Dreamy little boutique hotel steps from the beach
Absolutely incredible stay at La Negra Surf Hotel. Rooms were spotless, modern, and well equipped and we loved our huge patio with hammock. The common area around the pool is beautiful and Destiny, the restaurant, is absolutely delicious (get the poke bowl, monkey coffee, and a cucumber margarita). Our server Melanie was the absolute sweetest, Isabel the manager was so kind, helpful and responsive, and Marian the groundskeeper was funny and so friendly! Best part - Playa Guiones is literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel on a little path thru the trees. Super quiet and relaxing, even with a very busy restaurant on the property. Isabel gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants for dinner (Pacifica Azul and Howler’s) which were both delicious. Will absolutely be back next time we come to Nosara and felt it was a good price (especially considering the prices of nearby hotels and that it’s closer to the beach than any of them)! Pura vida!

The rooms are practical, nice and clean. Not lux accommodations or prices, a very good value. The employees at the hotel (especially Isabel) and at the Destiny Restaurant on the property are all courteous, friendly and helpful. We took surf lessons on site. Ivan was our instructor. Patient and helpful. We had success! Many thanks for making our time there special. Pura Vida!

Fabulous Boutique Hotel
Could not have enjoyed it more. The food, location, cleanliness, and overall vibe was excellent. The staff from Derek (the owner), to Louise (the manager), to Ivan (the surf instructor), to all the wonderful people in the restaurant, and all the cleaning staff, could not have been more helpful or courteous in making sure we had a great stay. Thank you La Negra and looking forward to coming back.

We stayed at La Negra in 2018 and absolutely loved it! This is the reason why we returned for our honeymoon in February 2023 and stayed 4 nights. We were very disappointed in our stay as things have changed and not for the best, in our opinion. It was great that breakfast was included in the price but when the restaurant was closed, we had to wait an extremely long time to be served (30 minutes for a coffee) and the options were very limited. When the restaurant, which is opened to the public, was opened, the wait time was even longer and the noise was unbearable….not to mention the construction right across the street! We much preferred our first experience when there was a self-serve coffee area and quietness! We were looking forward to waking up in the morning and serving our own coffees and sitting quietly by the pool. We could not relax by the pool on hot afternoons as the restaurant was always busy and the noise of the people and BLENDERS took away any sense of peace and tranquility. They even moved the surfing boards cage right beside the rooms which means you cannot sleep-in as you can hear everything very clearly. There is also an iguana living in the ceiling of room 7 so be warned as you will hear it move around all the time (we were told he’s been living there for a few years). For those returning to La Negra, be prepared for a very big change and constant noise! Had we known about all of these changes and constant noise, we would have not stayed there again.

Simple, unique style; communal but also good for independent travelers who like privacy; great location - closest place to the beach I have stayed in Nosara (has a direct path through the greenery to a central beach location) and right in the middle to go either direction for local spots -- restaurants, surf shops, etc. Highly recommend.

2* surfing hotel with 4* price.
Okay hotel if you are a surfer or 20 something looking for a laid back no frills place. It's not a $230 hotel but ok at 1/2 that price. The good: as close to the beach as you can get in Nosara. Decent room, all simple and minimalist. Small but clean with a good bed and pillows. Good breakfast and dinner but not included in the room price. Nosara is a funky town with so many surf shops and yoga and fitness places. Very trendy food places--veggie, gluten free, vegan, organic, etc. Upscale boutiques. Expensive real estate. The place has been discovered but maintains a beach bum surfer vibe but with US prices Great surfing beach. The bad: tons of ants and a few spiders in the room. The pool looked sketchy. The only one who went in was the dog and he wouldn't even go all the way in. Horrible wifi. Glad we rented a unit with our car. Pretty small and unkempt grounds. Lots of minor issues that just made the place unpleasant. Left after 2 nights.

I would stay at La Negra again!
We had a wonderful stay at La Negra Surf & Soda and we would stay there again. It is beach close (100 yards) accessed by a path straight to the sand. The inner court yard of the hotel is a nice gathering place, laying by the pool, reading a book, or socializing with the hotel guests. Surf boards can be rented on site. Our room was cleaned each day, and the staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and accommodating. In addition to the great food that is cooked by the hotel chef, there are many great restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.

Nice clean spot, short walk to the beach.
Excellent boutique hotel w restaurant close to the beach in guinones. Check in was easy, rooms are simple but very clean. Staff recommended a guide service to see turtles at Ostional which worked out perfectly as the trip to the area was specifically to do so. Food at the soda is very good and staff gave excellent recommendations for other restaurants in the area. Definitely would stay here again.
