Fodor's Expert Review Harbor Reef Hotel
Follow signs from Café de Paris turnoff toward Playa Guiones, Nosara, Guanacaste, 50206, Costa Rica
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
It's easy to lose yourself in the junglelike gardens of this low-key hotel, where comfortable and simply chic rooms and suites cater to both surfers and families. The open-air restaurant ($$) serves an American menu, with fresh fish, steak, chicken, pastas, Tex-Mex dishes, and during high season, Taco Tuesdays with $2 tacos, reggae music, and surfing videos.
PROS
- attractive grounds near beach and surf breaks
- complimentary bicycles to take for a spin
- swim-up bar
CONS
- bland rooms
- small pool
- service at restaurant can be slow
