Hotel Guiones

I travelled with friends and solo to this property. The location is prime, food amazing and the accommodations gave me a Mamma Mia feel. The pool area is so relaxing and I really appreciated the extra touches - Costa Rican coffee drip, great bed, helpful staff and of course I took advantage of the yoga space. See you again soon.

Our getaway to Nosara was wonderful. This area has a lot to offer for couples or friend trip travel. The hotel we stayed at was wonderful and provided lush surroundings, warm and friendly staff and a great location, a short direct walk to the beach. Pura Vida!

I would highly recommend Hotel Guiones to anyone visiting Nosara! The staff was amazingly helpful and made me feel right at home. It was a very classy scene without being pretentious . The room was extremely comfortable and the beds were great. I enjoyed listening to the howler monkeys from the front porch while drinking the complementary locally roasted coffee they provided. The pool was clean and very serene. One of my favorite parts of the trip was borrowing the bikes that they loan out and having the freedom to ride around town…very short ride to the beach. The restaurant on site had the best food in town! There was nothing lacking and I can’t wait to go back!!

I go down here once a year. They’re always super friendly. I always have a blast just going to the beach and being in the warm sun. And seeing all the creatures like lizards. Holler monkeys. And the food and the staff are amazing. Always super present And do everything that you ask for and more I couldn’t recommend this place enough

Great stay. Beautiful pool and restaurant. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.

We had to reconfigure our trip due to missing a flight. The Hotel Guinones staff was empathetic and gracious by issuing a credit for a later date. Their professional and warm communication provided peace of mind. Upon arriving in late August, we were truly impressed with the grounds and staff. Jorge was extremely helpful (even surprising us with a room upgrade!). The property is within walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. Their restaurant setting and bar are beautiful with a thoughtfully constructed menu. The property was lush with beautiful plants and trees surrounding a cute centralized pool! Just perfect. And, the complimentary breakfast was an added luxury that was DELICIOUS. If looking for a boutique hotel, with a staff that cares about their guests in a lush Nosara setting, Hotel Guinones is a recommend. We are thankful for their kindness and hospitality. Pura Vida!

Everything about Hotel Guiones felt divine. The landscaping on the property and around the pool was beautiful. I loved that there was a yoga platform. The cute accents with the huge crystals allowed me to feel uplifted. Our room was simple and perfect. The bedding was so soft, clean and cozi. Having the restaurant El Local just a few steps from our room was magical. I enjoy eating local and healthy options as well as indulging with mac n cheese. Our friends even suggested that we gather everyone from around the area to dine at the restaurant together and it was perfect for our group! ...We also being able to walk down to the beach and so many great shops and restaurants nearby. My partner made a joke that we want to move in permenantly and we really would if we could. Also great touch with the complimentary local coffee in the room and the most delicious chocolates and drinks to purchase by the pool. I also enjoyed the provided organic hair and body care products. Oh and our porch had a beautiful hammock and chairs. The turkish blankets in the room were perfect to use for the beach and also to cozy up in the room. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and memorable experience for our first time in Nosara!

Everything I hoped for and more. Great location, beautiful room that easily accommodated the four of us, and had kitchenette with dining space! Very lovely private porch, beautiful pool and grounds, lovely restaurant-and best of all, wonderful people! Looking forward to a chance to return and stay longer.

This was our second trip to Nosara, we’d previously stayed at Olas Verdes and loved it. Hotel Guiones has a very laid back vibe, perfect for what we were after. The hotel grounds are immaculate, the rooms tastefully decorated and the pool is just wonderful (with added iguanas!). I was slightly disappointed with the location as it was significantly further from the beach than the website suggested. Partly my fault as I should have checked on a map but it’s around a kilometre so hardly a few steps. The property is on the side of a steep hill and there are many steps and slopes. I’m sure this isn’t a problem for many but I have very obvious arthritis (walk with a stick), had two young kids and my mother who is in her mid 70s and we were still expected to drag our luggage to and from our rooms without assistance. I also found having to ask if you wanted your room cleaned to be an odd set up - for the price point it should absolutely be done as standard, I felt almost cheeky asking everyday. Even with the room cleaning, despite being the for 5 nights, the (very obviously dirty) towels, flannels and sheets (Nosara is very dusty, impossible to keep white sheets clean) weren’t changed only made neat. The restaurant did some excellent food in the evenings, particularly the risottos, and some great cocktails. There was also a basic kitchenette in one of our rooms with a fridge, kettle, plates etc which was very useful for fixing a quick lunch. The breakfast was decent but pretty slow - we had a few days of activities on the beach at 9am and despite getting their bang on 7.30 for breakfast it often wouldn’t arrive until gone 8.30. It’s also a bit stingy for what’s included- kids pancakes are but if you want the adults it’s $15, only one small glass of orange juice per person, smoothies are around $5-7 and not included. The staff were all very friendly and really helpful. Our surf lesson was cancelled one day with 20 minutes notice and they managed to reorganise for us. Overall a beautiful hotel in a very cool little town.
