Guest Reviews
- Jeff (10/5): -
- Eric (8/5): Great stay and very friendly people! - Excellent location, great access to beach and restaurants. Comfortable bed and pillows, clean room, great staff, AC worked great. Very spacious room and big shower. Bottled water provided anytime, great little patio and hammock. Kitchen noise very loud next to this room. No fridge, no coffee or other small snacks available.
- Rita (10/5): -
- Mariana (4/5): Sencillo pero bien puesto. OJO CUIDADO CON QUE SE APROVECHEN - El hotel es sencillo pero con bien gusto. Todo limpio y cómodo. El personal no es muy amable. Pedí insistentemente si nos podían colocar una cama adicional en una habitación de 3 personas (éramos 4). Me dijieron que no se podía porque no tenían habitación libre. Me propusieron que tome 2 habitaciones (muy costoso, si es que vamos 2 adultos y dos niños de 6 y 9). Al llegar, me hciieron pagar las dos habitaciones y luego me ofrecieron que si podiamos ir a 1habitacion de 3 pero pagando como si fueran dos. Eso me parecio MUY MAL, poco HONESTO. Nos sentimos engañados.
- Chalekian (5/5): Great little hotel for beach goers. There's a restaurant on the property. - The location to the beach is amazing - just a 2-3 minute walk. The family that runs the hotel is wonderful - they went above to make our stay enjoyable. Walking distance to restaurants. Common kitchen has filtered water. The rooms are very small, not much space for your luggage and hanging wet clothes. The pillows are bulky and too firm (we woke up with kinks in our necks). I thought breakfast was included with the room but it's extra, so that was a surprise (my fault). The hotel is right in town, which is great for getting around, but it's loud at night- lots of motorcycles going by.
- Anton (10/5): -
- Matthias (10/5): The perfect stay while in Nosara - We had a wonderful stay at La Negra Surf Hotel in Nosara. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and the managers Nina and Julian. They are not only incredibly friendly but also very relaxed and truly embody the “Pura Vida” spirit. They were always happy to help with anything we needed. The hotel itself is fantastic. Very clean rooms, thoughtfully designed, and functional while still feeling cozy. Its location is perfect, just a short distance from the beautiful Playa Guiones, making it ideal for beach days and surfing. Overall, it was a beautiful stay in an authentic place full of surfer vibes. We would definitely come back and highly recommend La Negra Surf Hotel to anyone visiting Nosara!
- Greg (10/5): Great location and excellent service! - We had an issue with our booking from Booking.com and Julian (New Manager) was able to resolve it and make sure we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this great place!
- Céline (9/5): - L’hôtel est idéalement situé à quelques pas de la plage, c’est assez rare à Nosara ! La chambre spacieuse disposait d’un très bel espace extérieur avec cuisine, hamac.. Très belle ambiance et surtout un très bon restaurant! Important de le signaler, car ce n’est pas le cas partout! Bar à cocktail sympa 🍾 L’hôtel a été refait et repris par un nouveau propriétaire depuis quelques mois. Bon séjour !

- Guest (10/5): Fun time - Isabel the manager was very helpful and commutative during my stay. Great location. Juan Carlos is the surf instructor and he was very helpful in getting a board with lesson.
- Florencia (9/5): - La ubicación cerca de la playa, la amabilidad de la gente y que tengan un café a pasos del hotel.
- ines (8/5): -
- Mirco (8/5): -
- Nicolas (7/5): -
- Sivada (8/5): - El lugar era tranquilo La piscina
- Alexander (9/5): - Wow! The set up at La Negra is excellent; - Perfect location, on a quiet back street, and as close to the beach and surf breaks as it is possible to get, through a short jungle walk - Great hospitality - Isabel and the team were really helpful and friendly, easily extending my stay, and create a great vibe - Excellent surf coaching - Juan Carlos is awesome, and really helped me progress my surfing. I am an infrequent middle aged surfer, and he took me back to basics to work through the proper foundation techniques, with quick progression to help me develop my skills - it gave me a lot of confidence, and clear improvements to my capability - he has a great approach and attitude, and I'd highly recommend booking a block of sessions with him, as that way you will get maximum benefits. - Great environment, with a relaxing pool area, good rooms, and the adjacent cafe serves excellent breakfast and delicious lunch Overall, amongst the best places I've stayed, and I definitely plan on returning.
- Anna (10/5): Cozy, comfortable, and an affordable price near the beach! - I really enjoyed the pool. It was a perfect cool down after a really hot day. I did laps back-and-forth and I love the atmosphere.. I also came in pretty late for my travels and I was able to do a self check in. They were kind enough to leave me my keys in a lock box that I was able to access no problem. I don’t have anything bad to say.
