"Amazing little place with an amazing view!"

"a remote and quiet escape location"

"This resort was beautiful. A good bit off the beaten path but what a jewel when you get there! The rooms were quite spacious and lovely. There was a welcome gift when we arrived of fresh fruits. No matter where you are on the property, you can hear the waves crashing and it is glorious! The resort felt very exclusive and was populated but not crowded at all. Each time I went to the pool or any of the many options for laying out I felt like I had my preference. They had so many options of shaded or sunny spots to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings. There were several iguanas on the property that loved sunning themselves by the pools as well. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning that was included in our stay but our favorite was lunch. The guacamole was fabulous and paired with the chicken quesadillas it was perfect! This resort was excellent for relaxing. We also took advantage of the spa. The couple's massage with the sound of the ocean was fantastic! Easily one of our favorites of all time and we love a good spa day!! As I stated in the beginning, Azul hotel and retreat is off the beaten path and you will need to rent a car. I'd suggest flying into Liberia Airport but it will still be a long drive to ANY of the resorts, but a lot longer if you fly into San Juan like we did. I loved the Azul Hotel and Retreat and I'm very glad we found such a great place to stay with wonderful employees that took great care of us!"

"Words will not convey the breathtaking beauty you see entering this home. I actually cried when I walked through the house to the outside view. It is magical and breathtaking. We were greeted by two of the loveliest people who showed us the ins and outs of the home and were available to answer all our questions.This was our first time to Costa Rica and we learned alot. 1. Get local money - it's just easier. Unsure of what to do, we got less than we should have. 2. You get acclimated to the heat very quickly. The house opens all the way up and the breeze, fans and pool kept us cool during the day. We turned the AC on in our room about 15 minutes before bed and again when waking and slept perfectly.3. We experienced a few critters we saved from the house. Nothing we couldn't handle and having done our research, were expecting.4. Hit the local markets/grocery stores for snacks. There are restaurants, but for us, it was nice to be able to just stay home and enjoy the quiet.5. We drank tap water the entire time and were just fine, it's actually better than the water in Texas.6. Read the welcome book, there's some tips in there that are helpful.7. Get a 4x4 large SUV - we had a smallish one and managed just fine, but I think a larger one would have been less bumpy.8. Tipping is not required, but is appreciated.We've only been gone a few days and already miss it - we will 1000% go back."

"These pictures really do showcase this property. It’s a beautiful home. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable. You’ll have amazing sunset views and monkeys will be swinging in the trees around you. Our family of 7 stayed here for 6 days. The pool is a great size and we enjoyed dinner on the grill in the outdoor kitchen. The driveway is steep to get up but totally doable. We had a wonderful experience and we’ll be back. We highly recommend this property."

"A Spanish villa nestled 30 min north of Nosara in a gated community ideal for a quiet or peaceful retreat away from the tourists of Nosara especially during high season. Car highly recommended to else a local driver may be referred but cash only and for a hefty price. Views are amazing around here and 10-30 minutes away from a super market or civilization. Will definitely stay again."
