Beautiful hotel in a prime Nosara location

Pros: Great hotel, prime location, very nice staff. It’s walking distance from the beach. Comfortable rooms.

Cons: There’s room for improvement with the food and service At the restaurant. Some of the food at the restaurant was poorly executed. Service at the restaurant could be better. Everyone was friendly but not entirely attentive. I was never offered to see a dessert menu; when I finished a drink I was not offered something else.

Beautiful modern hotel, with laid back surf vibe.

Pros: Beautiful hotel, a short walk away from the beach. Rooms were great, lovely decor, comfy beds, very clean. Salt water pool and short walk to hotel surf club, where you could rent boards and arrange lessons. Food was great and staff all very friendly. Laid back atmosphere and great restaurant.

Cons: The kids complained that the pool was too hot!! The only downside was the hotel was open to the road, so anyone could walk in, so had to be a bit more vigilant of belongings, but all very laid back.

We love Nosara, the hotel is perfectly positioned in the town, close to the beach and very friendly.

Pros: The hotel is very family orientated there were lots of teenagers and older kids around the pool area which we liked as our 3 children enjoyed socialising and meeting new friends. The hotel food was excellent. The staff are very friendly and they go out of their way to help you.
