Stayed here twice and have enjoyed the hotel each time. Second time we came to the hotel with three children, ages 6, 10, 12 and they loved it as well. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

The property is advertised as beachfront and it is not. You also have to walk up and down a very long steep incline to get from the parking lot to your room.

Everything about the Bungalows was excellent except the food and drinks. The room was fantastic and the front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. They chased us down into the parking lot after we checked out to advise us we had an Expedia credit and they wanted to refund us the amount. Thanks for that. My only qualm was with the drinks and the food at the restaurant. They have a great happy hour deal on drinks by the pool in the afternoons. Problem is the booze is HEAVILY diluted. I finally ordered a martini as an experiment and it was so watered down I couldn’t even taste the gin. Which is basically all a martini is. Wild. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and it was mediocre at best. The seafood appetizer was frozen seafood in jarred pasta sauce. Our server brought out my wife’s main course and then asked me if I wanted to order something to eat after he had taken both our orders earlier. No big deal on the service as they were busy with a tour of retirees so I understand. But the food was lackluster. The chefs are obviously competent but they need to use better ingredients. No other dining options in the area unless you drive up to Samara, so they should really concentrate on improving the food. Once that is in play I would recommend Nammbu Bungalows without reservation.

Really nice hotel. Very spacious rooms. And lovely grounds. And easy access to a beautiful beach. A couple of nice restaurants in walking distance. Or an easy drive to Sámara for more options. Would have rated higher but they did not give any of the recognition for hotels.com gold - no room upgrade, no early check in or late checkout.

The property was beautiful and clean. The staff was amazing, friendly and accommodating to all of our needs. The food was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. We stayed 3 days and were reluctant to leave the peaceful, comfortable and relaxing surroundings. The rooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The views and sunsets were amazing! We will be back!

A. Hotel isn’t actually on beachfront. Down a path cross a street down the road a short walk. Beautiful beach when you get there. B. Expensive ocean view room has VERY limited view due to wall rather than balcony and room orientation. Must be standing to see tip of the bay. Room was large but spartan: bed, end tables with no lamps, two chairs, no sofa, blank walls, small built in, Coffee maker spit out moldy crud after 8 flushes with clean water. Told management immediately I was unsatisfied and said all ocean view rooms were like that and said they couldn’t make changes because I booked on Expedia. Friends had a double room for less than half the price that was nicer experience. C. Pool area was nice with a lovely bay view from corner of pool. Service was acceptable, dinner meals were very good, but never hot. Lunch varied meh to quite good. Breakfast buffet average . I have made multiple visits to Guanacaste and will likely do more research for better value next time.

Rooms are big, Very comfortable but there isn’t any privacy because there are many windows facing others rooms. When we arrived didn’t get the room we had choosing during the chek in, them we were moved to another room but the door lock didn’t work. So we were moved again to a different room. Three rooms in an hour after a long trip. Additionally, we had to carry our baggage around the whole hotel.

Nothing but fantastic in every way. Great location next to the beach, large parking space, modern and new facilities, clean and large outdoor pool with warm water, excellent and breakfast with wide variety. We stayed in 4 different hotels during our 2 week stay in CR, and this Hotel was by far the best. I cannot believe why this hotel is so cheap to stay in, and that it wasnt full booked while we stayed there. I could easily stay here for another week, and would like every one reading this to be assured that if you book here, you will not be disappointed.

I have stayed at Nammbú since it opened 2015 (in fact, it was still under construction and we were the first to stay in our room). The location is top-notch as is the staff. The views are gorgeous. The only disappointment has been to see the lack of maintenance, especially in the bathrooms. Since that first visit I have returned to on four occasions. On our first visit, I assumed that the poorly fitted glass shower surrounds would be tuned up. They never were, and have gotten worse, and water rom the shower head easily sprays out, creating a small flood on the floor. The grout has never been cleaned, and in places it is filthy. The shower spout leaked out the side and the handle came off in my hand. I work in real estate, and I hate to see properties degrade by lack of routine maintenance. I hope ownership sees these comments and tunes up the weak spots.

