Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Es un hotel fenomenal, su ubicación permite unos atardeceres increíbles. El servicio y trato de sus colaboradores es muy cálido y cordial, realmente se esmeran por que uno se sienta bien. Deberían considerar cambiar los aires acondicionados de los cuartos por que están viejos y casi no enfrían. Tuvimos problemas con el primer cuarto asignado, nos cambiaron y el otro estaba igual."

Hotel Luna Azul

8/10 Good

"Fine"

Esh Hotel and Spa, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great week at Esh! The staff was very friendly and attentive. We loved the property and the pool. We made use of the sauna and cold plunge daily. We even saw monkeys while hanging out on the property. Yeh breakfast was delicious and plentiful keeping us full to start the day. Although the probably is a bit outside of town, the shuttle service is convenient to get to and from t e Esh to town."

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!!!"
