Accommodation

Cabinas Kahala

With the white sands of Playa Guiones a mere 5 minute walk…the location is excellent. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, kick back in a hammock for a nap or to read… Cabinas Kahala is the place to be. It is located in a residential area of Playa Guiones aways from all the hustle and bustle. Simple, clean, comfy.

Nosara Beach Hostel

The hostel, offering dorm style rooms, combines a jungle ambience with beachfront tranquility. With the soothing sounds of the breaking waves or the Howler monkeys in the trees overhead being the only distraction, the breezy wrap around patio is the perfect place to to sink into one of the many hammocks after a long day of surf and adventure.
