Absolutely loved Sunset Shack. Such a lovely bunch working there, food and drinks were fantastic and its location is perfect, especially if a beach and surf lover

Although on the main street, it is tucked away with a lot of space and very comfortable. A five minute walk to the beach. One can explore the area completely on foot. I especially appreciated that Tica massage was 30 seconds from my front door! I loved that there were two doors in the room, which allowed a crossbreeze, lots of light and a sweet little patio to sit and read.

Perfect spot. Only thing id recommend is more exterior night lighting and anti-slip mats / handrails in the bathroom.

Quiet, lots of monkeys, close to harmony, farmers market and beach. Comfortable lines, nice mini bar with cold drinks daily in the room. Tico massage right across the street.

Had a great stay at the Sunset Shack! Check-in was seamless, and the staff was super responsive via WhatsApp. The free breakfast is awesome—you can order straight off the full menu (breakfast burrito, granola bowl, pancakes, fresh OJ, coffee, etc.), and everything was delicious. The location is amazing—you can’t get much closer to the beach, and it’s easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The rooms had strong WiFi, AC, and were quiet at night. Daily housekeeping was a nice touch. The pool doesn’t get much sun during the day but was a relaxing spot to hang out before dinner. Harmony across the street was a fantastic dinner option, and we appreciated the yoga discounts there too. Reception was super helpful—they assisted with cash and booking tennis reservations, which made things easy. The only downside is that the rooms are pretty dark during the day, but the quiet pool made up for it. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at the Sunset Shack!!
The Sunset Shack is the perfect place to stay for a surf trip in Nosara! It is quiet and chill compared to other places in the area, and it's a short walk down to the beach. Our room was very comfortable and a perfect size for our family. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and the food at Al Chile is fresh, delicious and nourishing. And reasonably priced. We so enjoyed our daily breakfasts and lunches. We also appreciate that the road is paved by the Sunset Shack as it keeps the dust down as compared to other places in the area. We loved relaxing by the pool and drinking fresh juice in between our surf sessions. Definitely make dinner reservations for every evening of your stay during busy times. We enjoyed multiple dinners at Al Chile, the Harmony Hotel, La Luna and the Guilded Iguana.
