Olas Verdes Hotel

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.

This was my family‘s second visit to Olas verdes over the past year and a half. We are a family of three, 15-year-old son. We were blown away by their customer service and warmth in December 2023 and had to return for spring break April 2025. Every single employee seems generally interested and invested in your family having the best experience possible; from helping arrange excursions and transportation to just checking in and making sure we are having fun, Olas Verdes customer service is tops! And being able to have fresh beach towels anytime you want, and our laundry done free of charge anytime we want is just the icing on the cake. Don’t hesitate to book this fabulous boutique hotel!

We had such a great experience at Olas Verdes. It was our first time and the staff made the experience so enjoyable. From our correspondence prior to arriving, to their great attention throughout our stay they were committed to ensuring we had an incredible experience. Anytime an issue surfaced or we had any request they responded quickly and handled it efficiently. The proximity to the beach is incredible and the ability to store our surfboards outside our casita was perfect. The breakfast is delicious and such a bonus that it comes with your stay! I am a bit resistant to leaving this review because I want to keep it as my little secret, but that wouldn't be fair! Book your next trip here, you won't be disappointed. We are already in process of booking for next year and we just left yesterday!

This was such a lovely place to stay! Beautiful pool, lovely restaurant, and best of all - just steps to the beach (playa guiones). You walk through the sweetest little jungle path to get there and see crabs. Perfect for surfing - I rented a board from surf safari (separate entity but on premises) and it was so easy. The staff is also incredibly friendly. My room was super comfortable - kind of basic but very very easy - island chic. Oh and there are amazing birds everywhere

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!
