Hotel Luna Azul

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. First night there we ate in the restaurant. We were the only people there watching the sunset over the pacific. Food was excellent. Service was stellar. We saw humming birds, tapir, tocan, and iguanas, all from the outdoor by the pool restaurant. Pool was clean and warm."

Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel

Rooms are always clean and the pool is amazing!"

Esh Hotel and Spa, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"SOLO TRAVELER REVIEW OMG where do I even begin. this place is indeed as wonderful as it looks and as amazing as the other reviews state it is. the staff all knew me by name literally within the first day. this hotel has an energy that allows your nervous system to completely relax. the aesthetics, the lighting, the music. as a solo traveler without a vehicle, the shuttle was perfect, it leaves from the hotel every hour on the hour from 8am-6pm and it has I think 5 stops around guiones and playa pelada. I also walked a lot which was fine and took lots of tuk tuks! (local "taxis"). The daily yoga classes were so lovely and grounding, and wonderful for all levels, even beginners. The daily breakfast was great, lots of options, and the included OJ was 10/10. Overall this hotel exceeded all my expectations and thank you to all the staff! Only thing I could say is that I wish the staff had name tags because they all remembered my name but I could not remember all theirs : )"

Luxe Modern Villa w/ pool yard at premium location

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house right in town and just a few minutes walk to beach. We had a great time surfing and really enjoyed the pool. House is well stocked with extra towels, blankets, and kitchen stuff. No dishwasher and no A/C in living room but you get used to it because everything is open air in Nosara. It was nice that the bedrooms had A/C. The TV connects to Netflix and Prime Video which is great for family movie nights. It was really nice that the house was cleaned mid-week and the pool was cleaned twice. I highly recommend for a family vacation!"

The Beach Break Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the location! The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Right in the heart of town it was easy to walk to any restaurant and easy walk to the beach! We will be back!!!"

Nosara Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I stayed in room 7 at Nosara Beach Hotel and the room was clean and nicely decorated, with incredible views of the jungle and the ocean from the balcony. The hotel staff is so kind, welcoming and helpful and if you don’t speak Spanish everyone there is bilingual and speaks excellent English. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, pool was exceptionally clean and so relaxing. We ate breakfast there daily, which was included, and it was all so delicious and the coffee was great. The ocean views from the restaurant terrace are absolutely stunning! The hotel has special access to Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada which was super convenient for our family with young kids. The hotel offers many activities including massages in your room, canopy/zip line tours, snorkeling on Pink Island, and much more. We didn’t have time to take advantage of their activities but we will definitely be back since there is so much to explore. We loved Nosara and this hotel offers the best location for beach and town access and is one of the closest hotels to the ocean. We did have a few ants in the room and one spider in the bathroom but we saw less the longer we were there- but you’re also in the jungle! We saw more insects at our home in Los Angeles than we did here. This hotel was wonderful and I’m so glad we got to stay there for our first, but not the last, trip to Costa Rica!"