- Kevin (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (8/5): Great hotel with amazing Surf Lessons that make you feel like you are living in a treehouse next to the beach - Surf Class with Juan Carlos was amazing Has access to great brunch restaurant next door (Destiny Cafe) Room is clean and cozy Lacked a better space for organizing stuff and a table as well as no hairdryer
- Erickson (10/5): Lovely hotel near the beach - We loved this hotel, great location and close to the beach and great restaurants Nice pathway down to the beach with great surfing waves. We rented surf boards right from the hotel & took lessons with Juan Carlos who was so helpful! Would highly recommend a lesson with him The room was clean and there are a lot of great spots to sit by the pool.the pool was very nice. All of the food we had at destiny cade was phenomenal!! Definitely a must to eat here! Would highly recommend. It was located in a quieter part of town but close walk to everything .
- Andre (6/5): Pleasant experience. Unlikely we'll stay again. - Easy access to beach. Poor internet service. Room was located right behind kitchen so noise was a factor all day.
- María (9/5): We enjoyed the location as a family! - Location is absolutely amazing!!! I would improve the pillows :)
- G Scott (10/5): - Very comfortable and quieter than expected.
- Brandon (8/5): Very good -
- Shirley (9/5): The staff was very gracious and helpful. - We liked the location, the staff, and the restaurant. Our room was next to the kitchen and we could hear the people and the noise when they cooked. I thought the price was too high because of the room we got.
- Lynn (4/5): Disappointing -
- Keren (8/5): Amazing location and great vibes - The location is exceptional. Close to the beach, stores, bars, restaurants and coffee shops. The place has a very cool chill vibes and the staff is really nice and helpful with anything you need Some of the sheets had stains on them. On some mornings it was a little noisy from the restaurant just next to it ( I think they were doing some constructions)
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (10/5): perfect stay - I have stayed at La Negra several times, it is a lovely place in a fantastic location with direct access to the beach. The staff are all very helpful and kind, particularly Isabel on reception.
- Maureen (8/5): - Stayed 3 nights. Friendly staff, great breakfast and lunch option. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Basic room and bath. Comfortable bed.
- Arias (10/5): Loved it, will be back! - The best breakfast in town! information regarding booking for transportation, surfing etc before travel
- Hannah (4/5): Basic but nice. Photos are nicer than reality - Beachside location Lovely yoga space on site Basic but nice clean room 'Car park' listed was actually just roadside parking (our hire car was badly scraped down the entire length, presumably by something trying to squeeze down the road past it, staff didn't seem bothered when I mentioned it) No working oven/toaster/kettle/coffee machine in the communal kitchen - just a tap and a fridge Very noisy from 6am Reception was usually unmanned, as was the surfboard hire shop (it took us half a day to arrange a board) No room cleaning or top-up on provisions unless specifically requested. They asked for photo of the room on departure to prove we'd not stolen anything, which we found a bit weird!
- Mel (8/5): - -
- Monisha (6/5): - Great location by the beach, great cafe right at the hotel.
- Christopher (3/5): Poor - Location was nice Nosara is a fantastic destination that we're eager to return to. Nevertheless, I strongly advise seeking accommodations elsewhere, as there are numerous other hotel options to choose from. We were hopeful about enjoying our stay at Le Negra Surf Hotel, but unfortunately, it consistently fell short of our expectations. While the location and property grounds were indeed delightful, the customer service left much to be desired, marking it as one of the worst experiences we've encountered. I must emphasize that Isabel's performance was wholly inadequate. Here are a few incidents that illustrate our disappointment: 1) Isabel overcharged us by $585 during check-in. Despite more than 2 months of polite correspondence, she claims the refund is "processing." It became increasingly apparent that they're stalling, with no intention of reimbursing us. I eventually had to get Booking.com involved and they were able to get us our refund. 2) Despite reserving and paying for two queen rooms, we received one room with a queen bed and another with a cramped double bed, causing discomfort for two of us. 3) Our reservation included complimentary breakfast, yet each morning, confusion reigned over which items were included. This led to uncomfortable conversations and unexpected expenses, as the information provided each morning was inconsistent. 4) The cleanliness of the pool was consistently subpar, to the extent that we hesitated to swim. I eventually took matters into my own hands and ended up cleaning it daily with the net so my family and other guests could use it. Furthermore, we were informed on our third day that the pool would be closed for two days, compounding things. 5) Despite our polite requests for a single cleaning during our week-long stay, neither of our rooms were ever cleaned, a disappointing neglect of basic hospitality standards. Ah well - win some, lose some.
- Eliza (10/5): Exceptional - Location is prime for the surf. You literally cannot get closer! The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. The on site destiny cafe serves up some the the towns best breakfast/lunch options.
