Guest Reviews:
- "Olas Verdes is in the quiet part of Nosara, as close to the beach as you can get, and a short walk to restaurants if you decide to eat off property. The hotel is LEED certified. It strives to be zero waste and the grounds are beautiful. It is a peaceful little oasis and has exactly what you need. Our room was a suite and extremely spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. They left us coffee and juice for the morning and the included breakfast was amazing. All of the staff were wonderful. Their pictures do not do it justice. There are hipper hotels but not nicer hotels in terms of amenities, staff, hospitality, and location. We loved our stay."

We stayed in airstream 1 and it was very comfortable, clean and for an airstream, it felt quite modern." - "I stayed 4 nights in Airstream 2 and had a fantastic experience. It’s a little nest, nearby the beautiful beach of Guiones/Nosara. The van is spacious, beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable (bed & outdoor shower are amazing!), and has all commodities you might need. It’s very cosy, and Jack, despite being abroad, has been very supporting throughout my stay. I can’t wait to come back !!"
