If you have a car, and don't mind being a few minutes from town, then this is your place! The views are stunning, and the accommodations are nice (no a/c & no tv, but most of Nosara is like that!), and the breakfast is fantastic! If you are in Nosara to surf and want to be near the beach, then... More

The pictures not only are accurate, they really can't capture the beauty and magic of the place. We usually stay right on the beach but this was even better. We got the best of everything. A better view, a less traveled road so less traffic, people and dust, and the best B&B we've ever stayed at. Alexa is a wonderful... More

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days during our trip to Costa Rica. It is a wonderful gem of a hotel. The view of the ocean is spectacular. It is a very small hotel, so we felt like we had the run of the place. The drive up the dirt road to get here is a... More

The title does not lie: Bella Vista Mar has a wonderful view, especially during the sunsets. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean, sorroundings are beautiful. There were moments when we were thinking that the place was too perfect to be true. Alexa if a wonderful hostess: nice, friendly and very helpful. If I had to find one disadvantage, I... More

We loved it so much that we told all our friends and family and my sister is going to Bella Vista Mar this weekend with her husband. Breakfasts were delicious and we had a chance to share stories with the other guests and meet many great people. The location has an awesome view and is near (by car) to many... More

I had the pleasure of staying at Bella Vista Mar over the Christmas holidays, and enjoyed the matchless combination of discovering Nosara, that rarity, a truly unspoiled beach town, and staying at a B&B that I enthusiastically recommend to all travelers to CR. The rooms are large and filled with colorful paintings by local artists, the landscaping is magnificent, the... More

We were originally going to fly from San Josa to Nosara so we asked if we really needed to rent a car while staying at Bella Vista Mar. Our second question was that if we did rent a vehicle, would a car suffice or would we need a 4X4? We were advised that having a car would be convienent to... More

My husband, parents, and I had an amazing stay at Bella Vista Mar in December. Bella Vista Mar offered an incredible view, nice rooms, and incredible breakfasts! We had never been to Nosara - or Costa Rica - before, but Alexa (the owner of Bella Vista Mar) helped us plan great excursions, gave us fabulous restaurant recommendations, and even made... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at Bella Vista Mar for a few weeks (lucky me!) and enjoyed every day that we were there. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The breakfasts from Roxanna are AMAZING...especially the omelets and banana pancakes! Alexa is a wonderful host. The view from the top of the mountain, overlooking the ocean is incredible and provides... More
