Hotel Guiones

Really happy with our stay at this hotel. It is beautiful and has everything you would want. The pool is pretty and warm. The grounds are built right into the natural landscape so you really feel close to nature. There are a lot of developments around, which don't seem to be able to preserve so much of the vegetation, so it felt really nice to call this hotel home for the week. You are a close walk to the beach and the main drag of town and those restaurants. You can take the free hotel bikes and explore a little quicker. If you want to explore further I would recommend renting a golf cart, but we just stayed in town and went to the beach. Breakfast was great and lunch and dinner were pretty good too. They had recommendations for surfing and were able to get our COVID tests scheduled on premises. We stayed in the treehouse, which was really cool and unique, but unless you are from a city you may want to choose a different room since the road is pretty loud. The AC is far from the bed and I'm a hot sleeper so that didn't help either. Really cool room though since you have your own tiny house. Nosara is a great place with beautiful beaches and charming little beach town. Highly recommended for anyone. At first I thought it was annoying how there were no hotels on the beach, but the fact that it is protected the way it is, makes it even more special. Its a nice, quick walk too.

A group of us vacationed in Nosara last week. We rented a private home and made the most of our visit with surfing, adventuring and exploring. Four of us wanted to go horseback riding on the beach, but the outfitter I contacted did not return my call. While shopping in town, we stopped at the Gardens hotel to visit a custom jewelry design shop and I asked about horseback riding. The proprietor referred us to the hotel concierge. The three women in the office were incredibly helpful! They contacted their preferred outfitter, arranged for our horseback riding excursion, obtained all pricing and location information, and confirmed through WhatsApp. The following day, I received a confirmation email and assistance in confirming our meeting location with the excursion company. I had informed the staff upfront that we were not guests of the hotel, but they went above and beyond to set up our excursion simply to help us out. I cannot say enough about the level of customer service we received! I would stay at this location in a heartbeat next time.

We stayed at The Gardens for over 3 weeks and it became our home base, our trusted friend, our home away from home. The staff became like family. The location is perfect. The food is amazing (special shout out to Spacialle and Nati!). We were safe, comfortable, delighted and well taken care of. We were given excellent, insider, advice on surf lessons, massages, airport transport, restaurant reservations, hair salon, away trips, and more. Oh and strong wifi supported our need to be on calls from time to time. Highly recommend!!!

Hands down the best customer service EVER! The hotel manager reached out via What’s App daily to ensure we had everything we needed including Covid tests, hotel transfers, dining and fun reservations. She even helped us coordinate while we stayed at a separate hotel during our yoga retreat. Ok! The property was to DIE for! Those gardens!!! So gorgeous! Just so much love in one place. And no need to travel to Manuel Antonio to visit with monkeys, iguana or those weird ant eater/ monkey/ raccoon animals. All right out your window! Hammocks in every room balcony. Beautiful pool and wood floor open yoga/ workout room. Breakfast! Yyyuuummmmyyy! CR Coffee roasted right on the property and available in every room. Home made chocolates made from local cacao and nuts. I died and floated to deeeelicious heaven! Last, if you are missing your fur babies, there are 2 sweet, polite and clean pups that love cuddles and pets! There are not enough stars to represent my gratitude for this sweet hotel and lovely staff.
