I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nosara. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean, and the grounds are immaculate. The one drawback is it's not on the beach so you have to take their shuttle or drive. It only takes a few minutes to get there so it wasn't a big deal for... More

After a terrible stay further south at a mediocre hotel, this place was a refreshing change. Check In: We checked in and they took our bags with nice professionalism. We received two yummy welcome drinks while we checked in. We reserved a basic room which was ok but it didn't have much of a view so we upgraded to the... More

Our family stayed there in late July. Ignore all the bad reviews, this place was amazing. We had gotten to Playa Guiones late afternoon, and our hotel was not what we expected. We went to all the hotels in the area, and none had rooms. Lastly, we came here and it was amazing. The manager offered us a a two-story... More

This hotel was trying very hard to be a luxury hotel but just didn't make it. The rooms were very nice, but the grounds are very tiny and gated by barbed wire, giving it a claustrophobic feel. There was a gym but the hotel did not provide a map or other list of services to let you know it was... More

First, we travel about 6 hours from Arenal hoping to relax and enjoy Nosara after our long drive. NOPE. We get there, credit card reservations in hand that were faxed 3 months in advance, and they cannot 'find' our reservation. We call for the manager as the receptionist says she does not have rooms with what we need. Surely they... More

This was a nightmare! We booked our trip almost 3 months in advanced and confirmed all of our details the week before our vacation. Unfortunately, L’Acqua Viva “lost” our reservation and refused to acknowledge or honor the rooms and rates…even though we had the printed confirmation we received from them. They attempted to “upgrade” our rooms, for an additional $150.00... More

My husband and I recently stayed at this beautiful resort in Nosarra. I booked the hotel after reading about it on Trip Advisor, but only booked us for the first three nights as I wanted to be sure I liked the resort. As soon as we arrived, we knew we would stay our entire time there. We were given a... More

We just spent the weekend at L'Acqua Viva and had a really great experience. We almost didn't book the trip because of a number of bad reviews on tripadvisor. Upon closer inspection I saw that the bad reviews were from 2011 and the most recent reviews are all good. I can only suspect that there were some changes made in... More

I was in Nosara a couple of times last year and I was really impressed by the hotel design when I passed by. It was not only different but attractive somehow. During my third visit to Nosara—and since it was my birthday and I wanted something special—I stopped by, made the reservation for dinner and waited for the time. The... More
