This place is simply AMAZING in its understated simplicity and peacefulness!! It's EVERYTHING the US is not. Ari and Virginia were suberb hosts and it's my new go to in Nosara!! Best bed in Costa Rica me thinks too :)

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were perfect

Squeaky beds

The location is perfect, next to cute stops and really steps away from the beach I loved that the cleaning lady turned the air diffuser on every day, such a nice welcome to a clean room The staff was helpful, nice and friendly Typical breakfast from the place next door was really tasty It was very convenient that we could rent surfboards from the reception

The shower drain was clogged and took forever to drain + there was a really bad sewage-like smell every time we turned it on The pool didn't seem clean enough to swim in so we didnt use it It's not a hotel, felt overpriced for a bed&breakfast

I enjoyed the complementary breakfast e.g. the Acai/Dragon ball from Mena at the bar of the hotel. I loved the location of the hotel in Nosara. I loved the thoughtfulness and kindness of Virginia at the reception of the hotel.

I didn’t like the beds nor the poor construction of my room as insects were able to enter through the door. I hated not to have a coffee machine in my room and that I had to wait 8 am to get an espresso that wasn’t free! Coffee needs to be free when you pay over $200/night in Costa Rica which is a major coffee distributor. I didn’t like the attitude of Ari the Spanish guy working at Norte who treated me with a lack of respect. He was nice until he was not, he lost it and never apologized for his words. Not a professional behavior at all. Just be aware of that.

We absolutely loved our stay at Norte! An ideal location with activities going on every day. the breakfast bowls were amazing and so were the fresh cocktails at night. Hotel staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. Very relaxing vibe and made our trip a vacation we’ll never forget! Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Nosara.

central to everything

a lot of construction- noisy

Location and vibe

They have a loud dance class at night. They should offer the guests a discount on the class or other yoga classes because the sound is inescapable from the rooms.

The Breakfast is Perfect . Very fresh and tasty! This place is magic ! Special location and really close to the center

Nothing

Great place I will definitely be back

no coffee in the rooms

location to the beach

our room Hideaway was damp. had dehumidifier and room fragrance to hide it. no hairdryer, no place to hang clothes, had to carry the safe key to the beach with you. all the bean bag chairs around pool where mouldy. pool was not inviting with lots of dead insets and old leaves not cleared out. the roads in nosara are just pure mud. for the money and a special 50th birthday it was so disappointing

Beautiful style, relaxed vibes and very clean rooms. The hotel and bar staff are incredibly friendly and laid back. We rented surfboards directly from the property, great value for money

nothing

Adorable place right in the mix of Nosara very close to the beach, few minutes walking. The room was beautiful. the pool area. they have yoga classes which is cool if you are into it and a nice bar. I would come back here and recommended.

During our stay, they were doing a bit of remodeling. not a bad negative we just could not walk thru certain areas. everything else was awesome!

Friendly guy behind the bar.

Unlike the pictures on Booking.com, the rooms are dark ( and very humid ). The room had a terrible smell of fungus and one could notice lots of dark spots of fungi on the bamboo ceiling. Breakfast was poor, with poor service. The pool is nice, but lots of noise from construction works on the other side of the street. Upon check-out, we were indicated a price which was 35 USD higher then the price we booked. we had to show our confirmation ( at 216 USD ). Poor place, poorly managed.

I loved everything about it!!! It was excellent

All good, close to the beach. Great team ! The barmaid was really kind. Fantastic stay.

Great place to stay nice and close to the surf. Shoulder season was wonderfully lush and felt like we had the place to ourselves. The Açai bowls were incredible

There were many building noises about for many places were doing off season renos

No breakfast. It was near enough to restaurants but the place outside needed looking after - holes in the road. No nice alcoves with palm trees on the beach., just secondary growth along the sand of various weeds.

The ad in booking.com showed a different environment than what we experienced. It seemed very close to the beach and looked as if there was more land within the property. It turned out to be rather austere and the only convenient place to sit was outside the room. We would have liked a place to set out our food in the room and cups and tea bags;

Nice staff, good vibe in the place. They have the best location in Guiones 5 minutes from the beach.

The perfect jungle/beach escape we could have asked for! Norte was the perfect backdrop for some time away for my wife and I. Located in the center of town and only a 2 minute walk to the beach, this place is incredibly stylish, meticulously clean and had the best service I've experienced in a boutique hotel. Everything about Norte was perfect- from the incredible class offerings on the yoga deck to the delicious artisanal cocktails, mocktails and juices served by Ari at the jungle bar. We loved the place so much we booked another trip, so we could return with our friends. We are anxiously counting down the days until our next jungle adventure!

Beds and sheets are super comfortable, nice room design. Good atmosphere
