Nicoya Nicoya Colonial Church Hotels

"The staff was exceptional. The location and setting was exceptional. But some things were substandard. Breakfast was boring and same every day. Eg no croissants or breakfast pastries, only bread for toast. No cheese or cold meat or fish selection. No variety of fruits. Rooms were spacious but… no closet, no hangers. No place to hang clothes, no place to hang wet towels and bathing suits. Huge balcony with a tiny two-seater couch with no cushions. No cushions on the indoor couch either. A little attention to deal would go a long way - no tea bags in room. No wine glasses. "

"Overall, the resort was amazing. I’ll start with the positives. It is a small, adults only resort. No line-ups, quick service, easy to navigate, etc. the rooms are large and spacious, with the toilet in a separate area on its own (nice feature). The AC worked great, there was a water machine in the room, and the balcony was spacious as well. One bartender in particular (at the pool bar) was amazing. When we tried to tip him separately, he wouldn’t accept it and put it in the tip jar saying, “We are a team.” The beach is nice and only a 30 minute walk into Sámara (cabs are available too). A few minor annoyances…the food options were very limited and the food was hit or miss. Some days it was really good and other days it was just meh. The room wasn’t completely cleaned every day - we couldn’t rely on coffee or fridge being replenished, and glassware wasn’t cleaned regularly either. Many workers only spoke broken English and didn’t understand us. Hindsight, we should have used a translation app. Finally, there was not a monkey to be seen. That was probably the most disappointing for us lol. Despite that, it was an amazing vacation. "

"There was a patio, however, there was no furniture or table. Under the kitchen sink smelled terribly they tried to fix it, but just masked it with a fragrance."

"We had a beautiful spacious room poolside at this charming hotel. The location was quiet but close enough to the town of Samara to enjoy excellent restaurants and services. Highly recommended."

"The pools were fantastic, views amazing and rooms were great"

"Loved this place. Huge area with lots of friendly staff. We stayed in a Casita which was cool clean and large enough for a family of 4 but we were a couple. The gym and shared kitchen is so useful in nosara as it's expensive to eat out"

"This property was everything we could ask for. Upon arrival, Brian, the front desk manager gave us a wonderful briefing explaining everything well and the property has a nice beach an easy walk in one direction where the sunset view is incredible. Head out the other direction just a short drive (or a long walk) and you have Carillo, an incredible beach that is lined with palm trees and so wide and expansive it almost seems private. The hotel room was great and the breakfast was perfect, served around the pool area each morning. A very relaxing, accomodating place, I will definitely stay at again when visiting that area "

"Everything!!! We were the only people staying there at the time and got to have the whole place to ourselves. It was a great birthday treat for myself and my partner. 10/10 would go back especially for the dogs: Canela, Chocolate, and Rocky"

"Pool and staff are amazing!!"
