We loved our stay at Lagarta Lodge! Yes, the road uphill i dusty and bumpy. But well worth it. One of the best eco-lodges we have ever stayed at. ...The scenic location overlooking the confluence of Rio Nosara and the ocean fosters an impressive array of birds, monkeys, coati and other wildlife. ...

The room was nice but dark. I suppose the rooms on the second floor are nicer. The staff didn’t seems to like their job. Or tired of girats maybe. Nice pool area. Note that this is a family hotel. It is not a calm romantic place. Breakfast was poor. I think that americans are the target for this ...

6/10 (1 review)
Great overall just one really inconvenient thing was that for our 3 night stay we had to change room every single day which was a hassle and forced us to be at the property to do the moving every day at 1pm when we could have been at the beach or in town.

2/5 - Disappointing
Guest
Most disappointing is the roads are awful and have turned us off returning to this area. VERY gravelly and dusty. 4 wheel drive recommended if you are driving- esp in rainy weather. Get a shuttle to avoid the driving hassle but then you are stuck :(
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
The roads to arrive and in the area are quite poor. Gravel, washouts etc. Give extra time to drive. But this has nothing to do with Nosara itself. Just an fyi.
5/5 - Excellent

Roads can be interesting and a little rough depending on the time of year, but the entire area was incredible! Bad roads bring good people!
5/5 - Excellent

I would highly recommend the Gilded Iguana to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway
