Gorgeous!!

We kicked off our honeymoon here, and loved it! The property is stunning, nestled in nature that makes it feel really private and lush. We loved the proximity to the beach, too (6ish minute walk) and nearby restaurants and bars. Breakfast was also incredible - one of the best I’ve ever had!

Charming Hotel!

Loved our stay at Hotel Guiones. Spaciale was a terrific host. Such a great Nosara vibe - very jungly, beautiful pool, restaurant, close to the beach, well stocked with drinks, paths around the rooms were well maintained and we loved our room - unusual to find a place with 3 beds. But our little patio was the best (see photo). Highly recommend!

Beautiful Stay. Kind Staff. Dream Come True

Absolutely beautiful garden and hotel. It felt like a little home away from home. Spacialle and Hector were the nicest staff and made sure we were comfortable the whole time - truly beautiful people. Our room was upgraded to the suite which was super spacious with a kitchenette and walk-in closet. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked wonderfully. My husband who is going through treatment for brain cancer was comfortable the whole time and I didn’t have to worry about him overheating during the hot week. I our stay here was a dream come true and so relaxing. I loved the swinging bench on our porch and the pool area was so gorgeous. They also helped arrange our pick up from LIR. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this hotel. The only thing I would mention is there are lots of steps, so it’s not handicap compatible in some areas, but my husband is still able to walk so we did just fine. Food is great - the complimentary breakfast was delicious. Location is pretty central to all the good stuff in Nosara. Stay here, you won’t regret it! Endlessly grateful for this beautiful place and time spent with my husband.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Gardens Hotel. The property was gorgeous, the salt water pool was very relaxing and refreshing, rooms were very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! The daily included breakfast was so delicious (get the breakfast burrito it's to die for!), and the spicy margarita at El local was one of the best I've ever had! To top it all off the staff super friendly and very accomodating. Elizabeth greeted us with a warm smile and hello every day, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves. Definitely recommend staying here if you're travelling to Nosara!

We stayed at Hotel Guiones for 7 nights and could not have been happier. Every morning, we started our day with a delicious breakfast with fresh, healthy ingredients made by the talented cooking staff. The coffee was superb! That was followed by yoga and stretching at the secluded yoga platform and then a swim in the saltwater pool. The pool area was a tropical oasis with lush, abundant foliage, a soothing waterfall and the gentle sounds of varied birds and other wildlife. We spent the afternoons exploring the pristine beaches and nearby nature trails, trying out fresh local dishes and tasty beverages in the nearby eateries and shopping at the lovely little shops of Playa Guiones. Evenings were spent watching gorgeous sunsets and then either dining out or heading back for dinner at the bar at Al Local, chatting with the surfing crowd who like to hang out there. All the staff at Hotel Guiones were exceptionally warm, gracious and helpful. Muchas gracias! We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return in the future. Pura Vida! S & G

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel borders the main road between Nosara and Samara which is very busy and super loud - trucks, ATVs, motocycles etc. If you’re in the rooms at the top of the property (1-6), it’s constant noise day and night which is frustrating in such a beautiful garden jungle. It’s far from peaceful and the nature ‘s sounds and tranquility are overpowered by the road’s constant bustle. Further down the property is a bit quieter.

A Delightful little place close to nature

We had a very nice stay at The Gardens. We had the large room on the second floor. There are only 11 rooms. The balcony with all the trees and pool area were very nice, and at sunset lots of birds, and even one-day monkeys. The restaurant was good, and especially the "our fish" dinners cooked by Chef Henry and Chef Emerson. We were very impressed with their delicious presentations of our freshly caught Tuna.

Non vale il prezzo

camera che avrebbe bisogno di manutenzione. Pulizie giornaliere gratuite ma solo su richiesta... Io dato il prezzo avevo dato per scontato che venissero fatte, dato che solitamente funziona così, anche in pensioni moooolto più economiche. Colazione compresa buona, ma a scelta tra... O, O. O caffè o succo. Ogni aggiunta si pagava... E ripeto, dato il prezzo... Non ci sta. Materassi vecchi e scomodi, prendevano da un lato. Asciugamani macchiati.
