Beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff, incredible food with many gluten free accommodations, and wonderfully working AC in the room (a must for me in warm climates). The concierges were super helpful in arranging dinner reservations, excursions, and transportation.

Very nice hotel in Nosara. The surf club didn’t wow us - gal was not very knowledgeable and was more interested in speaking to her friend than helping us. We ended up taking lessons elsewhere and more accessible and less expensive.

Nosara was the 2nd stop for us on our honeymoon and the Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel was an excellent option! We stayed in a yoga room which was very comfortable and had its own outdoor shower as tons of space. The property is beautiful, very clean and newly updated with a wonderful, helpful staff. It’s in an extremely convenient location, right by a trail to the beach, one of the downtown areas with tons of restaurants, bars, shops and nearby fresh juice bars. We walked everywhere except for when we had dinner at La Luna (highly recommend for stunning sunset views and delicious, fresh cuisine). Tamarindo is a very laid back small town that is big on surfing, yoga & wellness. One of the 5 blue zones in the world, the tap water is mineral rich & high alkaline & delicious! This is a very safe town with friendly locals & travelers but be warned that the roads driving into Nosara are rough - many dirt roads with lots of potholes.

LOVELY!!!!!!!!
100% recommend. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had absolutely the most lovely time. We booked in early November because its less crowded and the prices were better. I was worried about that time frame (that it would be too rainy during the tail end of the wet season) but the weather was perfect and wonderful! It rained briefly twice while we were there and did not dampen any of the fun!

Gilded Iguana is a beautiful property with beautiful amenities, and excellent service all around. The hotel restaurant was great, with wonderful breakfast selections and the best coffee in all of Costa Rica. Travelers please note: the guilded iguana is a surf inspired hotel and caters specifically towards the local surf culture of Nosara.

Very cute hotel. Clean and had everything we needed. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to book tours etc for you and are excellent with communicating with guests. Breakfast was included and it was delicious with many options. They bring you a big plate of fruit and fresh pasteries before you even order breakfast. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach (if you are there during raining season, you could use a pair of rain boots to navigate the giant puddles if you decide to walk to restaurants and shops). Overall an excellent place.

This was my third visit to Playa Guiones/Nosara area, but my children’s first visit to CR! The Guilded Iguana surpassed all expectations! We loved the hotel for its friendly, helpful staff, super clean hotel, amazing housekeeping, excellent breakfast, dining options, pool, we can go on! A few minutes to the beach, and we highly recommend the Iguana Surf Club if you’ve never surfed. The staff really takes care of you to ensure you have everything you need so you’re just enjoying your vacation! So many personal touches they added to our stay that really made us feel welcome and special. Kids raved about it too and said they’d love to go back soon! As well, the location is central to boutique shopping and other restaurants in the area, so you don’t need a vehicle! All in all, we highly recommend The Gilded Iguana for a wonderful stay!

Great property. Beautiful rooms. Excellent location. The only negative is one key per room. When you are traveling with teenagers going in different locations it makes it inconvenient and several times we had to ask staff to let us into the room. First time in my many travels.

This may be my favorite hotel ever, and I travel a lot. I play a game during my stays where I think of things I’d do better if I owned the hotel. I can’t come up with one single thing! Room was amazing and bed was so comfortable. Staff was so friendly. Restaurant was really good. Free breakfast was a full meal. And the prices they charge for food and drinks is so reasonable. The entire upscale surfer vibe really worked for us. I would come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I’ve already started looking at prices. And internet was perfect. You could easily work with confidence from your room (or even out by the pool). I can’t recommend this place enough.

The hotel is beautiful but there is nothing major about it. Prices of everything is the same ( if not higher ) than an expense s city in the US. The good quality is not great . Service at the restaurant is not friendly and often confused. Nosara is nice - Guiones is a very nice beach but it has lost his true Costa Rican soul. Locals are not friendly and only looking at making more money from US tourists . I would not return to the hotel .

The staff is really friendly and very helpful. We also really liked the restaurant of the property. They offer great options for breakfast and dinner.

Great stay overall. Staff was nice and accommodating. I wish we had been notified about the ongoing construction, it wasn’t very relaxing by the pool with all of the noise all day long. On the first day someone walked into my room, the hotel too the incident seriously and I felt safe staying at the property. The location is perfect and right next to the beach. A few restaurants, coffee shop and juice bars in a close proximity. Gym schedule was inconvenient and the space is very, very small. I prefer to get my workouts out of the way early in the morning, however there’s are group fitness classes during that time. No treadmills or elliptical machines. The food at the hotel was good and great coffee. I stayed during low season, the hotel was not crowded.
