Olas Verdes Hotel

Everything! The reception staff were very welcoming, informative, and helpful. They booked restaurants and excursions for us. They gave us a tour of the facility pointing out all of the amenities we may be interested in. Then they showed us to our rooms. They explained how to use the safe, provided a complimentary stainless steel water bottle, complimentary laundry service, and complimentary breakfast at the wonderful on-site restaurant. Local coffee and organic tea was provided. The entire facility was very clean and tidy. I loved my room. It had a balcony above the pool, at tree canopy height. It was private, quiet. A wonderful place to just sit and enjoy being outside. The bed and bedroom was air-conditioned and very comfortable. The restaurant staff, menu, and food quality were superb! All of the staff were very attentive to our needs, efficient, capable, patient, courteous, friendly, generous, and kind. And it was a short walk to a beautiful beach and glorious sunsets! I highly recommend Olas Verdes!

Does not apply. Everything was wonderful!

Nothing not to like, it's idyllic

Our bedroom didn't get cool enough, but that's our fault for not getting used to the heat.

Comfort

A bit isolated location

This was our first trip with a baby - we had our 4 month old daughter with us and stayed here for 8 nights. It was truly exceptional. The staff is so thoughtful, kind, generous, gracious, and helpful. Our baby was in love with them all holding her while we got to eat meals. I am forever grateful to the lovely ladies working the front desk and restaurant - they made our trip so wonderful. Speaking of the meals, wow. Breakfast was awesome and has such a great menu that even being there for 8 days, it never got old. We also had dinner and lunch at the restaurant - also so great. The room was perfect and the free laundry service was so helpful with the baby. We even had a pack n play provided by the place to borrow making our travel even easier. We got to surf everyday with the ease of the ocean right down the epic jungle path. We watched monkeys for hours from our balcony, spent afternoons taking our baby in the pool for the first time, and could enjoy air conditioned naps in the hot afternoon. This will be a trip we hold dear forever as it was our first as parents and Olas Verdes will be remembered as the best possible place to spend it. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will be back for sure.

Olas Verdes is in the quiet part of Nosara, as close to the beach as you can get, and a short walk to restaurants if you decide to eat off property. The hotel is LEED certified. It strives to be zero waste and the grounds are beautiful. It is a peaceful little oasis and has exactly what you need. Our room was a suite and extremely spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. They left us coffee and juice for the morning and the included breakfast was amazing. All of the staff were wonderful. Their pictures do not do it justice. There are hipper hotels but not nicer hotels in terms of amenities, staff, hospitality, and location. We loved our stay.

We did not have any complaints about the property. The couch in our room was a little tired and uncomfortable but that is about the only bad thing I can say.

Loved the overall atmosphere. The restaurant was really nice, lots of choice and super helpful and kind staff. Delicious food. The front desk team were also very friendly and helpful. It’s very near the beach. My room was spacious and comfortable. Nice bed, linen, towels.

I had to keep the curtains of my room shut and bathroom also the whole time as gardeners /staff were walking right by the window. There was no privacy. The pool area is not large and right by reception and restaurant so lots of traffic going . Not very relaxing. Other pool had a construction site right next to it. The Wi-Fi in my bedroom didn’t work at all, I had to be in the kitchen area.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel with lovely grounds, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and an excellent restaurant. Parrots and iguanas roam the treetops, the pool is lovely and peaceful, and all bedrooms have air conditioning. Beach access is only 5 minutes away and you can get there by walking along the road or taking the scenic (but sometimes muddy) path through the mangroves.

The water pressure in the shower is really low, which means longer showers to get the beach out of your hair, defeating the purpose of saving water through low pressure nozzles. This was our family's number one complaint. Everything else was nearly perfect.
