Oles Verdes was an amazing experience! The hospitality is unmatched! The welcome at check in was awesome. We were blown away. The resort is beautiful and very comfortable. Our room was great. Being on the second floor felt very private. We especially appreciated the laundry service that’s included. Wow. The food was delicious and the walking path to the beach was so convenient. The beach was beautiful and perfect for learning to surf. We loved the pool here. It had several places that you could sit in the pool comfortably and was beautifully landscaped. We walked almost everywhere and spent an afternoon riding bikes around the village. The bikes that are included to borrow with the resort were perfect, and we also appreciated that they had boogie boards to use at the beach as well. The surf school at the resort (it’s operated by a separate company, but is in the resort) was really great and the instructors were awesome. Thank you Oles Verdes!!

From the moment we arrived we fell in love with the people and the hotel in general. The staff is beyond kind and accommodating. The hotel is magical. Very quaint and very welcoming. The place is beautiful! I felt so lucky to stay there. They offer so much to their guests; laundry, refillable water bottles, soaps, coffee, etc.The beach access is impressive. I cannot say enough. If you are thinking of staying on this property do not hesitate! I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Spacious family suites and accessible beach
Our family of three stayed for four nights in the family suite bedroom with double bed and twin bed and separate living room space. Quarters were clean and roomy, AC unit was quiet and effective but only for the bedroom portion. The living room space didn’t have AC but in June wasn’t really necessary and with open windows and a fan it was enough. The noise from the bar and pool were loud from our living room space but the bedroom was very quiet. We had a big red ant problem on arrival, after squashing 50 of them I messaged the hotel for help and they sent someone around to spay and they did more treatments the next day while we were out. The hotel is a three minute walk to the beach through a damp cut jungle path and if you don’t move fast the mosquitoes will find you. The pool was nice and the convenience of surf lessons, board, and boogie board rentals were good. If you’re lucky you’ll get to observe capuchin monkeys play from your window and definitely get to listen to the howler monkeys often. The breakfasts and restaurant were just ok and a bit slow. I’d recommend walking over to Al Chilie for much better food as often as possible. The hotel staff tries extra hard to be congenial and provide the best customer service. This hotel is not within close walking distance to any town setting but the beach is right there and so beautiful.

My family of 4 (me, husband & two teen boys ages 15 & 13) had a wonderful & relaxing stay at Olas Verdes. It was everything we wanted. It’s not too big, so it’s not crowded. There were times we questioned if we were the only ones staying there. The food was amazing with homemade breads, etc. & breakfast is included. We left the hotel a few times to eat in-town, but felt the food at Olas Verdes was the best. The staff was very warm, friendly & attentive, but not overbearing. Anything we needed was addressed within 5 minutes. Boogie boards & bikes are included & there are surf lessons on-site for a fee. The beach was a scenic 5-minute walk from the hotel. We had the “2 bedroom apartment”, which was really 2 one-bedroom apartments with one on top of the other. Each one had a small kitchen & one had a full fridge. The entrances were separate. It worked great for us given we have teenagers, but something to consider if you have smaller children. It felt like an airbnb w the amenities of a hotel. AC is only in the main bedrooms, not in the living rooms. That wasn’t a problem for us. Laundry service was included as well, which was a huge plus. When we return to Nosara in the future, we will absolutely stay here again.

I booked and did not realize the distance from Liberia Airport (3hrs) but the drive was beautiful and honestly loved seeing the country. It is a hidden gem. Fantastic service, FOOD and DRINKS. Far better than I expected to be honest. Easy walk to the beach (like 3 minutes under the canopy of the jungle). The beach was fantastic and not crowded at all. I would def recommend. Not a great deal to do around there but a few restaurants and shops within walking distance. We were looking for this exact experience.

Family vacation mid-January. Hotel is beautiful and staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is about as close to the beach as you can get in Nosara. Walk right out of the hotel to the footpath to the beach. The restaurant was excellent. Safari Surf School is right there. Definitely recommend.

Great food, friendly staff, 5 min scenic walk to one of the best beaches in the world. Howler monkeys and lizards visit the property - (this is a plus for me). Beds and rooms were comfortable. The roads going in were bumpy but don’t let that discourage you - the property and Nosara as a whole are fantastic. We’ll be back. :)
