Sunset Shack is a great little hotel, centrally located in Nosara. It is a 5 min walk to the beach, which is its best feature. Breakfast at Al Chile was great, and the rooms were tidy and clean. The hotel itself doesn’t have many amenities and is not super luxurious, but if you’re main concern is location and a clean place to sleep, this is a great option. Staff was also helpful with arranging transfer for us to the airport and booking an ATV tour for us.

The concierge was so helpful, recommending restaurants and activities. He notified us of a scheduled area wide power outage and took care of making reservations for an ATV tour during the outage. The restaurant was fantastic, with large plates of fresh food and friendly service. Housekeeping kept the room clean and comfortable.
