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. ##### Trina Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa R. 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect spot. Only thing id recommend is more exterior night lighting and anti-slip mats / handrails in the bathroom. ##### Lisa R.

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. ##### Sarah Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie 13 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pura Vida paradise Fantastic spot to eat sleep surf yoga….

Excellent location Great location close to the beach. A little quieter there vs right next to all the busiest restaurants. Issue with the AC one night but it was fixed promptly. Kids liked the pool ##### Todd Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Very nice and friendly place It is a lovely place. The staff at the reception and team at the restaurant are super friendly and make the stay very nice. Daily cleaning and huge size nice breakfasts! Every room has a kitchenette with a coffee maker which is nice. One thing that was a bit of wobble for me is that I stayed in room N1\. Everyone was passing by. So you have to keep your windows always closed with curtains and it was dark and at times a bit nosy. It is not a cheap place but then Nosara is generally very expensive and comparing to other hotels it ended up been a reasonable deal. And the place is close to the beach. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kara 11 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities LOCATION IS PHENOMENAL. Sunset Shack is the little sibling to Harmony Hotel across the street. My room was well tended to and breakfast is included at El Chile (nice surprise). Room and property were very clean, I did however find 2 large ants, and multiple little legged worms in my room over my stay which were easy enough to get in a cup and throw outside - not unexpected being in Costa Rica/Jungle territory. What I didn't know until my last day was that you can charge food from Harmony Hotel over to your room at Sunset Shack if you go over the the juice bar or restaurant so that's a handy hack if you don't want to be carrying your card around! Would definitely stay there again, perfect spot if you want to be close to Guiones/Surf (which was my intention) ##### Kara Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### sheyla 10 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me parece excelente el servicio y las instalaciones. ##### sheyla Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > - [Laburnum Guest House at Bistro Englaze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Laburnum-Guest-House-At-Bistro-Englaze.h32748781.Hotel-Information) > - [Coco Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coco-Hotels-Coco-Beach-Hotel.h913957.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Ueno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ueno-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n6048246-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [eveniahotels Hotels in Costa Brava](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Brava-Hotels-Evenia-Hotels.0-0-d6023506--bEveniaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > - [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > - [Three Bridges Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crawley-Hotels-Three-Bridges-Bed-Breakfast.h900732.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Villa Acacia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Acacia.h18529330.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sardinal-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Wasing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wasing-Hotels.d3000715444.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotel Hal - Tur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pamukkale-Hotels-Hotel-Hal-Tur-Boutique.h2532525.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Pocklington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pocklington-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d3000010188-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Papagayo-Golden-Palms-Beachfront-Hotel.h14872316.Hotel-Information) > - [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > - [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > - [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Gdańsk (GDN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/gdn/birmingham-to-gdansk) > - [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to La Mole (LTT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ltt/london-to-saint-tropez) > - [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Marignane (MRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/mrs/glasgow-to-marseille) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Irthlingborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Irthlingborough.d3000367144.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > - [Things to do in Big Bear Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Big-Bear-Lake.d6919.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > - [Visit Padstow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Padstow.dx4407) ---