- Jeanne-marie (6/5): it was fine - No Breakfast, the room was super nice with a kitchen so we could cook one night. The hammock was great. The air conditioner was great. Close to the beach. No sense of reception at all. The receptionist was just not there most of the time so we couldn't ask questions or get extra towels easily.
- Vicente (8/5): - Great little hotel. Excellent friendly staff, comfortable rooms with A/C (a must in Nosara). Few steps from Playa Guiones and walking distance from shops and restaurants (go to Rosie’s Soda for best tico food)
- Alison (10/5): Dreamy little boutique hotel steps from the beach - Absolutely incredible stay at La Negra Surf Hotel. Rooms were spotless, modern, and well equipped and we loved our huge patio with hammock. The common area around the pool is beautiful and Destiny, the restaurant, is absolutely delicious (get the poke bowl, monkey coffee, and a cucumber margarita). Our server Melanie was the absolute sweetest, Isabel the manager was so kind, helpful and responsive, and Marian the groundskeeper was funny and so friendly! Best part - Playa Guiones is literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel on a little path thru the trees. Super quiet and relaxing, even with a very busy restaurant on the property. Isabel gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants for dinner (Pacifica Azul and Howler’s) which were both delicious. Will absolutely be back next time we come to Nosara and felt it was a good price (especially considering the prices of nearby hotels and that it’s closer to the beach than any of them)! Pura vida!
- Gerard (3/5): Uncomfortable and not worth the price - Close to the beach No AC. Lost Power often. No water one day
- Scott (10/5): - The rooms are practical, nice and clean. Not lux accommodations or prices, a very good value. The employees at the hotel (especially Isabel) and at the Destiny Restaurant on the property are all courteous, friendly and helpful. We took surf lessons on site. Ivan was our instructor. Patient and helpful. We had success! Many thanks for making our time there special. Pura Vida!
- Christine (10/5): - The staff is so accommodating. Isabel and Enrique are so friendly. Rooms are simple , but clean .
- Tobye (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Emma (8/5): Very good - Great location and great comfy room! Would highly recommend. The breakfast and check in process was a little disorganized
- Michael (10/5): Very relaxed, friendly and perfectly located. - 2 min walk from the beach and great local spots for food. They also have a workout room you can practice yoga/ workouts etc which was great. Love it here. The restaurant wasn’t open while we were there but they are due to reopen in a couple days and there’s plenty nearby so wasn’t a problem.
- audrey (10/5): - Fantastic location right by the beach! Staff was great, especially Isabel who was super helpful. My room was clean and the patio was definitely super enjoyable. I am already booking my next trip :)
- Pablo (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet, staff very friendly and helpful, the rooms are amazing
- Anja (6/5): It was pleasant, I enjoyed the cafe and easy access to the beach - I loved how big and spacious the room was The pillows were very uncomfortable, hard as a rock. The water was dirty coming out of the tap and the room didn’t have any curtains so it was very bright in there I couldn’t sleep in or relax in the day for a nap.
- Jah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marina (9/5): Superb -
- Olivia (9/5): Superb -
- Doug (10/5): Attentive staff, great restaurant, best possible location in guiones. - Perfect location, great restaurant- breakfast included at the best breakfast in Nosara!
- Jenni (8/5): Affordable + great location - location was perfect. Super close to the beach. Around the corner from restaurants and shops. Nice dipping pool. And the free breakfast was amazing cafe downstairs) There was construction across the street (not the hotel's fault). Tough to avoid construction in Nosara now. Bed wasn't super comfortable but it was fine. Noticed bugs in the room. But that is every Nosara hotel, so can't fault them.
- Vera (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Harry (8/5): Very good -
- Ashlin (2/5): really disappointed with the amount of money I paid… was the worst place I’ve ever stayed and feel upset because of how - bed, location 1. dead crabs in the pool - was dirty 2. keys didn’t work when entering the property. 3. blinds fell off with sharpe spikes missing my back (nearly cutting it open) 4. cut my foot on some open wood and my foot was gushing with blood everywhere.
- Hachi (9/5): Superb -
- Scott (10/5): Excellent for a surf hotel - La Negra is a small but very nice hotel in an amazing location. The breakfast was amazing and the staff very helpful and friendly. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel, Destiny is great for lunch. Very close to the beach and walking distance to many great restaurants.
- robert (10/5): - Excellent location and restaurant.
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
- Jeffrey (10/5): Fabulous Boutique Hotel - Could not have enjoyed it more. The food, location, cleanliness, and overall vibe was excellent. The staff from Derek (the owner), to Louise (the manager), to Ivan (the surf instructor), to all the wonderful people in the restaurant, and all the cleaning staff, could not have been more helpful or courteous in making sure we had a great stay. Thank you La Negra and looking forward to coming back.
