Refugio Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Could not be happier! Augustin the manager and his staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. All my pain in the butt needs were taken care of promptly with a smile. Also shoutout to Eduardo my breakfast server. My room was super clean and convenient. Will definitely come back!"

Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly don’t even know where to begin with how special my stay at Domo was. This was so much more than just a beautiful place to stay — the level of care, warmth and hospitality completely made my trip to Nosara. From before I even arrived, the team went above and beyond. They took the time to speak with me beforehand, helped organise my itinerary and reservations, made sure my friend and I could be close together when she arrived, and were always available whenever I needed anything. Throughout the stay, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Whether it was helping with plans, organising food delivery after a long day out, making recommendations, or even helping make sure the car was clean before it was returned, they somehow thought of all the little things that make travelling feel effortless. But what I loved most was the people. Everyone was so genuinely kind, welcoming and caring. It never felt transactional or like I was simply staying at a hotel — it genuinely felt like coming home to friends at the end of each day. That feeling is incredibly rare when you travel, and it’s something I’ll remember most about Nosara. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful and has such a special atmosphere, but the people are what truly make Domo exceptional. I left Costa Rica feeling completely restored, and this place was such a huge part of that experience. I would come back in a heartbeat and genuinely could not recommend it enough. 🤍🇨🇷"

Hotel Tamarindo Village

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay not far from beaches and other activities."

Hotel Arco Iris

10/10 Excellent

"Superbe hôtel dans un coin calme, avec toutes les commodités. Les chambres sont grandes, propres et très confortables. L’hôtel est à une courte distance de l’animation et de la plage. Un super endroit!"

The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved The Guilded Iguana for so many reasons! The staff is excellent, the restaurant food is exceptional, and the property is gorgeous and well maintained. We will definitely be back!!!"

In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and modern facility. Excellent staff. Sandra seemed to appear almost instantly anytime we needed anything. The only complaint was the road to get to the property. It is unpaved and if you enter from one end it is deeply rutted, and washed away. The other end of the street was much less difficult to navigate, but still had a very large pothole. I doubt this is something that can or will be fixed anytime soon. It is what you learn to expect in Costa Rica. Bottom line, we would most certainly stay there again."
