Yoga Getaway

Great small place to get away. Close to beach but will need to drive to get anywhere else. The on-site chef is AMAZING! Best 2 and 3 meals we ate while all over in CR for 2 weeks. Only downside is no A/C which made the nights a bit less comfortable in high summer.

Me and my mom loved so much staying here that we ended up extending for 2 more nights! The property is beautiful, and you can see lots of birds and monkeys. The room was spacious, clean with great beds and shower! It had a beautiful decoration and nice hammocks to relax! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the chef Junior is the best! The beach is just a 5 minutes walk and is so beautiful and tranquil! The staff was so kind and helpful, we loved everyone! Sandra also helped us a lot, making reservations and giving excellent tips and advices! They also have two dogs that are so cute and sweet! Try going one day for lunch or dinner to soda Olguita, delicious, fresh and cheap local food! It doesn’t have a sign, but it’s right after toñitos restaurant, just ask around! We miss every second and we hope to come back soon!

Fantastic hospitality from Sandra at reception and terrific breakfast from the chef. Both of them made the stay worthwhile. Now the minor gripes: there were a few bugs that kept appearing in the room, there was no shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom (only soap/handsoap), and the BnB is about 15 mins drive from the main hub in Nosara. There are 3 or 4 restaurants within 15 min walk but if you want more selection, you need a car or taxi.

Cute spot, amazing breakfast, great people!

El servicio fue tan personalizado, y el ambiente tan pacífico, lo recomendaríamos con gusto! Junior el chef nos hizo desayunos magníficos, y Sandra en la oficina nos ayudó a llamar unos tuk tuks - los dos de ellos son muy amables. La única cosa que diría es que sepa que está en un lugar un poco remoto, así que es bueno tener su propio carro, moto u otro transporte - o aprovechar de los tuk-tuks. The service was so personalized, and the vibe so peaceful ... We'd recommend this place! Junior, the chef, was super kind and easy to talk to, and made us amazing breakfasts each day, and Sandra in the office helped us with the tuk-tuks - both of them are really nice people! The only thing I'd say to be aware of is that the hotel is in a bit of a remote area, so it helps to have your own transportation - or take advantage of the tuk-tuks to get around.

Very comfortable villa"Rancho" close to reception

Very gracious and helpful staff, Jose, Gloria, and Deborah..a short hike to Playa Pelada, where you can walk the beach for miles. I reccomend getting a Tuk Tuk driver(we had Ulysses) who took us everywhere on a homegrown tour of the area. Will definitely come back to this charming retreat resort.

Comfortable, but pricey for location & facilities

The rooms are clean, quiet and reasonably comfortable. There is no air conditioning, but there is a fan that adequately cools the room for sleeping. There is a small fridge, sink and stovetop just outside the room. A continental breakfast is included from 8 - 9 am, but I had to leave before that time, so I didn't try it. Staff were friendly. The Retreat is located in Playa Pelada and is a short drive from Playa Guiones. Having stayed many times in the Nosara area, I found the nightly rate to be somewhat high for the location and facilities available.

We stayed at Nosara retreat for 3 nights. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. There was an issue with our room's fridge (which, honestly, we probably weren't going to use) and as a result we were immediately upgraded to a villa. The beach, which is wonderful, is an impossibly short walk away, and you're a 10 minute walk from Boca Nosara, which offers kayaking/horseback riding/4x4's.
