“Beautiful boutique hotel”
+Beautiful boutique hotel in perfect location.
−The only negative was that the yoga classes were on during the middle of the day so I was always surfing and not able to attend. Would have loved an evening class !

“Beautiful boutique hotel in great location”
+Beautiful hotel, I would 100% recommend it and definitely would go back. There is so much attention to detail and design, from the tiles to the common areas, the cosy couches to read a book in or the beautiful landscaping around the pool. Plus a 5 minute walk to the beach and surf breaks.
−Not really any furniture in the dorms for travellers like a small table or place to put your luggage but I was the only person staying in the dorm so it wasn’t an issue.

“An AMAZING place to stay! Great people & environment. 3rd time staying here!”
+This was my third time staying at the Nomadic as a female solo traveler and I could not recommend this place enough! Janice the owner and Mariela go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and truly take care of you. The location is incredible - and with breakfast/a daily class included, you truly cannot beat it! Thank you again for everything. I will always choose to stay at the Nomadic for these reasons… the people are wonderful!

“Gorgeous hotel, great location, bad breakfast.”
+The Nomadic is beautiful - very thoughtfully designed with plenty of surprising details - it was a visual feast. Our room was spacious and had an outdoor terrace. One thing that stood out (which is rarely done well in beach hotels) is that there were plenty of hooks around the room and in the veranda to hang clothes, wet bathing suits, etc. Little details like "coins" for leaving tips for the cleaning staff if you don't have cash, which are then added to your bill, were great! And there are two outdoor showers at the entrance to wash off beach sand. The lounge beds around the pool were super comfortable and had good shade. The location is also excellent, an easy 5-minute walk from Giones beach. There is a walking path right next to the Nomadic that takes you to the other side of Guiones, a beautiful path full of tree shade that is sponsored by the hotel - great initiative. We barely had to use our car while we were there because everything was within walking distance. When I contacted them via this platform about an AC that wasn't working and, later, an object we thought we'd lost in our room, I got fast, good responses. They offer free yoga classes (I didn't take any, but the yoga
−Food is not the Nomadic's strength. The breakfast is strangely bad for such a beautiful and pricey hotel. I was surprised by the mini portions, strange things like just 1 mini plantain in the "typical" breakfast (unheard of in Costa Rica, I'm a local, you always get at least 3), mini portion of fruits that did not include yoghurt (I was told I'd have to pay extra for yoghurt and granola), and no black tea - I was charged extra for a tea! You also didn't have a choice; it was whatever was on the menu, and it was just not good. Having stayed in comparable hotels that offer delicious, generous breakfasts with a variety of food choices and drinks, I found this disappointing. I ended up having to go for second breakfast around town on most days I was there. On their website, they described "a tempting selection of smoothies, juices, coffee, tea, poolside bites, sweet treats, specialty cocktails, wines, and beers", and I was really looking forward to that, but when I went to order from their big drinks menu (think matcha with collagen sort of thing) they didn't have half the things on the menu, and there was no food to speak of.

“Perfection”
+I loved my stay at the Nomadic & ended up extending it from 2 nights to 5. I’d have stayed longer if I wasn’t a backpacker on a budget & would absolutely come back. I stayed in the dorm & it was so clean & felt nothing like being in a dorm really (granted there were only ever 2-3 of us in there). The breakfasts were delicious every day, the pool and surrounds were gorgeous & I loved the daily yoga classes. Lots of places in the hotel to sit and relax, my personal fave being the rope canopies & the hanging chairs. So peaceful.
−It was a little pricey but this is Nosara, one of if not the most expensive place in Costa Rica. It’s like that for a reason, it’s divine & restful.

+Skvelý a ochotny personál. Vždy se mi ve všem snažili vyjít vstříc a byli moc milí. Krásné prostory a příjemná energie, dobrá dostupnost k pláži. Velmi doporučuji.
−Uklid by mohl bylt trochu důkladnější a na pokoji nebyla bohužel lednička. Při komunikaci s hotelem jsem nedostala odpověď ani na whatsapp ani na booking.

“Gerne wieder. Es war super!”
+Frühstück war super und abwechslungsreich. Der Gärtner Seoul ist ein sehr angenehmer Zeitgenosse, aber auch die Managerin und die Besitzer sind super!
