My stay at the hotel was more about the surfing vibe of La Negra than the rooms themselves. While the king size bed took up most of the room, the breakfast was repetitive, and there was no posted schedule for daily activities. The garden outside my room needed tidying up, but the hotel is closest to the beach.

The hotel is nestled in the lo-fi surf town of Nosara, offering a beautiful location with easy access to local activities. The rooms, though small, are very comfortable and facing the pool, providing a quiet night's sleep. The service is top-notch, with staff blessed with flawless aesthetic taste who are always accommodating and friendly. The dining experiences are simple but excellent, featuring dishes like breakfast burrito and marinated fish. However, the rooms might feel a bit cramped due to the bed dominating the space, and the focus seems to be more on surfing and the town's vibe than on the accommodation itself.
