The Harmony Hotel is the perfect combination of low-key luxury, personal wellness, and authentic connection to the unique natural setting of the Costa Rican Pacific coast. Located on Guiones Beach in Nosara, the Harmony is a stone’s throw from a pristine surf break with consistent year-round waves, ideal for a surfing adventure for any level. You can bring your own board, or borrow one of ours from the surf rack on your way out to the beach. Our 24 guest accommodations—each with indoor and outdoor space—are nestled in lush gardens of native plants that afford plenty of opportunities for wildlife sightings. Two secluded 3-bedroom villas with private entrances offer the utmost privacy with easy access to the hotel grounds. The Harmony Healing Centre is designed as a place of restoration, nurturing and peace with a full menu of all-natural, handmade treatments and an open-air yoga studio. The on-site Restaurant and Juice Bar showcase the bounty of the region using fresh ingredients, and our large outdoor pool offers the perfect spot to lounge away a warm afternoon.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights in August 2023. I highly recommend this hotel. 1. Great location (walking distance to many of the landmarks and Tram 1), 2. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating, 3. The room was spacious and modern with hardwood floors. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, very true to its rating. We were at the Hotel Le Friedland earlier in Paris and it did not deserve its 4-star rating (3 stars at best).

Second half of an eight night trip to Costa Rica, 30th anniversary, last four nights at The Harmony Hotel. Took the advice of another review and booked a bungalow rather than a room as they said noise next door could be an issue? All quiet where we were! Bed was super comfy and the wife again loved the outdoor shower! We stayed in Bungalow 14 and with that, I'd say it has a lot of what I might call "old charm". Any upgrade would take away from that, but it also might make the stay a little more soothing. AC worked great and kept the room cool. Only down side was an invasion off fruit flies, and that might be remedied with a threshold under the door, weather stripping and some new windows. The rest of the place is nice! The wait staff, house keeping, juice bar girls and the guys at the surf shack were all kind and very helpful. Grounds were kept clean and they worked at it daily! Pool area was relaxing and had quick access to the bar. Love all the pathways to different spots on the property and the walk to the beach. Had breakfast each morning & helpings are large - couldn't eat it all. I started asking for half helpings or just the fruit plate after the first one. We only had lunch once, a late salad the first day upon arrival, & it hit the spot! We asked if dinner menu was the same as lunch and were told it was. Never saw a yoga schedule or a spa menu until we found that area of the hotel while walking the paths. Another guest pointed me that way when I asked where the juice bar was. Might be helpful to work on the website a bit - add a link to the menu, spa offerings and yoga schedule. If any of that was in the room, we simply missed it. We saw a lot of wildlife - monkeys, iguanas, lizards, wide variety of birds, cool looking squirrels and a family of Coatis (with 8-10 young ones) hung out with us a bit as well. Only wish I was a better surfer, GREAT location for that!!!…

We had a delicious dinner at the Harmony Hotel restaurant. The menu was varied and offered plent if gluten free, vegetarian and dairy free options, too. The watermelon margarita was delicious and POWERFUL! The only thing I would say could be improved was the speed with which the food came. Too fast! We would have liked to enjoy our cocktail first but our appetizers and main all arrived in quick succession before we could complete anything. Quite opposite our other experiences in Nosara. Regardless, the setting is nice and there is plenty of parking and we would return for the food.

Excellent hotel. Great amenities, good food and service. Very friendly staff and great location. You can walk to the beach or to either of the two "downtown" locations. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I look forward to going back.

The hotel has access to the beach which is great along with complementary surf boards and bikes. The single rooms were super comfortable and cute! Only downside was the sound barrier for the rooms isn't great - you can hear everything next door/outside. They do have private bungalows on the grounds though! Grounds were beautiful, food was delicious (breakfast included). They also offer yoga classes and have a juice bar on site! Walking distance to the rest of town and super welcoming staff.

We stayed there for 3 days after 7 days at another hotel nearby. Great location, at the heart of Playa Guiones. Excellent service at the front desk as well as at the restaurant. The beach is 50 meters away - 2 minutes walk from the hotel. Rooms are very clean, beds comfortable, really nice pool and had a great stay. We definitely recommend.

