Loved every minute I was there. ##### Tracy Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### john m Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Drinks barely contained alcohol and were mostly ice and @ $21 each that’s ridiculous. Tips were included but when asked the waiter lied and said no they were not. Hotel attempted to charge me for services I did not receive. Some staff could have been friendlier. The housekeeper was excellent. The food was good. The pool was nice ##### john m Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### meridith Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful stay in nosara.
