Nosara Heartwaves

| About Nosara, From Frommers Guide to Costa Rica: “because most of the land near the beach has been zoned primarily as a residential community, Nosara has been spared the sort of ugly uncontrolled growth characteristic of many other Guanacaste beaches….There’s none of the hotel-piled-on-top- of-hotel feeling that you get at playas Flamingo, Tamarindo and Coco. In fact, on arriving here, it’s hard to believe there are any hotels around at all. Nosara has long been popular with North American retirees and a handful of Hollywood celebs, and they, too, have made sure that their homes are not crammed cheek-by-jowl in one spot. Hiding them instead among the profusion of trees that make Nosara one of the greenest spots on the Nicoya Peninsula. If you’re looking for reliably sunny weather and a bit of tropical greenery, this is a good bet.” |
