The 14 Best Luxury Hotels in Nosara (2026)

Guest Review: This perfect size hotel is in the most perfect spot for tourists! 2 minutes to the beach for some surfing, close to a whack of shops and amazing restaurants and right across the street you will find a small super market. The staff Carol and Juan are the most welcoming hosts and you will find them in the front office looking after security and people checking in and out. They are so happy to help with anything and everything, truly amazing people. Laura was our chef for the week, we had amazing coffee and a different breakfast each morning, fresh fruit always available ! The pool and grounds are constantly maintained. We loved our stay at 10 North Hotel in Tamarindo :) thank you all for such great service !

Guest Review: Azul Hotel & Retreat was a perfect and peaceful escape. Our room was clean and very comfortable with an amazing view of the ocean. The wait staff were all excellent and incredibly friendly.

Guest Review: 5 Stars in every way! Allow me to explain…Here is the review that you need - and, from a very seasoned traveler. I was fortunate to have rented the classic room for over 2 weeks at “Les Voiles Blanches.” For ease of writing this review, I’ll refer to the hotel as LVB (for short). Location (5 stars - close to the action but, not too close): LVB is an 1 hour 10 minutes from the Liberia Airport (Joe can help to arrange a shuttle) or go online and rent a car (my suggestion - 3rd party liability insurance is NOT covered by your credit card and is typically 2x-3x the daily price of the rental…so please take this into consideration). LVB is 12-14 minutes car ride to/from the center of Tamarindo Beach. Please read this again! This is a luxury property where you can get to places fairly easily by car, but it’s no one that is walkable to shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Playa Grande is about 25 min (nice beach), Villa Real is 5 minutes (small markets, shops, quick eats) Avellanas Beach is about 20 minutes (beautiful and quiet beach with incredible authentic Italian restaurant called Il Rustico). Joe can also help to schedule tours, surf lessons, etc. And, he’s very resourceful-so, if he doesn’t know…he can still help you. I have given them the suggestion to have shuttles going into and out to Tamarindo each day. Once the place is consistently fully booked, they will definitely need to do this. But, if you’re renting a car, this won’t be a factor. Food (BREAKFAST OF THE STARS). Joe and Isa are former successful restaurateurs back home in Ottawa, Canada. Their breakfasts (that are included) are INCREDIBLE (each day the menu changes, and they are very flexible with you about your dietary restrictions). They have small refrigerators in each place (they start you off with a couple of water bottles), but you can totally go to a local market/mercado and stock up with drinks, alcohol, and snacks.
