I spent four days here in late July. Service was spectacular, the staff was personable, pleasant, laid back and professional all at the same time. The room was clean, simply decorated and I especially liked the back outdoor porch/shower area. The location is unbeatable, it's no more than a 2 minute stroll to the beach. The fresh fruit juice cocktails... more

This hotel is very spartan in their rooms, comfy bed, nice sheets, small desk, and very basic bathroom. ( cheap tile, and fixtures, dim light, slow toilet) For art in the room, a large map of Costa Rica... nice porch with outdoor shower, not very private. A safe, 2 robes, and organic soaps and shampoo. I did not like the... more

Dear Ylara, Thank you so much for your comments! It is through our clients’ feedback that we are able to work on areas of improvement. I would like to mention that regarding the room amenities and décor, we truly believe that less is more, and that true simplicity is part of the beach life experience at Harmony Hotel. Nevertheless, we...

We stayed at the Harmony for 3 nights. It is on a very nice secluded beach in the Nicoya Peninsula. We thought it was 'beachfront' and it was not. We thought we would either have views of the sea or hear the waves but we were about 300m from the sand. We paid extra to stay in the bungalows which... more

When we met someone walking to Guiones Beach and told him we were staying at the Harmony, he said, "The Harmony is THE place to stay." He couldn't be more right! We just returned from a 7 night stay at the Harmony Hotel. We booked the hotel through the Safari Surf School as part of our package. Of the options... more

The other reviews pretty much say everything I would say about this hotel. It was fabulous and I had such a wonderful time. I have recommended this hotel to everyone I know! From the fresh fruit smoothies and the kind staff, to the luxurious rooms and yet comfortable, laid back vibe of the place, my time at Harmony could not... more

So cool!!!

I went to Harmony with friends for a surfing and relaxing vacation. I'm a beginner (my friends are more experienced) and we all had a great time in the waves. The hotel has boards to borrow, and staff is so friendly and welcoming. I loved the vibe and atmosphere at Harmony, I immediately felt relaxed and at peace in the... more

Remember you are in the Jungle. It seem some people need to get back to the simple life. The greatest treasure in Nosara is the people and the local flavor. You can stay for 2 weeks and eat at a different restaurant every night and never get a bad meal. more

My friend and I wanted to surf Nosara. We searched for a sustainable hotel and found Harmony. Beautiful, nestled in gorgeous vegetation and guarded by families of monkeys hanging out above us! The staff was very friendly and quick to respond to requests. The yoga classes were wonderfully challenging and the spa services were exactly what I needed after 5... more

The Best.

This is a special place. I've realized it from the moment I stepped in to the reception. This is the example of a place where charm and sustaintabilty coexist in a harmonious way. The staff, the bungalows, the food, the guys at the bar, the beach, surf, sunset, the mini bookstore, pool, spa (Oh My God!)... everything is brilliant and... more
