Everything! The front desk staff, especially Ernesto, was very patient and welcoming. The views from the room, the pools, the restaurant were all incredible. Such a luxurious and relaxed vibe. The room was huge. The breakfast was delicious and satisfying. We did not want to ever leave! We also really enjoyed the tours with Santos, especially the E-boat.

This was our first trip with a baby - we had our 4 month old daughter with us and stayed here for 8 nights. It was truly exceptional. The staff is so thoughtful, kind, generous, gracious, and helpful. Our baby was in love with them all holding her while we got to eat meals. I am forever grateful to the lovely ladies working the front desk and restaurant - they made our trip so wonderful. Speaking of the meals, wow. Breakfast was awesome and has such a great menu that even being there for 8 days, it never got old. We also had dinner and lunch at the restaurant - also so great. The room was perfect and the free laundry service was so helpful with the baby. We even had a pack n play provided by the place to borrow making our travel even easier. We got to surf everyday with the ease of the ocean right down the epic jungle path. We watched monkeys for hours from our balcony, spent afternoons taking our baby in the pool for the first time, and could enjoy air conditioned naps in the hot afternoon. This will be a trip we hold dear forever as it was our first as parents and Olas Verdes will be remembered as the best possible place to spend it. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will be back for sure.

the food at the restaurant was some of the best that we had in Nosara. Also the best lemonade and margaritas! I loved that it didn't feel busy even though the hotel was full. There was always a spot by the pool and in the restaurant. Having surf board storage was very helpful. The staff was very friendly and helpful, particularly in booking restaurant reservations and transportation when needed.

If you love nature, wellness with a touch of reasonable luxury, this place is quite simply one of the best hotels for you. My wife and I fell in love and it quickly rose up to be one of our best ever stays. The staff were attentive to our every need and personalized our stay beautifully. The rooms were exceptional and the location is great. Everything worked out great on our first visit to Costa Rica because of Esh Hotel.

Breathtaking views from the room, restaurant, and all the hotel common places (even for the yoga classes!) as well as super friendly and welcoming staff. We particularly enjoyed the access to the Gilded Iguana surf club down at the beach (thanks to the hotel partnership), which made it very easy and comfortable to us to enjoy our surfing as well as the beach. Highly recommend Tierra Magnifica!! Would definitely go back

The staff at Hotel Guiones made my trip feel like home away from home. I stayed here solo but never felt lonely there. Alina in reception is amazing, from being so helpful making bookings for me before I even arrived, to greeting me with the warmest welcome when I arrived, to ensuring I had breakfast to take with me when I was leaving, she is gold! Jorge was a gem too, so kind and willing to help where he could. So friendly and even when I needed to change bookings it was never an issue. Thank you both! 🙏 Emmanuel is the restaurant was wonderful and so kind to help and encourage me with my Spanish learning. I’ve travelled around the world a lot but never have I met people that were so open, kind and welcoming. They truly made my stay so special! The location of this property is great, easy stroll to the beach, to all parts of town and just a short Tuk Tuk to La Luna (which I highly recommend for dining!) My room was beautiful and just as pictured, it was so clean, and airy. The coffee in the room was delicious! And there were really special moments of sitting in the hammock on my balcony watching the Iguana play or seeing the moon rise. Magic!
