Had a great 3 night stay here recently. Just an all-around great experience. Relaxing environment, real commitment to eco-friendly, safe, clean, beautiful and having warm, charming owners (whose dog I fell I love with) made it feel that much more comfortable. They have A/C but having not had it for most of my trip, I didn't opt for it (hey,... More

We drove from Santa Teresa to Nosara on our surf adventure and we were pretty road weary when we arrived at 4 PM. New stayed one night at the KayaSol Surf Hotel which was recommended to us. Ugh! I've stayed in better college dorms. Without WiFi we just had to search for new digs and we stopped at Giardino Tropicale... More

Giardino Tropicale is a great place to stay. The owners, Marcel and Myriam, are very nice and accommodating, as was the rest of the staff. The grounds are nicely kept, and the food is very good. We've stayed in regular rooms and a nice, spacious suite, all of which were very comfortable..

The owners are a very nice Swiss/Colombian couple. They are lovely, helpful and generous - a pleasure to be with. The garden is a tropical dream with the plants and the butterfiles. We stayed in a two-story house with open kitchen and individual architecture. Close to the beach, restaurants, everything. Excellent value.

We stayed two nights here, and although we were working in the region, staying at the Giardino Tropicale was like a small vacation at the same time! The owners were super accommodating and arranged for anything that we needed. Food was delicious, spacious rooms, and the dogs are very friendly! We loved that it was away from the crowd, felt...

This is a lovely place to stay. The hosts Myriam and Marcel make you feel right at home. The rooms are clean and well appointed, the food is awesome. The coffee is the best in Nosara. Bird song greets you every morning, The salt water pool was a treat to cool off in. I'm already booked for my next trip!

This was a wonderful hotel. The food was delicious, the rooms nice, and the location and layout beautiful. The owners were friendly and helpful as well. So close to the beach too! Highly recommend. Only downside was that the wifi was spotty.

Our hosts were incredibly hospitable. First, they upgraded our room free of charge. Next, they took great pains too help us plan our activities. They gave us great suggestions that ended up being wonderful experiences. The property is very well manicured. It was fun to wander and admire all the plants and flowers. Perfect sized salt-water pool.The beach is a... More

I chose this hotel out of a range of other top ranked hotels in the village which we visited before we made our choice and the decision turned out to be perfect one.
