Casa Romantica

Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Local Costa Ricans taking some time out from the perfect surf on Playa Guiones. This beach near Nosara is the most relaxing, perfect surf break we have visited. The town is small enough to be peaceful with just the right amount of great restaurants and hotels to make it easy. Fly into Liberia, CR and you are a four hour drive to Nosara. If you are in the area, Casa Romanitica is the perfect hideaway hotel walking distance to the surf and small town. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be romantic to stay there. Just wanting an authentic, chilled experience in this part of CR.

Blown-out

After a morning surf session on perfect 2-3 ft. curlers, the wind picks up and turns the break into something else. That’s when it is time to stretch the legs and take a stroll along the peaceful Playa Guiones. Each day here starts this way, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The perfect little hotel to experience this each morning is Casa Romantica. www.casa-romantica.net, (506) 2682-0272, info@casa-romantica.net. Simple rooms, wonderful breakfast, great price and best location and dinner restaurant in Nosara.

Yoga + Beach + Ice Cream

I might be biased because I became engaged on the beaches of Playa Guiones, in Nosara Costa Rica, but this place is heavenly. I spent the month practicing yoga at Nosara Yoga Institute and when I wasn’t doing yoga I spent the rest of the time on the beach, eating ice-cream at Robin’s, and exploring the area on ATV’s. Every evening when the sun sets, instead of staying home, locals and tourists come out to the beach, sometimes with wine and usually with their dogs, and sit on the sand watching the stunning sunsets and surfers catching the waves.

Walk From Your Room To The Beach

By total chance I happened I stay at this hotel. It was a great find! As evidence, I was the only person who was staying there for the first time. All the other rooms were full of return visitors! This photo was taken approximately 20 steps from my room.
