Esh Hotel & Spa Nosara

Our family shared four days together at Esh and loved every minute of it! The hotel is elegant and understated, and the grounds are beautifully laid out. When you enter, you're greeted by a tall fire pit and the lovely folks at the front desk. Our room was wonderful, with a plunge pool outside the French doors, a comfy bed and great reading lights (something you rarely find at a hotel). The grounds are lush and quiet with a striking large tiered pool and open air but sheltered dining room. All the meals were fantastic. Breakfast, included with the room, offered a wide variety of delicious local as well as American dishes, from chilaquiles to pancakes. Dinners were exceptional as well- with taco dishes among the best we've ever had. Everyone on staff was super friendly and helpful, and made our celebratory stay even more special.There are free shuttles to and from the beach with complimentary beach gear (tents, chairs, towels), as well as other local destinations. Some of us signed up for morning yoga and massages, which were great. We can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing 5-day stay at this hotel in Costa Rica and couldn’t be happier with our choice. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. A special thank you to Sergio, Karina, and Angie who were absolutely wonderful at breakfast and the pool bar – always attentive, friendly, and kind. You made our days even more special with your warm hospitality. Also, a big shoutout to Ana at the front desk, who was always ready to help with anything we needed and provided great recommendations and information for experiences like surfing classes and other experiences. Our room was fantastic – spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The cleaning team were always around to ask if we needed anything else to enhance our comfort. We were able to truly relax for five days, disconnecting completely from work and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Honestly, there wasn’t a single thing we didn’t like. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nosara, Costa Rica. PS: A heartfelt thank you to Dominique, the yoga teacher, whose morning classes were the perfect start to each day. Her sessions were incredibly inclusive, respectful of each person’s limits, and created such a positive and calming experience.

Our stay at Esh was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautifully curated and elegantly designed space. every detail felt so intentional, thoughtful, and serene. The food was absolutely amazing as well, easily a 10/10 every single day. What truly set Esh apart, though, was the warmth and care of the staff and owners. They were not only welcoming and kind but genuinely went above and beyond to make our experience feel special and effortless. Morning yoga became a cherished ritual with Dominique and her dog Teddy. We’re so deeply grateful to have discovered this hidden gem. It’s rare to find a place that leaves such a lasting impression, but Esh has set the bar impossibly high. I honestly don’t know how any future stay elsewhere could compare.
