Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating. Rooms are often spacious with great views, but some feel basic or dated, with thin walls or sheer curtains that let in early light, and occasional insect issues. Breakfast earns frequent praise and lunch is available, though the hotel generally offers no dinner service and the bar and hot tub draw occasional complaints. Expect a beautiful, low-key stay in a remote, beachside setting.

This was our second time at the property and we had a good experience. The room was great (spacious, well maintained and has a BEAUTIFUL balcony view). The property in general is so beautiful and has stunning view points. Pool area is great and clean. The restaurant was pretty good (Breakfast was always good and also good lunch options). The staff in general was again great. The only downside of our stay was being bitten by one of their dogs that they were letting loose at the property. That was definitely not a great experience especially having kids in our group. After my complaint, at least for the remaining part of our stay, they kept the dog that attacked me (and a number of other guests) tight up. If wasn’t for this episode it would’ve been a Great experience.

There is ongoing construction going on around the property. This is noisy and there are workers all around. Our first room had an extreme amount of ants and we asked to be relocated. The second room was more updated in style but the same type of room. So its clear half are renovated and the other half are not. Breakfast was good each day. The rooms are very basic and not constructed or sealed very well. The location is beautiful but there is just a lack of ambiance and extra effort here. No music in any location. No information on the area or property despite being a "historic hotel". Just felt like it was missing all the finishing touches of a nice hotel.

Nosara Beach Hotel is a unique property where you experience a real connection to the Costa Rica pacific coast. Very intimate but with a lovely swimming pool and short walk to two very different beaches. Breakfast everyday was delicious and served by Elias, a young man who exemplifies the pura vida philosophy.

Close walk to Guiones beach but you have to drive all the way around (16min) to get to Guiones beach and village. The road to La Luna Restaurant should be lighted because the onsite restaurant closes at 4:00. The hotel needs some paint and facade repair. Very cool architecture. We saw a coati at the pool and other guests had seen some monkeys. Family friendly.

Nosara oldest development, this place is quirky and wonderful. Probably the best property in Nosara with a short walk to both Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff and uniquely late 1970s architecture.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this hotel is. The service was the best I have ever encountered!! The hotel is beautiful, the room was stunning, spacious, a big, clean, comfortable bed with just the right amount of amenities. The pool was sparkling clean and pretty. The grounds are lush and wonderful. The surfing lesson we took through the hotel was so great! The food at the restaurant was delicious.

We loved staying at Nosara Beach Hotel! The staff was extremely friendly, and the property is beautiful. The beaches were very nice. Food was delicious. Rooms were nice and spacious, and they did such a nice job refreshing the rooms for us each day. My only complaint is the thin walls which allow noise to carry very easily. We had some noisy young kids next to us that woke us up early in the mornings. But thin walls are to be expected for a historic hotel. We would return!

I demand a refund. The reception closed at 8 pm and the army ants crawled out from behind the mirror and literally the mattress at 9 pm. Plus the walls are paper thin and could hear the neighbors family activities. We received no response and ran away to another hotel for safety - I washed army ants out of my hair and clothes.

A really funky place, steps to two beautiful beaches. The staff is very friendly, and the view we had from the room was stunning. The restaurant at the hotel did not serve dinner, and even though it's within walking distance to many restaurants, the roads are really not designed for walking (narrow dirt roads with busy traffic) which is a shame. We also had quite a few big ants crawling in the bedroom and bathroom.

The hotel is very beautiful. Stuff was absolutely fantastic. However something really spoiled our stay at this hotel. The curtains on the windows are practically not existent. There are tiny white curtains on the windows (which I assume is part of beach property design and style) but it completely screwed our schedule (we are traveling with our 3 year old) the sunrise in Costa Rica is at 5.20 am however at 4.20 am it was very bright in the room. Both days we were awake way earlier than we wanted due to so much light in the room. We have a total of two weeks in Costa Rica and we never had such issue anywhere else we stayed. Luckily we only had two nights in nosara hotel. So I would totally rate this property at 5 star but I needed to mention this. A lot of families who travel with small kids and try to keep the schedule will have difficulty doing it. Blackout curtains are a must in any hotel!

Standout beachfront setting between Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones with sweeping ocean views and easy beach access. The area feels quiet and remote, and reaching town often requires driving on rough dirt roads.

