We really enjoyed the Lagarta Lodge, We explored to forest around the lodge and took the electric boat tour on the river. We saw lots of birds, monkeys and a few crocodiles. The food and service were great. Roads to get to Nosara were what I expected and not great but Bad Roads Bring Good People as the sign at the entrance says.

Fantastic hotel close to cool Nosara!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Everything about the hotel was superb, the spacious room, pool area, staff. Hotel is a short drive to the amazing local beaches (although hotel offers complimentary beach shuttle) and lively restaurants and bars of Nosara but tucked away on the hillside in the peace & quiet. Unexpected wonderful wildlife around the pool - lizards, hawks, howler monkeys, racoon families. Highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel

We had an amazing stay at Lagarta Lodge.It is really a five star boutique hotel. The location is perfect next to a wildlife preserve and the views are gorgeous of the ocean and the preserve. Everyone on staff is so friendly and very attentive. They are what makes it a great hotel. The room and terrace were quite large and had a beautiful view. There are two lovely Infiniti pools and the main restaurant and rooftop sunset bar and restaurant were open air with great servers. We also visited the spa for a deep tissue couples massage and it was one of the best ever. We will definitely visit again!!
