I stayed at The Nomadic and had such a good experience. Mariela, Cynthia, Sylvia, and Levi were all so friendly and welcoming. You can feel the effort they put into creating a comfortable environment. The shared room was very clean, comfortable, and well thought out. There were hooks, shelves, and two drawers under each bed which made it easy to stay organized. The attached bathroom was also great with two toilets, two showers, and two sinks with baskets underneath for storing your things. Everything felt intentional and convenient. The location is perfect. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the beach and only a couple minutes from restaurants and shops. The pool area and facilities are beautiful with lots of places to chill and relax. I also loved the free daily yoga. Lauren was amazing. Overall such a peaceful, organized, welcoming place. I’d absolutely stay again.

From the moment we arrived at Nomadic Hotel, I felt an instant sense of peace — the kind that only comes from places built with love and intention. Every detail feels carefully thought out, from the warm welcome at check-in to the laid-back design that blends seamlessly with Nosara’s natural beauty. The rooms are airy, beautifully simple, and designed for rest. The shared spaces invite connection: the pool surrounded by palm trees, the cozy lounges and eating area, all beautiful. What makes Nomadic truly special is the energy — calm, kind, and inspiring. The staff genuinely care and go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. A little slice of paradise, a beautiful balance of adventure and serenity. Whether you’re surfing, exploring, or simply resetting your soul, this place gives you exactly what you needed. I feel lighter, grateful, and already dreaming of coming back ✨🤍

A beautiful place to stay with extremely friendly and kind staff who treated us like family more than customers. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The room is cozy and very comfortable. The pool was clean and refreshing for an evening swim. Breakfasts were healthy and satisfying. The coffee was perfect! Also within walking distance of the beach, shops, and many wonderful places to eat. We didn’t move our car once we had parked and enjoyed everything about the area.

I couldn’t have picked a better hotel for my visit Nosara. I even stayed in the dorm and I really enjoyed it. People that stayed in the dorm were all mid budget travellers, very quiet and it was really comfortable and safe

It is a lovely property and the staff are very friendly but it is a bit shy on basic amenities such as a small fridge in the room and ice machine.

Beautiful grounds, great staff.

This is an amazing hotel! The staff is so friendly and the grounds of the hotel were beautiful. I would come back here in heart beat. My only critique would be that the mattresses are not very comfortable . Outside of that, it’s a 5 out of 5.

I would absolutely stay at The Nomadic again. The location is great for both beach and restaurants. The ambiance is boutique chill. I loved the layout with most rooms having front porches facing the pool and also a private back patio. There are several cozy areas to play games or read. Breakfast was good- they served just one option but it did vary by day. One yoga class was included per day and I enjoyed all except the breath work (not my thing so I don’t do it). One day they ran out of coffee before 9am which should never happen in a hotel. They provide pool towels but don’t want guests taking them to the beach. This is my one suggestions- get other towels that can go to beach like the quick dry ones they sell in gift shop (for $50!).

Our entire experience was fantastic. The rooms are lovely, the garden/grounds are impeccably well taken care of, and the staff (including the owners) were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious (as was their special brand of organic Costa Rican coffee) and the coconut marg was a hit. It is an easy walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. We will be booking again.
