"Wonderful stay at Lagarta Lodge. Many thanks to Kendal for the tour, Juliana for yoga class, Samuel at reception,and all the waiters in the dining room."

"The staff were a joy, the property beautiful and well kept, nice swimming pool and surrounds, large excellent breakfast. On our last day we saw Howler Monkeys a short distance on the road."

" Luis&Veronica are very friendly and accommodating. They have been very helpful by taking us to buy food, also dropping us off to various places to hike,and to go to nearby beaches etc. I would highly recommend this place to everyone interested in this area around Ostional,Costa Rica."

"A great trip. Located off the beaten path of tourism. The house, pool, scenery were more than we could imagine. Hosts were very responsive. "

"I come here often for peace and quiet. My resting place. Everytime it’s an amazing stay . Great yoga teachers love all their classes. Great food options. The smoothie bar is refreshing alongside the most beautiful pool. Easy walk into town with a nice hiking path to follow where you find little shops and great restaurants. Another path leads to beach . Really can’t go wrong with staying here . You have everything. Including a gym and other classes .Friendly staff . Always my go to place in Nosara. "

"We had a great stay with our family! The views are beautiful and the house had everything we needed for our first visit to Costa Rica! It does take a bit to get to town for food/beaches, but once the weather cleared and we got used to the roads we enjoyed our stay! The house managers were quick to respond with any questions and Dani our house concierge was very helpful in setting up tours, groceries, rental car, and transportation to and from the airport! Everything was clean well kept! Seeing the monkeys from our porch on the last two days was the hi-light of the trip!"

"We loved our stay. The pool was very nice and the home was gorgeous. Overall close to the beaches. It was about a 20-30 minute drive to the main touristy town for food and groceries. Although not a deal breaker we were disappointed in the kitchen amenities. Several cooking utensils were broken/ damaged and the knives were beyond dull. Dishwasher struggled to complete cycles despite multiple attempts. Additionally some light switches did not seem to work or potentially aren’t connected to anything? Despite a few negatives we would strongly consider staying again at this property in the future. We just hope the home owners spend a few dollars to update and replace a few items to complete the wonderful experience we had."

"Everything about the property and beach was what we were looking for. Quite not overpopulated. We walked the rocks and tidal pools for hours. Staff was friendly and attentive. Small bar and restaurant on property was great. We will be returning."

"Our stay was wonderful. Dani was so great and would honestly try to book another VRBO if Dani was the coordinator. We opted to use the shuttle service to get to and from the VRBO which I would recommend as we arrived shortly after 6pm and it was pitch dark. If we were traveling on our our own I highly suspect we could have easily gotten lost as the actual house locators are not marked that well. We rented vehicles for the week and if you have google maps or GPS on it isn't too difficult but in the dark it is very different. Super rugged and hills. ( We had to stop one night due to a large cow in the middle of the road) We went to Mirabella to the Tiki Hut for a sunset dinner as the beach has spectacular sunsets. (The house won't give you as good of a one) There is also a beach about 8-10 minutes from the house that we went to for a sunset that we just drove to and pulled off of the road and went down to the beach. We had howler monkeys hanging in the trees a couple of days and they did not disappoint!! We did have a couple of scorpions in the house which I won't deny freaked us out but they aren't massive and we killed them. They apparently are over populated. Our chef (Adrian) explained they are like a bees and will sting but unless you are allergic to bees you will be fine. Use lime or lemon to take the sting away. We had steak & lobster chef dinner - AMAZING! A couple small things -outside floor near shower can be super slippery so be careful! Great Trip!!!"
