The Sunset Shack is the perfect place to stay for a surf trip in Nosara! It is quiet and chill compared to other places in the area, and it's a short walk down to the beach. Our room was very comfortable and a perfect size for our family. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and the food at Al Chile is fresh, delicious and nourishing. And reasonably priced. We so enjoyed our daily breakfasts and lunches. We also appreciate that the road is paved by the Sunset Shack as it keeps the dust down as compared to other places in the area. We loved relaxing by the pool and drinking fresh juice in between our surf sessions. Definitely make dinner reservations for every evening of your stay during busy times. We enjoyed multiple dinners at Al Chile, the Harmony Hotel, La Luna and the Guilded Iguana. ##### Sarah Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Petra Jul 14, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Laid back atmosphere, nice room with a mini kitchen, very comfortable beds, lovely pool, so close to the beach- wonderful! ##### Petra Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trina Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location!

Excellent location Great location close to the beach. A little quieter there vs right next to all the busiest restaurants. Issue with the AC one night but it was fixed promptly. Kids liked the pool ##### Todd Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Very nice and friendly place It is a lovely place. The staff at the reception and team at the restaurant are super friendly and make the stay very nice. Daily cleaning and huge size nice breakfasts! Every room has a kitchenette with a coffee maker which is nice. One thing that was a bit of wobble for me is that I stayed in room N1. Everyone was passing by. So you have to keep your windows always closed with curtains and it was dark and at times a bit nosy. It is not a cheap place but then Nosara is generally very expensive and comparing to other hotels it ended up been a reasonable deal. And the place is close to the beach. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kara Jan 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities LOCATION IS PHENOMENAL. Sunset Shack is the little sibling to Harmony Hotel across the street. My room was well tended to and breakfast is included at El Chile (nice surprise). Room and property were very clean, I did however find 2 large ants, and multiple little legged worms in my room over my stay which were easy enough to get in a cup and throw outside - not unexpected being in Costa Rica/Jungle territory. What I didn't know until my last day was that you can charge food from Harmony Hotel over to your room at Sunset Shack if you go over the the juice bar or restaurant so that's a handy hack if you don't want to be carrying your card around! Would definitely stay there again, perfect spot if you want to be close to Guiones/Surf (which was my intention) ##### Kara Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sheyla Jan 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me parece excelente el servicio y las instalaciones. ##### sheyla Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Javier F Aug 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience Amazing room, the staff was so friendly, the beach is so beautiful, definitely we are going to return! ##### Javier F Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria G.

Great location, very close to beach,short walk for food, we didn’t have a car so this was a must for us. Room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, all the extras we needed for a 2 week stay. Good breakfast. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Sweet Dreams Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Sweet-Dreams-Studios.h15641729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Acacia](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Acacia.h18529330.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Catalinas Doorway](https://www.expedia.ca/Tempate-Hotels-Las-Catalinas-Collection.h11046448.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
