    I love that the room didn’t have a television and telephone. I love the What’s App communication daily. Oriana was amazing.

    sunset, we could even see monkeys in the distance, which was amazing! The Mexican restaurant is really good. The staff made our stay unforgettable: yoga with Dominique was great — she’s super kind, attentive, and always there if you need anything. Christian gave us great tips on places to visit, and Juanca gave us such a warm welcome. Highly recommended!

    Nothing to mention here.

    Absolutely everything was amazing. The staff- super friendly, nice and open. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. They offer complimentary yoga classes- that are super nice. They have a sauna and an ice bath- which we very much enjoyed. The pools are very nice as well. Basically, one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Costa Rica. The location is also very nice. Plenty of beaches and restaurants nearby, and the location is very lively.

    If you love nature, wellness with a touch of reasonable luxury, this place is quite simply one of the best hotels for you. My wife and I fell in love and it quickly rose up to be one of our best ever stays. The staff were attentive to our every need and personalized our stay beautifully. The rooms were exceptional and the location is great. Everything worked out great on our first visit to Costa Rica because of Esh Hotel.

    Drinks were not good, they seemed watered down. Sun light comes into the room through a few windows leaving the room a bit bright in the morning. Shower pressure could be improved.

    Very friendly, attentive and responsive staff. Cozy and well-decorated room. Comfortable bed with high quality pillows and sheets. Pool area was really nice. The food was very good.

    During my brief but delightful stay at Esh Hotel, I was warmly welcomed by the entire staff an incredibly kind and attentive team. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the surrounding nature is simply breathtaking. I had the joy of hearing and even spotting some of the local wildlife, which made the experience even more special. Without a doubt, I would happily return to Esh Hotel!

    I love everything about Esh, it's an exceptional place. The staff provides outstanding service and creates an atmosphere of genuine warmth and hospitality. The food is exquisite, each dish clearly prepared with love and attention to detail. I'm a lover of rainy weather, and my husband also appreciates rainy days, we found the experience especially romantic, spent a quiet afternoon at the restaurant, sipping hot chocolate while watching the rain fall gently over the pool. It was a moment of calm and beauty that made our stay truly special.

    Legit nothing

    I recently experienced a magical stay at a hotel that felt straight out of a lush, jungle dream. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting, with the natural surroundings blending seamlessly with sophisticated, whimsical decor. One of the most memorable touches was the welcome charcoal lemonade—a refreshing and unexpected twist that set the tone for our entire stay. The staff truly went above and beyond by decorating the hotel in celebration of our engagement and my fiancée’s birthday. The personalized touches and thoughtful details made us feel incredibly special, turning our visit into a heartfelt celebration of love. Dining was equally impressive. The innovative cauliflower tacos were a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor and creativity, while the hotel’s delicious take on a classic Caesar salad redefined the dish in the best possible way. Every bite was a testament to their commitment to exceptional culinary experiences. In every aspect—from the jungle-esque ambiance to the personalized celebrations and outstanding cuisine—this hotel exceeded all expectations. It’s a place where magic meets meticulous care, making it the perfect getaway for those looking to celebrate life’s special moments in a truly unforgettable setting.

    I'd say the breakfast needs a little more attention. Some dishes were good, but many others were not. For guests staying over 3 days, it starts getting a little boring.

    The hotel is tastefully and thoughtfully designed. From candles to incense in your room, you can see and feel the many eyes in details that this hotel exudes. I enjoyed waking up in the mornings to yoga and swimming in a beautiful pool. The surroundings are well maintained. It feels like a home away from home. Dinner is delicious, and the staff is welcoming and attentive.

    The food could use a bit more flavor, and the lunch/dinner portions felt somewhat small for the price. Additionally, the gap in the door to the open shower allowed a large number of mosquitoes to enter our room at night.

    The hotel is stunning, with spacious rooms and large, comfortable beds. The staff is incredibly kind and caring. The morning yoga classes by Dominique were amazing.

    I had high expectations for ESH Hotel Nosara, given its 5-star rating, but the experience was quite disappointing. The breakfast was one of the most frustrating aspects. The options never matched what was stated on the menu, and items that were supposed to be included were consistently missing. There was no tropical fruit selection, very few choices overall, and instead of fresh juice, they served store-bought orange juice—unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber, especially in Costa Rica. The flatbread was served a day late, and the overall food quality felt careless. Outside, the structure showed signs of poor maintenance, and cleanliness was lacking. Staff simply swept debris under sunbeds in the pool area rather than properly cleaning. It gave the impression of surface-level upkeep rather than true care. Lastly, the staff engagement was minimal. There was no warmth or attention to detail, which really impacted the overall guest experience. ESH Hotel has potential, but it’s currently far from delivering the standard expected of a 5-star property.

    Ceviche was good size of rooms and design of hotel
