The Sunset Shack was fantastic for our family trip to Nosara. The beach is super close, and the town is very cute. We were right in the middle of it all. Monkeys in the mango trees on the property in the morning, and iguanas roaming all day. The food, the staff, and the hotel itself were all 5 stars! We would love to return to Nosara, and would not stay anywhere else. Thank you Sunset Shack!

Quiet, lots of monkeys, close to harmony, farmers market and beach. Comfortable lines, nice mini bar with cold drinks daily in the room. Tico massage right across the street.

Amazing Hotel

Excellent hotel, excellent location. Super spacious bedroom (deluxe room), great bed, quiet AC and ceiling fan, mini kitchen with free coffee power, spacious bathroom counter, good shower, very tasty à lá carte breakfast, just few minutes walk from the main shops and stores, and very close to the beach. The sister property, The Harmony Hotel, is just across the street where you can take yoga classes in a serene and peaceful atmosphere, and use their sauna and cold punges (all paid separately but Sunset Shack guests have a discounted rate). We absolutely loved our stay and would love to come back.

I loved this property and the staff. Really well thought out and great attention to detail. Very comfortable and easy. Lovely pool and great restaurant. Well located and nice to also pop across to Harmony"s juice bar and to sit under their palapas for a change in scenery. Will definitely return.

Although on the main street, it is tucked away with a lot of space and very comfortable. A five minute walk to the beach. One can explore the area completely on foot. I especially appreciated that Tica massage was 30 seconds from my front door! I loved that there were two doors in the room, which allowed a crossbreeze, lots of light and a sweet little patio to sit and read.

8/10 Very good

Sunset Shack is a great little hotel, centrally located in Nosara. It is a 5 min walk to the beach, which is its best feature. Breakfast at Al Chile was great, and the rooms were tidy and clean. The hotel itself doesn’t have many amenities and is not super luxurious, but if you’re main concern is location and a clean place to sleep, this is a great option. Staff was also helpful with arranging transfer for us to the airport and booking an ATV tour for us.

Great location!

Rooms were clean, coffee & pour over for daily use, small kitchen sink & utensils if needed. the onsite restaurant had great food for all meals, great drinks, very friendly staff, highly recommend this place. LIked that it’s not a big touristy hotel & is down to earth where you get a feel for the local culture.

Perfect spot. Only thing id recommend is more exterior night lighting and anti-slip mats / handrails in the bathroom.

The concierge was so helpful, recommending restaurants and activities. He notified us of a scheduled area wide power outage and took care of making reservations for an ATV tour during the outage. The restaurant was fantastic, with large plates of fresh food and friendly service. Housekeeping kept the room clean and comfortable.

Perfect!

Everything was perfect. The proximity to the beach and main road was great cause I was here with my senior mother. The staff were definitely the nicest, most fun, most friendly staff I’ve had on a holiday in a long time. What a sweet group of guys! They had great food and live music one of the nights. We had a room with 2 beds, the big bed was super comfy, the small bed was extremely firm. Very clean and nice pool

We loved staying at the Sunset Shack!!

The Sunset Shack is the perfect place to stay for a surf trip in Nosara! It is quiet and chill compared to other places in the area, and it's a short walk down to the beach. Our room was very comfortable and a perfect size for our family. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and the food at Al Chile is fresh, delicious and nourishing. And reasonably priced. We so enjoyed our daily breakfasts and lunches. We also appreciate that the road is paved by the Sunset Shack as it keeps the dust down as compared to other places in the area. We loved relaxing by the pool and drinking fresh juice in between our surf sessions. Definitely make dinner reservations for every evening of your stay during busy times. We enjoyed multiple dinners at Al Chile, the Harmony Hotel, La Luna and the Guilded Iguana.