- Katja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Evan (10/5): Have stayed at La Negra many times and it never disappoints. We did miss the bar they used to have. - Free breakfast from Destiny every day was excellent!
- Monika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Salli (10/5): nosara is very busy and there is a lot of construction everywhere so there's a lot of noise. Our room was our refuge - we had a suite upstairs. It was very private and so beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the open air living area because it was blazing hot outside. It was a lovely refuge. We loved the pool! The area around the pool could be cleaned up and spiffed up a little bit
- Dominique (4/5): Disappointing - Great location, cute space. It was soooooooo loud. Our unit was literally between the kitchen and the restaurant. It was way too loud - we could hear pots/pans, staff yelling, the unit above, people walking by and talking. Was not ideal for rest. There were also lot of ants and flies :(
- Simone (7/5): Me and my sister had such a nice stay at La Negra. The hotel staff was amazing <3 -
- Caroline (6/5): - We stayed at La Negra in 2018 and absolutely loved it! This is the reason why we returned for our honeymoon in February 2023 and stayed 4 nights. We were very disappointed in our stay as things have changed and not for the best, in our opinion. It was great that breakfast was included in the price but when the restaurant was closed, we had to wait an extremely long time to be served (30 minutes for a coffee) and the options were very limited. When the restaurant, which is opened to the public, was opened, the wait time was even longer and the noise was unbearable….not to mention the construction right across the street! We much preferred our first experience when there was a self-serve coffee area and quietness! We were looking forward to waking up in the morning and serving our own coffees and sitting quietly by the pool. We could not relax by the pool on hot afternoons as the restaurant was always busy and the noise of the people and BLENDERS took away any sense of peace and tranquility. They even moved the surfing boards cage right beside the rooms which means you cannot sleep-in as you can hear everything very clearly. There is also an iguana living in the ceiling of room 7 so be warned as you will hear it move around all the time (we were told he’s been living there for a few years). For those returning to La Negra, be prepared for a very big change and constant noise! Had we known about all of these changes and constant noise, we would have not stayed there again.
- Genevieve (8/5): Very good - Walking to the beach every morning, the best healthy breakfast and lunch restaurant, the kindness of the staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel was very nice. The pool is great and the attached restaurant was super yummy. Proximity to the beach was also good. I would recommend it to anyone.
- Scott (8/5): Very good -
- Melissa (10/5): - Great room and amazing restaurant
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I liked the simple modern style. It’s a surfers dream place. Great proximity to Guiones beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Simple, unique style; communal but also good for independent travelers who like privacy; great location - closest place to the beach I have stayed in Nosara (has a direct path through the greenery to a central beach location) and right in the middle to go either direction for local spots -- restaurants, surf shops, etc. Highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (4/5): 2* surfing hotel with 4* price. - Okay hotel if you are a surfer or 20 something looking for a laid back no frills place. It's not a $230 hotel but ok at 1/2 that price. The good: as close to the beach as you can get in Nosara. Decent room, all simple and minimalist. Small but clean with a good bed and pillows. Good breakfast and dinner but not included in the room price. Nosara is a funky town with so many surf shops and yoga and fitness places. Very trendy food places--veggie, gluten free, vegan, organic, etc. Upscale boutiques. Expensive real estate. The place has been discovered but maintains a beach bum surfer vibe but with US prices Great surfing beach. The bad: tons of ants and a few spiders in the room. The pool looked sketchy. The only one who went in was the dog and he wouldn't even go all the way in. Horrible wifi. Glad we rented a unit with our car. Pretty small and unkempt grounds. Lots of minor issues that just made the place unpleasant. Left after 2 nights.
- Kira (8/5): I would stay at La Negra again! - We had a wonderful stay at La Negra Surf & Soda and we would stay there again. It is beach close (100 yards) accessed by a path straight to the sand. The inner court yard of the hotel is a nice gathering place, laying by the pool, reading a book, or socializing with the hotel guests. Surf boards can be rented on site. Our room was cleaned each day, and the staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and accommodating. In addition to the great food that is cooked by the hotel chef, there are many great restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.
- Brent (10/5): Nice clean spot, short walk to the beach. - Excellent boutique hotel w restaurant close to the beach in guinones. Check in was easy, rooms are simple but very clean. Staff recommended a guide service to see turtles at Ostional which worked out perfectly as the trip to the area was specifically to do so. Food at the soda is very good and staff gave excellent recommendations for other restaurants in the area. Definitely would stay here again.
- JD (10/5): Amazing stay at La Negra! - I've stayed at a lot of hotels in Nosara and La Negra is my new favorite. Great location, comfortable cool rooms, great people and amazing food. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I'll definitely be back soon.
