Waves crash against pristine beaches where surfers and yogis find their bliss in equal measure. Blue Flag beaches like Guiones offer world-class breaks for experienced surfers and gentle stretches for beginners. The Ostional Wildlife Refuge provides front-row seats to one of nature's most spectacular shows when sea turtles arrive en masse to nest. Howler monkeys provide the soundtrack to morning hikes through the Nosara Biological Reserve's jungle paths. After catching waves at Safari Surf School, refuel at one of the many organic smoothie bars that line the main road. Playa Pelada's tide pools offer perfect sunset viewing, while nearby Garza Beach provides a quieter alternative when Guiones gets crowded.
"Wow — my family has never experienced such hospitality! This hotel deserves 10+ stars for not only location, cleanliness, comfort and amenities, but the added touches of getting our room ready for our family and celebration of our anniversary with a bottle of wine, included breakfast, complimentary stainless steel water bottles, and complimentary laundry washed, dried and folded for us was impeccable and sets a new standard for superior service. The concierge was able to answer all our questions via WhatsApp which made it easy to explore the area on the go. To boot, the hotel helped us get breakfast to go on our last day because we were flying early. We would come back to Nosara just to spend time at Olas Verdes hotel. Thanks to all who helped make our experience more than memorable for our family!"
"Came here as part of a family trip and honestly wasn't sure what to expect from a boutique hotel tucked into the jungle.
Left completely blown away.
The staff is what sets this place apart, from the front desk to the restaurant team — is genuinely warm. Not "hotel-trained warm," but actually present and attentive. They remember your name, they check in on you, and they do it without being intrusive, they go above and beyond on multiple occasions. You feel like a guest in someone's home, not a room number.
The food at Almar is seriously no joke. I've eaten at some great spots and this restaurant punched above its weight in a big way. Chef Hugo puts real thought and care into every plate — local ingredients, clean flavors, beautiful presentation. And breakfast every morning was something I actually looked forward to.
We ate there every single morning and never got tired of it.
The daily yoga class was a nice surprise too. I don't have a regular practice at home but I showed up most mornings and it genuinely added something to the trip. The instructors know what they are doing and makes it accessible no matter your level. Hard to beat starting your day with that, surrounded by jungle.
The vibe here is intentional — slow, calm, adults only. If you're looking for a party hotel, this isn't it. But if you want to actually decompress, eat really well, and be taken care of by people who actually seem to enjoy what they do — ESH is the one."
"Centrally located but quiet. Great staff. Beautiful pool and shared kitchen and cabana area.
For the price, it’s very good/what you would expect. The rooms are simple and parts of the facility are old, but that is why it is priced more affordably than other hotels.
I would definitely stay there again if I stay in the same financial bracket.
If I had more money, I would ideally like to have a more comfortable mattress and newer windows that close fully and no smell of mold.
But all in all, me and my son were very grateful for this charming place that gave us a place to land and lay our heads and have some respite from the hot humidity outside. We loved the pool and the fact that delicious restaurants and beautiful beaches were just a few minutes walk."
"The staff were accommodating and always willing to help. Our room was lovely and as advertised online. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. The pools were wonderful and our spa experience was extremely positive.
Overall good value for dollar.
Our only complaint would be the cost of a poolside drink - it was wild!"
"The ocean views were amazing! The breakfast was consistently delicious. The staff was always helpful and very friendly. We had a small issue with our room (no fault of the hotel) and the manager quickly offered us an upgrade to a beautiful suite.
There is access via a walking path to two separate beaches, and many dining options nearby (Guiones is a short 15 minute walk down the beach for more options). Overall a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the ocean, the sun, and the spectacular sunsets."
"La Negra is a quaint hotel that is perfect for surfers, or travelers who want a stress-free experience. The hotel is a one minute walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops nearby. The owners are wonderful and you will feel at home as soon as you arrive. "
