This gem is the place for you if you are looking for more than just a room in a hotel. Its value comes from the experience of joining "the family" for a drink and dinner in the open air living room/restaurant/pub after your day on the beach. "The family" consists of Juri and Chiara--the young and charismatic proprietors-- their amiable... More

Reading everyone's reviews makes me miss this place! Stayed here for 3 (original) but 4 in the end in mid-Feb. Hosts were super friendly, social, and had great advise for a hidden white sand beach - ask Juri or Chiara about their secret beach! Great food for breakfast & dinner. We headed to the main tourist beaches, very close by... More

This accommodation met our needs. It was cozy, clean, good price and we relaxed by the pool during the day and in the evening. Juri and Chiara were lovely hosts - they were very helpful and easy to talk to. Juri made us awesome pizza and we also dined on the swordfish - both were delicious meals. We travelled to... More

This lovely, charming hotel is full of character. Juri and Chiara and their hilarious dog Pluff were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The restauraunt serves authentic fresh home-made Italian cuisine, with a local fisherman bringing his latest catch to serve up in the evening too. Juri shared some helpful advice about the area and following his... More

My girlfriends and I were travelling in Costa Rica for a week. We all met at the Nicoya bus station and ended up at Playa Garza in the dark. The bus thankfully dropped us off really close to the hotel and as we wandered into the driveway they called out "Sarah!" We were relieved to be in the right place!... More

My original plan was to go to a 'Surf and Learn Spanish' program in Guiones (about 40 minutes North of Garza) however after talking to several... More

Although I didn't stay at the hotel, I did have the pleasure of eating at the restaurant for lunch and dinner one day. Delicious pizza and wonderful hospitality from Juri and Chiara made this a little, unique gem in the middle of beautiful Costa Rica.

I stayed at this location for a week and I had one of the best weeks of my life. The place is so warm and welcoming and the owners and their dog are so kind and sweet. Even though I was staying there by myself I still had a great time. The food is absolutely fantastic and some of the... More

Originally we had only booked one night here as we did not know what our plans were going to be but we had to extend that to 3 nights. Juri and Chiara and Pluff (the dog) are amazing. Garza is outside of the "main strip" in Nosara (which I prefer). It is on a nice quiet beach (with beautiful stars... More
