A beautiful and comfortable hotel
We really loved our stay at Sendero. It is a gorgeous hotel. We had a floor room right off the pool area. I was a tad nervous that it would be noisy at night with the restaurant a few steps away, but not at all. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and the glass wall to the outdoor shower was beautiful. It was quite the experience. My husband is going through cancer treatment right now and he said this was his favorite and most comfortable hotel that we stayed at in Nosara. The AC was quiet and worked well during the hot week. We loved the complimentary coffee and banana bread in the morning and quiet time by the pool. The staff was very kind and helpful with arranging our ride to LIR and everything went smoothly. The only thing I didn’t like was they charged a resort fee of $50 per day and a $10 Nosara donation fee per day. I was surprised because this was not stated when booking through hotels.com. I discussed it with the concierge and she kindly refunded the charge on our Credit Card. There was also some construction going on. They are expanding - creating villas to the left of the property and still working on some rooms within the hotel as well. So there was some noise in the middle of the day, but it wasn’t too bad. I’m excited to see what they are doing. All in all, Sendero was a beautiful, safe and relaxing place to stay in Nosara. Location is perfect and a short walk to the beach and restaurants. You’re even greeted with coconuts! What a dream. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel, great interior and exterior design. Amazing location, very friendly hotel staff. But poor service at check in/out, didn’t seem like making sure guests would want to come back or stay longer is a goal.

I loved the ease of getting to the beach via a private beach path! The dining options around the hotel are also amazing (maximum 15 min walk). The hotel pool was great to dip in to cool off. Will be back another time!

The property is beautiful and well maintained. The restaurant is expensive but was consistently great. The bed in our room was extremely comfortable. The hotel is located in a great area, walking distance to the beach and to great restaurants. The only downside is the pool area. The pool is kind of small and does not get a lot of sun during day. It’s more like a lounging area rather than a pool you can swim. There’s few lounging chair and an interesting smell in that area (not horrible but bothered me a bit). I like to split the time between beach and pool and I did not feel great doing it there. For the rate they charge, I feel the cost/benefit is not quite there.

4/10 Fair

Beautiful spot steps from the beach. Staff is great. But it is ridiculously expensive and the restaurant is more expensive than DC or NY. There’s a pervasive septic tank smell that makes the $366 price tag for the room difficult to accept.

Verified Orbitz guest review

6/10 Good

The place had lots of mosquitoes. They charged double what they should be for having staff that aren’t well trained. The dining area had dirty cushions. We left early and the only bonus was they gave us a refund. The location is good next to the beach but the pool is cold because it gets no sun. We will never be back and will consider lower cost cabins down the street. Lower the price or procide better service. It felt like a total rip off and we’ve been to Costa Rica five times. Nantipa is much much better for the price.

To enter into Sendero is to enter into an experience into itself. They’ve made the place feel huge while keeping it small, they have free coffee and free cookies every day. The restaurant has amazing food, drinks and the staff makes it a class of its own. Hi Ceasar btw! :) The beds were the most comfortable of all of our stays, we wanted to buy the same mattress once we got home. Unfortunately due to a family emergency we had to depart early but the staff made the entire process seamingless for us. Only one draw back for me for Sendero is the amount of lounge chairs (4) for 26 rooms. When we wanted to just lay by the pool, it was usually impossible. Great location, the beach is down a nice safe path and restaurants and shops are just a walk away or you can use of their complimentary bikes. We’d love to return.

The best food in Nosara. The rooms are very clean ,functional, quiet and charming with a very comfortable bed. Easy access to the beach. The staff was excellent and friendly. The plunge pool was a delight in the extremely hot weather we had while here. The only thing lacking here is a long swimming pool which is fine really because the beach is nearby.

The property was cleans beautifully, and the hotel staff was amazing. The restaurant food was amazing though the service was a little slow and we had to remind them of things at times. Other than that, the staff was incredibly accommodating and super full with getting reservations booked and helping us with our dog. The location is fantastic and the town is amazing.
