Silvestre Nosara Hotel & Residences
Hotel residences with kitchens and a rooftop pool, steps from the Guiones surf
Silvestre Nosara Hotel & Residences, a short walk from the surf at Playa Guiones
Silvestre sits just back from Playa Guiones in Nosara, steps from the surf and from the restaurants and cocktail bars of Guiones. Every residence is a full apartment with its own kitchen and washer and dryer, yet it runs as a hotel: breakfast is served on the rooftop each morning, and the team arranges the surf coach, the boat and the massage.
It suits families and friends travelling together who want space, and surfers who want to be in the water before breakfast.
Why we choose it
- The rooftop in the canopy. An infinity pool, a bar and a lounge sit up in the jungle canopy, with breakfast there in the morning and coffee and cocktails through the day.
- Room for the whole family. The residences are 1,000 sq ft with two bedrooms. The Family Double Residence sleeps 7, the Penthouse has four bedrooms and its own bar, and kids get surf lessons on boards cut to their size.
- Made for surfers. Guests in the Grand Residences get a custom Jim Banks performance board, and private lessons with ISA-certified coaches come with video analysis.
Rooms and views
The Tropical Garden Grand Residences open onto a private garden with a barrel sauna, a Renu cold plunge and an outdoor rain shower. The Grand Residences and Family Residences have private balconies and two en suite bathrooms. The Penthouse Grand Residence, at 2,000 sq ft, is the one for a big group. Toiletries are refillable Le Labo.
On the property
There is no spa building. Treatments come to your residence instead: massages of 60 or 90 minutes, acupuncture, breathwork and meditation, manicures and pedicures. The Studio has an open gym and personal trainers, and the internet is business grade, which matters if someone in the group still has to work.
Silvestre treats its own wastewater and reuses it for the gardens, leans on natural ventilation to keep the air conditioning down, sponsors Costas Verdes reforestation and supports the Nosara fire brigade. Out on the water the hotel can set up dolphin and whale watching, a fishing charter from Playa Garza, a sunset boat or an ATV tour.
Location and getting there
The address is Lot H1 in Guiones, beachfront to one of the most consistent surf breaks anywhere. Fly into Liberia or take a small plane to Nosara's airstrip, and we arrange the private transfer to the door. Check-in and check-out times are not published, so we confirm them with your booking.

Your Costa Rican driver waits at arrivals and stops whenever you like on the way: fruit stands, a sloth in a tree, a bathroom.
