Overall Ratings & Reviews Sunset Shack 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.

Really love Sunset Shack and the perfect start to our holiday. Nice pool area which was genuinely quiet. Very close to beach. Rooms were also nice with a really large and comfortable bed. Breakfast was also great. Would recommend.

Absolutely loved Sunset Shack. Such a lovely bunch working there, food and drinks were fantastic and its location is perfect, especially if a beach and surf lover

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.

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

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.

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.

We had an amazing stay at the Sunset Shack! We are already planning our next visit!

Great stay!

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.

Laid back atmosphere, nice room with a mini kitchen, very comfortable beds, lovely pool, so close to the beach- wonderful!

Great staff! Very kind.

I love my stay there The rooms are beautiful and the staff is super friendly

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.

Fantastic spot to eat sleep surf yoga…. Fantastic staff & great breakfast included. I will be back for sure! I have fallen in love once again w Costa Rica- the place the beach the people the plants the critters- the food pura Vida all the way

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

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.

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)

Amazing room, the staff was so friendly, the beach is so beautiful, definitely we are going to return!

Killer location, walk to beach or shops...Attentive onsite personnel, restaurant adjacent with great food/drink options and monkeys in the trees!!! Great surf and people. It was perfect. Worth every penny...Thank you.
