Fantastic hotel

Beautiful hotel, very close to the beach. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we wanted for nothing. The restaurant food was excellent. We stayed in the jungle room with the outside shower.

My stay at Sendero Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The grounds are lush, green, and beautifully maintained, creating a peaceful and luxurious atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, and the easy access to the beach made it the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. What truly sets Sendero apart is the staff—they are warm, genuine, and make you feel like family. Their authenticity and kindness embody the true pura vida spirit and left me feeling calm, centered, and inspired. The food was world class, with every meal fresh and full of flavor. Sendero isn’t just a hotel, it’s an experience that blends elegance, balance, and authenticity. I left with a new motto: Live lighter, love deeper, and embrace every moment the pura vida way. Thank you, Sendero Hotel

I just returned from my second visit to Sendero, and it truly feels like home. The design of the hotel is stunning, and the staff is absolutely exceptional. They take the time to get to know you, remember you, and make you feel like part of the family. The restaurant is a standout, offering the most delicious menu I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The pool is a serene retreat, the perfect spot to unwind with a good book after a day of surfing. The yoga and surf instructors, especially Lauren and Rodrigo, have made each of my visits unforgettable. I can't recommend Sendero enough – it's an experience that I will continue to cherish and share with others.

The best food in Nosara. The rooms are very clean ,functional, quiet and charming with a very comfortable bed. Easy access to the beach. The staff was excellent and friendly. The plunge pool was a delight in the extremely hot weather we had while here. The only thing lacking here is a long swimming pool which is fine really because the beach is nearby.

The property was cleans beautifully, and the hotel staff was amazing. The restaurant food was amazing though the service was a little slow and we had to remind them of things at times. Other than that, the staff was incredibly accommodating and super full with getting reservations booked and helping us with our dog. The location is fantastic and the town is amazing.

Beautiful new boutique hotel with great service.

This is a beautiful, new boutique hotel, within a quick walk to Guiones beach. Modern, eco-chic decor and warm, friendly staff made this a great stay. They were closing for a week for a construction project the day I was checking out but let me stay until my shuttle came late that afternoon. Super nice and accommodating! I’d definitely stay here again if I return to Nosara.

Beautiful spot steps from the beach. Staff is great. But it is ridiculously expensive and the restaurant is more expensive than DC or NY. There’s a pervasive septic tank smell that makes the $366 price tag for the room difficult to accept.

Perfect vacation at Sendero

We had an incredible stay at Sendero! Everything was perfect: the location, the room, the service and the food. Highly recommend staying in the jungle room - the outdoor shower and seating area was just perfect and the amenities in the room are well thought out. The service was excellent - everyone was genuinely friendly and we felt very much at home. The food was also excellent (recommend the tuna rice bowl at lunch and crispy rice tuna at dinner) - the best we had in the area frankly - and contrary to some other reviews, I found the prices comparable to similar type restaurants in the area. And of course the location was wonderful - loved the short forest walk to the beach. We also loved the "off-the-beaten path" feel of Nosara. Special thanks to Nella for her extra attention and kindness during our stay. Definitely one of the top spots in Costa Rica - we'll be back for sure!

Beautiful new property in what is now one of our favorite new places - Nosara! The hotel is gorgeous, impeccably designed. Staff is incredibly welcoming! Location is great quick walk to the untouched beach (no hotel is truly “on the beach” which is wonderful) and there is shopping around the corner including one of the few shops owned locally with products produced in the region. Breakfast was delicious and lunch and dinner was great! The menu seems off putting at first (geared towards Americans with “Nashville hot chicken” etc) but the food was absolutely delish- specifically the tuna fried rice. Hotel has everything you need- if you’re staying more than two nights- splurge and get a larger room! We purposely got the smallest room as we were only staying for the weekend. We can’t wait to come back!
