howler monkeys wakes you up in the morning - and time just flies...wish I had longer!"

10/10 Excellent

Residencias Samara
10/10 Excellent
"We had a late flight and arrived late, but were given excellent directions which made checking in seamless and easy. The location was close to the beach, very convenient, clean and quiet. We loved our stay here!"
Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows
10/10 Excellent
"I love this place. The location is excellent just near to the quiet beach. Infinite pool is awesome"
