What an AMAZING hotel! The location is perfect, just a 1 min walk to the beach through stunning jungle on a private path and a 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Everything about the hotel was perfect for us, the room was beautiful and we loved the private outside space to sit and watch monkey, birds, iguanas & geckos while enjoying a nice cold beer. Both pools were very welcome after a busy day exploring and the food was delicious. I think the best thing about the hotel was all the staff! They were so friendly, always happy to chat, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear they all enjoy their jobs as they were always smiling, happy and laughing with each other giving the hotel a very friendly and relaxed feel. Ines and Nikole on the front desk in particular went above and beyond helping with restaurant suggestions and bookings even sending me menu’s from a number of local restaurants so I could check there would be something my fussy son would eat! Not to mention telling us the best place to go to find local handmade souvenirs.

Having to leave!

Everything. The location of this hotel is ideal. You walk through a lovely jungle for 3-5 mins to access the beach, and the walk was one of the highlights of my one-week stay at this hotel! The service at this hotel was superb. Really, I’ve stayed at many high end hotels but services at this one by far is the friendliest and most genuine. The staffs were always there to help with anything I needed. The rooms are not fancy but they are more than functional, spacious, and comfortable. The hotel is boutique so not too crowded or noisy. I checked out some other hotels nearby (some have higher star ratings) but I still found Olas Verdes the best and nicest overall. The food and drinks at the onsite restaurant were also excellent. Love the vibe sitting at the bar.

Wish I could stay longer!

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.

Loved the overall atmosphere. The restaurant was really nice, lots of choice and super helpful and kind staff. Delicious food. The front desk team were also very friendly and helpful. It’s very near the beach. My room was spacious and comfortable. Nice bed, linen, towels.

I had to keep the curtains of my room shut and bathroom also the whole time as gardeners /staff were walking right by the window. There was no privacy. The pool area is not large and right by reception and restaurant so lots of traffic going . Not very relaxing. Other pool had a construction site right next to it. The Wi-Fi in my bedroom didn’t work at all, I had to be in the kitchen area.

Everything! The reception staff were very welcoming, informative, and helpful. They booked restaurants and excursions for us. They gave us a tour of the facility pointing out all of the amenities we may be interested in. Then they showed us to our rooms. They explained how to use the safe, provided a complimentary stainless steel water bottle, complimentary laundry service, and complimentary breakfast at the wonderful on-site restaurant. Local coffee and organic tea was provided. The entire facility was very clean and tidy. I loved my room. It had a balcony above the pool, at tree canopy height. It was private, quiet. A wonderful place to just sit and enjoy being outside. The bed and bedroom was air-conditioned and very comfortable. The restaurant staff, menu, and food quality were superb! All of the staff were very attentive to our needs, efficient, capable, patient, courteous, friendly, generous, and kind. And it was a short walk to a beautiful beach and glorious sunsets! I highly recommend Olas Verdes!

Does not apply. Everything was wonderful!

Olas Verdes is in the quiet part of Nosara, as close to the beach as you can get, and a short walk to restaurants if you decide to eat off property. The hotel is LEED certified. It strives to be zero waste and the grounds are beautiful. It is a peaceful little oasis and has exactly what you need. Our room was a suite and extremely spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. They left us coffee and juice for the morning and the included breakfast was amazing. All of the staff were wonderful. Their pictures do not do it justice. There are hipper hotels but not nicer hotels in terms of amenities, staff, hospitality, and location. We loved our stay.

We did not have any complaints about the property. The couch in our room was a little tired and uncomfortable but that is about the only bad thing I can say.

Proximity to the beach and forest , and away from the noise of downtown. Bikes are available to easily cruise into town. Pool and surfboard rentals are very nice. The restaurant on site is very good.

The rooms had a layout that were facing other rooms so privacy of the bathroom and bedroom were solved by drawing the curtains which didn’t allow for views from those rooms. The living room had the best scenery which is fantastic.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel with lovely grounds, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and an excellent restaurant. Parrots and iguanas roam the treetops, the pool is lovely and peaceful, and all bedrooms have air conditioning. Beach access is only 5 minutes away and you can get there by walking along the road or taking the scenic (but sometimes muddy) path through the mangroves.

The water pressure in the shower is really low, which means longer showers to get the beach out of your hair, defeating the purpose of saving water through low pressure nozzles. This was our family's number one complaint. Everything else was nearly perfect.

Amazing hotel. We traveled with our young family and everything exceeded our expectations. Great staff, great food (especially the included a la carts breakfast every morning), great location as close to the beach as possible in Nosara (a short 4 min walk through a mangrove on a trail). We surfed every day and having Safari Surf onsite made things easy to rent boards. Nice bonus was the free laundry service. Great choice of traveling with kids. Will stay again for sure!

There is so much to like about this property! The staff was wonderful and always on top of meeting all needs, the location felt a bit remote which added a feeling of peace and quiet to our vacation, it was nice to have a restaurant onsite for drinks and meals, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.

There wasn't anything I didn't like or that would keep me from coming back, but a few things to mention would be the roads are a bit rough traveling to the hotel, only the bedroom is cooled so the rest of the space can be a bit warm, and the bathroom needs brighter lights for applying makeup.
