The staff were accommodating and always willing to help. Our room was lovely and as advertised online. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. The pools were wonderful and our spa experience was extremely positive.

Overall good value for dollar.

Our only complaint would be the cost of a poolside drink - it was wild!

This is our second stay and although we love the beauty of the location the hospitality wasn’t quite as accommodating as our first trip. We were there for a 60th bday and engagement and wasn’t a lot of notice to that. It was a bit more crowded than our first trip and think we’ll come back in July again for smaller crowds. Food is always good and can’t beat the sunset views from the infinity pool.

This resort has it all from delicious breakfast to excellent front desk concierge's service. Set on a high ridge or mountain in a nature reserve with spectacular views of the ocean. Easy access to the beaches thru a residential neighborhood. Plenty of nature to see with Howler monkeys at a safe distance in the trees throughout the resort and neighborhood. Access to the Nature Reserve trail is available from the resort but bring sturdy mud type shoes during the rainy season. We stayed in Room 31 which was very spacious for three guests (2 bedrooms) and has an excellent view of the jungle and ocean.

This was likely the best place I stayed during this trip to COsta Rica. Beautiful rooms, beautiful view. Comfortable bed, clean bathrooms and nice pools. I also saw a few coati , monkeys and birds. I guess that the main negatives would be that when I went on the hike in the forest around the property, there was this section with wooden posts across water that was a little difficult to cross and I may have gotten a little lost and there was a barking dog by itself on the trail which could have been bad if it was more aggressive, but it ran away. Also, I got lost going to the beach. However, all these things (including the unpaved drive to the place) could be seen as part of the Costa Rica experience (wild jungles, etc. Overall, I liked the place. Also, the food was extremely delicious.

The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms.
The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic.

Breakfast is included- panoramic views of ocean, river and mountains, the property is well maintained and in a super safe neighbourhood. Offers yoga classes and a variety of activities. Well worth the 10 min drive from Playa Guiones for some quiet serenity. Can’t wait to stay here again next time I return to Nosara!

Gorgeous setting, incredible sunsets, friendly staff. We loved looking out from our balcony or the infinity pools onto the bioreserve jungle below. We had an upper floor room (#9) right next to a tree that regularly had birds and howler monkeys coming through. Very peaceful. Spacious room. The food and drinks are at US resort-level prices, and there are no other places to eat within a 15-minute walk, so plan accordingly. The shuttle into town works well for daytime beach visits or lunch out, but the last shuttle back is at about 4:30 so if you stay in town for dinner you need to take a tuck-tuk back (uber not available here).

We loved our stay at Lagarta Lodge! Yes, the road uphill i dusty and bumpy. But well worth it. One of the best eco-lodges we have ever stayed at. ...The scenic location overlooking the confluence of Rio Nosara and the ocean fosters an impressive array of birds, monkeys, coati and other wildlife. ... Just as impressive is the cleanliness of the entire grounds, featuring 3 lovely pools, a jacuzzi, a yoga/health spa and a fine restaurant ... The staff is awesome! Helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They arrange shuttle service to local beach towns as well. During our week there, some became our friends! ... One caution - we felt the bedding could be improved -- firmer mattress, softer pillows. Otherwise, everything was Pura Vida!

First, we arrived by car and the road leading to Lagarta Lodge was rough to navigate, but once we arrived we were thrilled. Daniel greeted us in the lobby with a special drink and a hot moist cloth to was our hands. Our room had a panoramic view of the ocean and sunset. Our balcony was furnished with chairs, a table and a hammock. There were 3 infinity pools (one with a bar and one was a hot tub). Dining on site while watching the sunset was nothing short of remarkable. There was a complimentary shuttle that could take you in and out of Nosara. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the beach and the easy walk along the extended, sandy beach was very enjoyable. Staff were very prompt and attentive.

View from room, restaurant, lounge, and pools were consistently beautiful. Room was minimalist in style but very clean (few ants and other small bugs but to be expected in this area) and the hammock on patio was a nice touch. Breakfast and dinner were excellent! Wildlife was abundant (monkeys, coatimundi, red squirrels, and iguanas). Beaches were a bit of a walk to get to and, honestly, not that great.

Built on the side of a mountain in the jungle this property is incredibly unique. You definitely need an SUV to get there ' bad roads make for good people' but it is so worth it. Stunning views, delicious food, unmatched friendly service and all the amenities you could ask for. My only caution is that it is NOT for anyone with mobility issues as all the pathways have significant slopes and there are lots of stairs. The lush tropical jungle situated on a nature reserve made for jaw dropping beauty. Lots of great restaurants and beaches within walking distance and they offer a shuttle service to help you explore the area. 10/10 jungle experience.

The room was spacious and comfortable. We liked the bathroom and the balcony, too. The views from our balcony and even more from the restaurant are spectacular. The greatest negative is access: there is really no good way to get there without traversing some really terrible roads, and when the road improves you have to turn off onto an access road that is around 1.5 km long and as badly rutted as any of them. Fortunately, the restaurant is rather good, because there is no way we would have ventured on that road after dark.

We stayed only one night at Lagarta Lodge to kick off our vacation in Nosara and I didn’t want to leave! The property is absolutely stunning with a very special view from high up looking out to the ocean, that other hotels in the area don’t have available to them. We did a biological reserve tour and a couples massage and they both were highlights of our entire trip. The food was also our top favorite meals. The staff is so attentive and kind, and easy to get in contact with instantly via WhatsApp. We really did feel like VIP. Would 1000% stay again and recommend anyone else to at least spend a couple of nights at Lagarta Lodge while in Nosara.
