Sendero Hotel

Nosara

"An unforgettable stay at Sendero Nosara I absolutely loved my stay! It’s perfectly located in the heart of Nosara. It’s just steps from the beach and within walking distance of amazing shops and restaurants. I came here to destress from busy city life, and the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The space is fresh, beautifully designed, and instantly feels like home. The entire team was wonderful — from the front desk to the bar, restaurant, management, and even the surf shack staff....

"Loved my stay here! The staff were super friendly and always happy to help with tour ideas and tips for things to do. We had a flat tire and the owner was very helpful with letting us use a phone and making sure we were taken care of, it was really appreciated! The pool was amazing with the best views—definitely a spot I could hang out all day. My room was cozy and really comfortable. The area was very quiet which made relaxing and sleeping easy! Overall just a great vibe and experience—would...