This hotel has for the most part friendly staff and a decent location. It is not a luxury hotel, but rather an average US three star hotel, but charges luxury hotel rates. It has to make up its mind who it wants to cater to; families with small children or adults seeking a calm relaxing stay. The week we were there, (March), it was overrun by tons of noisy out of control kids and self-important adults conducting loud business on their laptops and phones in all the areas reserved for calm and tranquility. The pool area was completely overrun by kids with all sorts of play gadgets and playing all their games like canon ball and Marco Polo etc. The rooms surrounding the pool area have wafer thin walls and therefore all the noise from the pool and hallways is constantly overheard inside the room. Front desk was always friendly and helpful, but that is to be expected with the rates they charge. The food in the restaurant was good in regards to vegetables and fruit but mediocre regarding fish and meat. We found this to be true throughout all of Nosara though and not only for the Harmony restaurant. If you are looking for calm and tranquility, there are far better alternatives in Nosara. If you are there with young children it might be your choice.…

Hey there! Thanks for your comments, and of course we're disappointed that you didn't fully enjoy your time with us. Indeed, this time of year we have a number of families that visit because of spring break in the states, so it can be more boisterous than usual. We'll continue to work on communicating that better ahead of time, and sincerely hope you had some happy moments here in Nosara!

This place is a true gem of Costa Rica. We had a wonderful stay in this single-story hotel, surrounded by jungle. The room was beautiful, spacious with lovely linen bedding and a large terrace with an outdoor shower, hammock, and comfortable seating area. There was not a single piece of plastic in the whole of the hotel. Even the wooden recycling bins were lined with paper bags. The rooms were spotless, the minibar best ever - with fresh juice and nuts and dried fruit. The breakfast was plentiful and excellent with beautifully cooked eggs and fresh fruit. The staff was extremely helpful and everybody went out of their way to help us. The concierge and the front desk were fantastic. There are daily pilates/yoga classes in a beautiful open studio surrounded by nature. The teachers are international but fantastic. An hour of aerial yoga was particularly inspiring. The beauty treatments are out of this world. The massages are fantastic, the staff very professional, kind and attentive. The pool is clean, the beach is 10 minutes walk away. We had beautiful bamboo bikes at our disposal and cycles around Nosara with pleasure. It is a safe beautiful place. This hotel has indulged all of our requests and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.…

We enjoyed 4 nights at this boutique hotel. Initially, we worried our bungalow number 12 was too close to the road, but when we closed the bathroom door and had AC at night, it was fine. The outdoor patio was great with two comfortable rocking chairs and table,outdoor shower, sofa, area to dry towels etc. and hammock, fan with big tree to enjoy visiting wildlife. There was a sofa and chair and desk in bedroom with small fridge. We were mainly in the room to sleep as we enjoyed walking the beach just steps from the property in the morning, the wonderful breakfast, yoga, the pool with comfortable chairs and shade, and sunset on the beach. We only dined at the hotel one night as there are great places within walking distance to explore. Fun, chill, friendly hotel.

I stayed at Casa Harmony in the Hotel Harmony with my wife for a week in January of 2022. I loved the resort and the house. Casa Harmony is not fancy, but everything worked. I rented a golf cart, not a car to get around. You will definitely need your own transportation around town. I drove to the hotel once or twice a day to go surfing. I recommend a trip to the nearby grocery to stock the house up with snacks. We made some lunches at the house. The only area for improvement was some confusion about access to the hotel. I found casa Harmony on Trip Advisor, where the heading says breakfast included. That is not the case. It also implied that a daily yoga class were included. That is also not the case. My wife ended up taking her yoga classes at the very nearby resort , Bodhi Tree and loved them. The staff at the resort is excellent . Friendly and helpful. I will return to this hotel…

Thanks so much for your review! I'm sorry that we weren't more clear that Casa Harmony doesn't include the breakfast and yoga classes offered to guests who stay on the hotel property! Thank you for calling it to our attention and helping to set expectations for future guests at the house. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the other aspects of your stay and we'll be sure to pass along your compliments to the staff at the hotel. Warm regards from Nosara.
