2.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (67)
"This resort has seen better days! Most of the structures are older and have not been kept in good repair. Wood decking around pool area is coming loose and is hazardous. Pool itself needs repairs. Rooms are more rustic but have modern combo locks on dorrs. our lock malfunctioned, so we were upgraded to the deluxe "house". This was much bigger and better with a full kitchen, and was further from the main road which meant it was quieter. staying in units near the road would be very loud. Staff was...

"Our entire experience was fantastic. The rooms are lovely, the garden/grounds are impeccably well taken care of, and the staff (including the owners) were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious (as was their special brand of organic Costa Rican coffee) and the coconut marg was a hit. It is an easy walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. We will be booking again. "

"First off, visitors need to understand that this is a hostel, not a hotel - reviewers who expected hotel-like amenities may not have understood what a hostel is. That said, the location, staff, and general atmosphere at Nosara Beach Hostel were excellent! This was my first time to stay in a hostel, and I recommend it without hesitation. The room was a bit warm at night, but I expected that, so it did not impact my enjoyment. The room, bathrooms, and grounds were clean; the staff was friendly...

"The Host Ben is very responsive and kind. I wanted to experience living among the Ticos and we loved it. This place is unique and cozy for the 4 of us girls. There are some minor upgrades needed but we are so easygoing that it was not a bother. We survived a huge thunderstorm and no power for just a couple hours. The property has 2 cats. Also each bedroom has air conditioning and we enjoyed Netflix in the evening. This area is definitely a surf town and several restaurants walking distance....
