Great place, beautiful property in an awesome location. You can do easy hikes through the adjacent reserve, if you walk down the beach you’re in town within 20-30 minutes. Food and service were great and staff was on point throughout the stay.

Fantastic views of Playa Nosara and Ostional from the heated, slat water pools. The rooms all have great views of the canopy and ocean and are simply, yet beautifully laid out and decorated. Definitely one of my favourite spots to stay in the Nosara area.

This property is worth the drive. Stunning property with superior hospitality. Had a wonderful deep tissue massage. Room was large, beautiful, comfortable, with lovely shower. Only thing that made me crazy was the light emitted from the ac unit. I like a very dark room to sleep and lots of light emitted from items in the room. Otherwise, perfect stay! Infinity pool was beyond gorgeous. I stayed there all day as it’s not chlorinated. Simply beautiful people and property!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious and comfortable. We liked the bathroom and the balcony, too. The views from our balcony and even more from the restaurant are spectacular. The greatest negative is access: there is really no good way to get there without traversing some really terrible roads, and when the road improves you have to turn off onto an access road that is around 1.5 km long and as badly rutted as any of them. Fortunately, the restaurant is rather good, because there is no way we would have ventured on that road after dark.

We stayed only one night at Lagarta Lodge to kick off our vacation in Nosara and I didn’t want to leave! The property is absolutely stunning with a very special view from high up looking out to the ocean, that other hotels in the area don’t have available to them. We did a biological reserve tour and a couples massage and they both were highlights of our entire trip. The food was also our top favorite meals. The staff is so attentive and kind, and easy to get in contact with instantly via WhatsApp. We really did feel like VIP. Would 1000% stay again and recommend anyone else to at least spend a couple of nights at Lagarta Lodge while in Nosara.