Beautiful property with a fun pool/bar area. The view from the infinity pool was beautiful to watch the sunset. The property isn’t exactly beach front but the beach is accessible by a stairway and across the road. It’s not difficult but would make the beautiful beach inaccessible for those that might be physically challenged. The rooms were large and a lovely balcony to watch the birds and have coffee in the morning. We ate at the restaurant above the pool and on this night it was a buffet and excellent. The food and service were great. The next day we ate early at the lower pool side service and is was just mediocre. The service there was not attentive at all as the upper restaurant staff was very attentive. The property is perched on the edge of a huge hill so walking around the grounds is a walk up and down steep paths. We would stay here again.

We booked this last minute 3 days after having our valuables and passports stolen. We drove 5 hours from San Jose and arrived 2 hours before dark, so were keen to get to the beach to salvage our last day in C.R. We were shown to our room at the bottom of a steep hill, and our keys didn't open the door. A staff member ran back to the lobby and returned to put us in a different room. After he left we realized they didn't provide a safe key. I asked a staff member and he said he would send someone with the key, In the meantime we realized our patio door lock was broken and we could not lock that door. Having been robbed two days previously, all we wanted was a safe and doors that locked. I walked to the lobby and got the safe key, which did not work in the safe. The maintenance man showed up and broke the safe key off in the safe lock, then proceeded to try to fix the door lock. I went back up the steep hill to ask for a room with a functioning lock and door. After an hour we finally got moved to a room with a working door lock and safe. It was very frustrating and disappointing to lose a precious hour after the thieves had taken our valuables and three days of our vacation from us. After this fiasco, we found the room to be clean, large, modern and pleasant. The grounds of the resort are lovely. Views from the pool and restaurant are gorgeous, and the beach, Playa Carrillo, was one of the nicest beaches I've seen in Costa Rica. Better customer service is all needed

Our stay at Nammbu was incredible. The resort overlooks beautiful Playa Carrillo which is only a short walk away. The property is designed to create a magical experience surrounded by the jungle. The best part of our stay were the staff who made us feel extremely welcomed and catered to our every need. They were so hospitable, smiling and friendly it was difficult to leave.

We so loved the staff! From Donavon, to Fabian to greet us in the lobby to Maikel and Alonzo and Jerzon(sp) in the breakfast dining area. AndDavid in the pool bar! Everyone was so wonderful, we were there 12nights and loved every day there! Your staff made such a great impression, we will stay again with you. This is our second time we stayed at this property! We will tell all of your friends about this place and we will definitely be back again! Pura Vida!

Beautiful location overlooking one of the nicest beaches in the area. The hotel provided everything necessary for a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, modern and generously proportioned. My only suggest for improvement would be the installation of washroom doors in the rooms with two beds (... it's an OK layout for couples, but a little awkward sharing a double with our teen kids). All-in-all, a great resort with great staff.

We stayed at the resort for 8 days. The staff made our stay very welcoming. David, Michael, Daniela, Freddie, just to name a few..were professional, they took care of our family especially my allergies when it came to my diet. In the morning they made me gf vegan pancakes which were amazing. The hotel was clean beyond words. We enjoyed our date night at the bar and David made the best cocktails not to mention his company was so much fun. We will be back! Cant wait to see all the staff again soon.

The front desk staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming They gave us a room next the maintenance crew rooms and repair area very noisy in the mornings. The overall staff appeared unfriendly and rude. I would not call this a vip hotel and don’t forget the long walk which was uphills to the front desk. Would not recommend this hotel or stay at this hotel ever. Worse experience!

The staff was super friendly. The on-site restaurant had good food and we ate there several times out of convenience. The drinks were excellent, but expensive and not very strong. The pool area was beautiful, and we were able to see lots of wildlife like monkeys and iguanas on the property. The rooms were very large. Unlike some of the reviews that complained about the bathrooms having no doors, ours did have one, thank goodness. There were some odd things about the room like where the outlets were located. We were located in a bungalow that was in the middle and had to walk up a very steep incline and then down a steep incline to get to the bar/pool area. This was fine for us, but this is definitely not a hotel for anyone with serious mobility issues. Also, getting to the beach involved a steep set of stairs and walking along the road for a little ways. There was very little traffic, so not a huge deal, but something to be aware of. The beach was beautiful with very few people ever on it. We stayed out on the beach past the time the gate closed to explore tide pools at low tide and had to walk up and around to the front of the property. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, but we mostly drove to Samara to eat. Great restaurants there. Overall, very enjoyable!
