This place is amazing! The property is beautiful And the staff is incredible. Delicious breakfast is included and a nice healthy light menu to order is available. Close proximity to the beach and beach bikes are available to use free of charge. Surfboard lockers provided and a beautiful yoga studio on the premises with daily classes. This place is a gem and can’t wait to come back to Nosara and stay at the Nomadic.

Absolutely 10/10 I would highly recommend for solo travelers. Nosara is a surfer's and yogi's paradise. I stayed in The Nomadic Hotel dorm, which was clean, quiet and made the best of friends with a few of the other dorm guests. The property itself is gorgeous! The design is so well done. The included breakfast was tasty and I like how they had complimentary morning yoga for guests. The staff were super hospitable and helped get a tuk tuk for transportation. It is conveniently located and an easy walk to the main street where more food and retail, and surf shops are located, not to mention the beach! Between lunch and dinner can be extremely hot, hanging out at the pool at Nomadic was a supreme place to be during that time.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Staff was friendly. Very early in the morning staff moved furniture around on the roof deck above most of the rooms resulting in a lot of noise of things being dragged. Hotel music outside the room was loud early morning as well. Breakfast is limited and ends at 9am. Food and drink prices resembled California. Room was over priced for the quality, service and amenities. What used to be a reasonable priced hotel in Playa Guiones is now the last choice. Plan ahead and stay at Gilded Iguana.

Response from Klay on 7 Mar 2023
Hey Charles, we’re sorry about to hear your experience not meeting your expectations for us. We’re not sure why the staff were moving furniture around because the furniture has a fixed spot and isn’t usually moved, we’ll make sure to talk with them so it wouldn’t happen again. Music around the pool isn’t turned on until after the morning yoga around 10:30am, but shouldn’t be loud, the music at the hotel is always turned to a relaxing volume. Breakfast ends at 9:30 and is amount the most highly enjoyed experiences at The Nomadic according to feedback we get from most guests. The breakfast is also complimentary and 100% organic. Our food and drink prices are in line with others in the area and all of our food and drinks are made with organic ingredients. We feel that we are priced fairly for our market, yes there are cheaper accommodations but they will have a lower standard than what you receive at The Nomadic. The Guilded Iguana is 2x our prices per night and yes is also a great hotel. Thanks again for your feedback.

Great place to get away and relax!
What a place! The rooms were clean and fresh feeling. The pool area was comfortable and relaxing with beautiful landscaping. There are many different hang out areas that have been created and the fact that it’s not a huge hotel to begin with made it even better for relaxing. I rented a bike to get to the Guilded Iguana surf club, but most of the shops and restaurants are a short walk away.

Had a wonderful stay here, in the shared rooms. Everything was clean, and well taken care of. There were so many places to relax, outside of the rooms, including the pool area and shared common areas. The breakfast was delicious, and from my understanding is unique every day with some variation of fresh fruit and eggs. Everyone who worked there was so helpful and kind. Also, as a single female traveler I felt completely safe and looked out for here. The staff knew everyone's name and face within hours of arrival, which I found not only welcoming but comforting. I was only here two nights and wanted to stay longer!

Decent spot in Nosara
Check in: Hotel grounds are stunning. Beautiful architecture/ design, gorgeous pool, & a laid back vibe. So laid back, in fact, that no one was at the front desk for an entire hour when we arrived (even after we called ahead). Room; The basic room was small & cramped for two people. Little closet space and no mini fridge (important if you want to take chilled beverages to the beach). The bed was nice and the sheets were soft and clean. If you’re traveling with more than 1 person, I’d recommend booking a more spacious room. The owner helped get me extra hangers and fixed our broken safe which was appreciated. Bfast: Delicious and convenient breakfast and coffee greet you every morning. Fresh juice, fresh fruit + a hearty bfast option! Service: Our delayed and clunky check in experience characterizes the level of service fairly well. Service is not what you’d expect from a standard hotel/concierge. More like a small bar/check in area that may or may not be staffed at any given time. When they are staffed, they may or may not be helpful, for example, when I asked if they could chill a bottle of wine for me that I was planning to take to go, they told me they could not because if they let me chill my wine in their fridge they’d never sell their own wine. Disappointing since our room did not have a mini fridge or ice bucket. Location: centrally located. 10 minute walk to the beach. 10 minute walk to little Italy. Other: Bfast, WiFi, and parking were free

I loved my stay here! I was in the dorm room and the bed was huge and comfortable. There are two showers and two toilets in the room, all very nice and clean. Towels are provided for the shower and the pool. The pool is great. Walking distance from everything in the Playa Guiones area. Breakfast was delicious, just a bit small for me. Would stay again!

The hotel is small, relatively new and very nice. The pool is the perfect place to rest during midday, when the sun makes it impossible to be elsewhere. The room has an amazing bed (we stayed in the king size bed room) with perfect confort. Bathroom works fines and is very moderen. There is no space to store your stuff, only a few hooks, that won't be enough for a couple staying a couple of days (this is an easy fix for the manager). The breakfast is included, but is not good, you only have one option and not much flexibility every day. You only get half a glass of juice and if you dare to ask for some more.... staff won't be happy... I don't like buffets, but at least, when I pay $250 per night, I expect some more juice... The local staff (gardener and security) were great, very helpful and kind. The international staff were not very happy to please you or accomodate to your needs... So, if you are planning to surf in the morning, get your food elsewhere and sleep well, this is a good option. If you like a one shop stop, go to the Gilded Iguana Hotel (has a restaurant). If you don't like surfing, don't come here.... this hotel is not for you.

This is not a Hotel, it is a Hostel charging 250 usd for a room that should not be more than 100. There is no service at all at the property, just one unfriendly person at the front desk that every time you go ask for something (forget about calling, you just have to walk to reception) she acts as she were doing you a favor. There are no fridges in the rooms, no minibar, no blackout curtains. Breakfast is made to order, and includes an undrinkable coffee and half a glass of a non-natural juice. Don't ask for more. Also, no food at all at the property (lunch, dinner, or whatever you need you have to go outside). This is a trap for americans/australians. Again, for 100 a night it's ok, but it is million miles away from a 250 nightly rate.

An absolutely stunning hotel in Nosara. Close to the beach, several restaurants. lovely breakfast included. Small but nice pool. Room was nice, though not worth what we paid. A problem with caterpillars, I believe they tried to sort but it didn't work. This will need sorting on a permanent basis. Staff were lovely. Highly recommended for a lovely stay.

Great hotel! Stunning modern design!
New, modern and excellent! We stayed in "The Nest", the apartment, which I didn't see in the photos on the website. It was beautiful, full kitchen, TV with Netflix available, Bedroom upstairs. The wood work in the unit was really stunning. We loved it. Very clean, only small issue was the water in the shower wasn't too warm one night. But that's likely the case for all the hotels in that area. Breakfast was great and the service was wonderful. The even helped me arrange a shuttle to our next hotel. I would love to go back to the Nomadic. Beach is a 5-10 min walk. The little town is very chill, lots of people speak English, definitely a surfer, beach town and vibe. We loved the restaurant right next door to the Nomadic too. Their ceviche was delicious!
