Find hotels near Nosara Spanish Institute, Nosara from SAR 203

"The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms. The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic."

"Had an amazing time! Beautiful views, delicious inventive food at the on-site restaurant, and outstanding cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). The staff are very kind & seem to all make sure to know you by name. As others said the included laundry service is a really nice feature, daily cleaned clothes for yoga and beach means less extra clothing to pack or dirty laundry to travel with. Morning yoga classes were wonderful. Their shuttle drops you at their sister property serving same food from the main site & leaves a short <10 minute walk to the beach, and short walk to some shops and restaurants. Bugs are around as this is the jungle but nothing unmanageable, and good quality bug repellent cream resulted in getting barely any bites (sallyeander no bite me). The room has a bug repellent spray also. The morning cleaning leaves the room sparkling and fresh when you return from breakfast. Saw and heard a lot of cool animals- monkeys, frogs, large and small birds, etc. Can’t say enough good things about staying here."

"This hotel is adorable and perfect for travellers who want to save some money while staying in the jungle. The pool is small and intimate - perfect for plunges and cooling off while sun tanning, the yoga Shala overlooking the jungle is beautiful and staff are so friendly. Only issues I had here was I could hear the person in the next room over moving and coughing all night (no sound proofing and very thin walls with the shipping container design) and the bathroom and bed area had ants all of the walls (this isn’t a sanitation thing, it’s just the season in CR). Staff provided me with ant spray to control the spread and it seemed to work after a few hours. As long as you know about the thin walls and potential bugs based on the season in Nosara, this place is great. I also want too happy that I booked a double room w a terrace view overlooking the mountains but was “upgraded” to a triple room with a garden walk-out. As a solo traveller I wanted to more secluded double room w mountain terrace and didn’t want the extra bed. They had given my room to someone else by the time I checked in and didn’t want to honour my specific room booking type. "

"This is a great hotel to stay in if you just want to lie around in the sun but not eat"

"Quiet. Great location. Loved the remote feeling"

"We enjoyed being able to stay in a modest place that still had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Carlos was easy to communicate with and his aunt kept our place clean during our stay. This definitely was not an upscale home but it fit our needs perfectly."

"We absolutely loved the house. The privacy was unreal, the views were beautiful, and the house was more than we ever expected. It truly had everything we needed.The kitchen was huge, the layout was amazing, and having a washer and dryer was super convenient. We used the grill a couple of times—it was brand new, clean, and worked perfectly. The second-floor pool was such a cool touch and something we really enjoyed.We had an amazing time and would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend."

"This property is AMAZING!! Coltin is the best VRBO host I’ve ever had and we travel a lot. Coltin is basically a travel agent. He setup our transportation, excursions, chef, massages etc. the property was exquisite! It was clean, well stocked and a great location. If we go back to Costa Rica, I’ll definitely be looking up his other properties too! We had a group of 26 people and traveling with a group that big can be very stressful but Coltin made it so easy and actually relaxing. "

"Home was as advertised and Greg and Melissa were fantastic hosts. So enjoyed our time and would definitely return!"
