Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Restaurant was delicious and great value for money. Staff were exceptional. I felt so comfy travelling alone. Finally, the location was quiet, close to the beach and cool amenities and thankfully did not have the touristy feel of North Nosara.

Negative: I didnt like leaving !!

Summary: Excellent

Positive: We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool area, the foosball table was a fun way to spend some time. Loved how close the hotel was to the beach and the centre of town. I fell quite ill during my stay and the staff was super helpful. They brought my daughter and I bowls of chicken soup while I was recovering and made it very easy to extend our stay as we had to change flights. Also appreciated the 24 hour security staff and felt very safe in Nosara on the whole.

Negative: Some mornings were noisy quite early with maintenance crew and cleaning staff. But otherwise the hotel was mostly quiet.

Summary: Really enjoyed our stay and great proximity to everything we wanted

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Breakfast is included in the room fee. It’s a good breakfast. Choose from the menu. Nice little salt water pool. Outdoor shower is useful. Good restaurant adjoining property. Close to beach. Realistically a 7 minute walk, not 3 as stated in other places. The hotel staff will book you nearly anything you can think of through a series of local hospitality and tourism connections.

Negative: Our mini fridge stopped working mid stay. We couldn’t cool the bathroom with the ac since the window was always open and unable to be fully closed. But overall we dealt with it fine. Some ants in the room needed to be dispatched daily.

Summary: Great little spot.

Positive: Amazing staff! Every single staff member from the restaurant, to reception, to the cleaning staff was friendly, helpful and genuine. Great location! Very short walk to beautiful beach. The included breakfast was good, you had a menu to choose from. I had a special diet, so they let me pick and choose.

Negative: The location is great, but is expensive for 3 stars. It was not a problem, but just know going in that there are not a lot of extras for comfort. For example, no hair drier, basic bedding, and really just a simple room. I was comfortable, but it felt over priced. Great air conditioning!

Summary: I would go back for the location and staff!