The best part is the hotel being right on the beach. The ocean view from the room was truly breathtaking! The breakfast was excellent! And the beach and the water were amazing! The private access to the 2 beaches were super convenient! And the best part is - the walkable distance to catch a sunset dinner at La Luna. La Luna is a gem of a restaurant, and the staff at the Nosara is helping to reserve a spot. Truly a great experience overall!

Quiet, quaint and quirky! Breathtaking views! During our stay we enjoyed most pool hours to ourselves. The rooms and property are clean and well kept. Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones are a couple minutes walk away and both beaches are visible from locations on the property. Downtown Guiones is a quick 10 minute drive. Alexsander and Vanessa serve up a delicious breakfast each morning. The pool and breakfast view of the Pacific is non-negotiably the best in Nosara! Howler monkeys are easy to see and visit the pool and breakfast restaurant! Nosara Beach Hotel is a decision you won't regret!

Howler monkeys are easy to see and visit the pool and breakfast restaurant! Nosara Beach Hotel is a decision you won't regret!

Wow, this is a one of a kind experience. Within three minutes of your room there are two distinctively different beaches. These beaches are almost void of any other people. Nosara is extremely remote and has a tiny population. The water is beautiful one of the two beaches has some nice waves. The other beach is a great swimming beach. There are even shells for people who like to go shelling the ArchiText year, Greek or Moorish in design is incredibly unique the room categories are diverse. when I got to my room, I complained about not being able to see the ocean in the beach at which point in time the manager sent a crew of gardeners with chainsaws to clean out the brush and expose the most amazing view I have traveled the world seen some beautiful beaches, lived on Long Island, land of some of the nicest beaches in United States, been to Hawaii 20 times. But for me, the lack of commercialization, people, make this a true, isolated utopia.

Close walk to Guiones beach but you have to drive all the way around (16min) to get to Guiones beach and village. The road to La Luna Restaurant should be lighted because the onsite restaurant closes at 4:00. The hotel needs some paint and facade repair. Very cool architecture. We saw a coati at the pool and other guests had seen some monkeys. Family friendly.

Gorgeous, isolated place with friendly staff and easy access to beautiful beaches. Prepare yourself for the drive in, which is on a dirt road with lots of holes. If you rent a car, get the insurance. Lots of restaurants nearby you can drive to or catch one of their mini-taxis. The free breakfast is delicious, and the views are awesome. The hotel design and architecture are definitely very different and fun.

This was our second time at the property and we had a good experience. The room was great (spacious, well maintained and has a BEAUTIFUL balcony view). The property in general is so beautiful and has stunning view points. Pool area is great and clean. The restaurant was pretty good (Breakfast was always good and also good lunch options). The staff in general was again great. The only downside of our stay was being bitten by one of their dogs that they were letting loose at the property. That was definitely not a great experience especially having kids in our group. After my complaint, at least for the remaining part of our stay, they kept the dog that attacked me (and a number of other guests) tight up. If wasn’t for this episode it would’ve been a Great experience.

A really funky place, steps to two beautiful beaches. The staff is very friendly, and the view we had from the room was stunning. The restaurant at the hotel did not serve dinner, and even though it's within walking distance to many restaurants, the roads are really not designed for walking (narrow dirt roads with busy traffic) which is a shame. We also had quite a few big ants crawling in the bedroom and bathroom.

Coffee press and electric hot water pot for coffee and tea. We had a little balcony that was at tree teee top level so we could see monkeys.

Nosara Beach Hotel is a unique property where you experience a real connection to the Costa Rica pacific coast. Very intimate but with a lovely swimming pool and short walk to two very different beaches. Breakfast everyday was delicious and served by Elias, a young man who exemplifies the pura vida philosophy.

Albergo in ottima posizione davanti alla spiaggia Pelada. Colazione sottotono in rapporto al prezzo pagato. Camera datata ma molto spaziosa e accogliente. Purtroppo il ristorante dell’albergo non offre il servizio cena, ma c’è un buon ristorante a meno di 200 metri di distanza.

Nosara oldest development, this place is quirky and wonderful. Probably the best property in Nosara with a short walk to both Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff and uniquely late 1970s architecture.

The beaches were unobstructed, the room was very clean, the bathroom and shower were excellent. The views are on unbeatable. The location being close to two beaches was excellent. The morning breakfast was very good as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was no exercise room, which would’ve been nice.
