Olas Verdes Hotel

We stayed at olas verde for 3 days after staying in Tamarindo for 3 days. Olas Verde is a hotel immersed in nature. You wake up to howler monkeys which are not loud and obtrusive but a soft howl. It’s actually enjoyable to see them swing from the branches. We stayed in the room suite above the kitchen. The suite had a sitting area with pull out couch and outdoor rooftop patio and full bathroom. It was a large suite but AC was only available in the bedroom not the entire suite, which was a little disappointing but we managed. It was rainy season so it was hot and humid. It was also buggy. They sell sunblock and off bug spray at the check in area. They also give complimentary juice drink and a water canteen for your stay. The route to the beach is a beautiful nature walk through the Forrest that leads to the beach where surfers enjoy catching some waves. The chef is amazing. Our meals weee absolutely perfect. I went fishing and caught wahoo, yellow fin tuna and Bonita. I brought it back to the resort cleaned and ready for the grill. She prepared it just the way I liked it- tuna tar tar and seared wahoo and tuna over fresh vegetables and mash potatoes. With each bite I was in heaven. Upon our departure She even prepared a seared wahoo sandwich with tartar sauce. It was the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. The bed was perfect and after a few days in the sun we slept well. They have a salt pool which was amazing and refreshing to soak in. The resort was overall quiet and peaceful. The local bartender made signature drinks which I enjoyed sampling. Staff was very cordial and accommodating to our few requests. They had bikes for us to use and explore the town which we enjoyed. Overall I would go back.

This was our second time to Nosara and wanted to half a family surf vacation. We loved this hotel and the people in it. The room was clean and spacious. We were very comfortable. The grounds of the hotel were beautiful. We loved how geared the hotel was for surfers and families. We brought our own boards and loved how we could just walk through the jungle and be on the beach. The food was excellent, every single meal, and reasonable priced. The people were so kind. Thank you Nicole, Daniela, and Johnny! We will definitely be back!

Our stay at the Olas Verdes Hotel was outstanding. The rooms are large and comfortable, rooms are generally made up while you go to breakfast and the staff are incredibly friendly and create a family like atmosphere for guests. The food is delicious, we actually had most of our meals here by choice. The hotel is a 3-5 minute walk to the beach, and our kids alternated going between the pool at the hotel, and playing in the waves at the beach. Easy to boogie board and surf, go running at the beach, bike into the local town (3-5 minute bike ride), with bikes provided by the hotel. The hotel thought of everything and were super responsive. Highly recommend!

All of the hotel staff is absolutely tremendous. They will help you with absolutely anything you need from setting up. Excursions to pointing you in the right direction to getting an insect out of your room. It is very friendly opening atmosphere. It is casual but still very nice. I could not have picked a better location for my first solo Costa Rica trip. My goal is to never go to the same place twice, but I may have to make an exception here.

The room we stayed in was beautiful and fully equipped. From there, we were able to observe families of monkeys in the surrounding trees—quite a spectacle. The staff was very friendly and always available to answer any questions we had. We wanted to snorkel, but the sea was very rough that day. However, the ATV ride to San Juanillo Beach was a great experience. The restaurant's food was very good; we had something different every night we were there, and the waiters' service was excellent.

Beautiful suite with one room very nice and breezy and one room with quiet a/c. The supplied us with coffee and with laundry service. The staff was lovely. The pool had some ocean water in it and no trace of chlorine. About the best pool ever. About 85F, perfect, same as the ocean. They always cleaned our room as we were at breakfast. What a lovely way to start the day. The beach is the stuff of dreams. Sand of all textures, natural swimming pools, good waves for all abilities. The restaurant was all you need for your stay. Each dish had a healthy tropical touch to it. Breakfast is included, beverages and a main like a Tico breakfast burrito or our favorite, pancakes with a banana-honey sauce. They do raw tuna remarkably well either as a bowl with green mango or as a tiradito or a number of choices. Whole snapper was fun. All the fish was perfect. Nice healthy veggie medley on the side. We paid about $440 per night including the shuttle to LIR, breakfast and laundry. We used nearby Agua Tibia for our surf lessons and they were excellent and $25 cheaper per class.
