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
Verified traveler
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
