Fodor's Expert Review The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel
Playa Guiones, Nosara, Guanacaste, 50206, Costa Rica
This lively hotel-bar-restaurant has been a Nosara fixture for more than 35 years and has a chic, modern aesthetic. There's a small childrens' pool, a large saltwater pool, and a Jacuzzi for adults. The upscale cool surfer vibe continues into the spacious and airy rooms, featuring tropical wood furniture and large bathrooms with indoor and outdoor rain showers. The restaurant also serves meals throughout the day, from breakfast onward.
