The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel

All the staff were incredible. Iveth, at the front desk was beyond helpful when needed and super nice. (she saved us a trip to town and arranged for medicine to be delivered, and more. Thank you, again) The restaurant staff were very polite and friendly. The hotel was super clean and very nice. The Surf Club staff were great, too. Can’t say enough.

We are only there for one night but both my wife and I were impressed with this small boutique hotel. The rooms were spotless and well thought and even the pool was exceptionally well designed and executed. Great place.

Staff is really welcoming and helpful! The rooms are amazing and the location of the hotel is the best you could find in Nosara. I even booked more nights because I love this hotel and this little surf and yoga town!

This place is wonderful . The staff are so kind, helpful, caring . We love it here. Our kids love it too

Beautiful hotel, right in the middle of town. The surf club rentals are a bit more expensive than others nearby but worth it for convenience and if you're renting for the week or longer. I stayed in a jungle room and felt this would be the best location (quiet, more privacy, balconies overlook greenery as opposed to the pool/hotel area). Amazing, friendly staff -- particularly Irene, Andres, and Juan Carlos.

Wonderful staff. Very clean, modern rooms. A little on the pricier side but this area seems to be moving this way from what’s we understand and they truly gave us a great stay. Restaurant was also great with good, clean and fresh food! Breakfast was included too!

Great hotel, great location.

Our family of 5 stayed here for several days and enjoyed every minute. The staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond to meet our needs and make our stay special. The pool area was very clean and relaxing and the rooms were perfect. The beach was within walking distance and the surf was the highlight of the trip for the kids. Local restaurants were all delicious and close to the hotel. We are definitely planning a return trip to Nosara and The Gilded Iguana.

Awesome place! Loved everything about the Gilded Iguana! Very clean property and the staff was incredible. We will definitely be back!

The Gilded Iguana is an absolute gem. Beautifully remodeled, near the beach, right in the middle of Nosara. The rooms were beautifully decorated; very minimal and clean but incredibly bright. The beds were comfortable, the water pressure was great, and housekeeping service was excellent. We were given a different room than what we booked 6 months earlier which was certainly a disappointment. They did offer to move us 3 days later, but to a "lesser" room than for which we booked (we decided to stay put). The restaurant service could use a little help, as service was slow, and often we weren't acknowledged. However, the staff at the hotel was always incredibly friendly. This hotel is more on the *family* side than couple side. We were on our honeymoon, and we were outnumbered by kids. Just something to remember but still an awesome place nonetheless.
