    Absolutely loved the place. Cute little gardens between the apartments. Place was clean and to my surprise pretty specious. Breakfast was just a nice plus. I really loved the deck for yoga which really is between the top of trees. The pool area was quiet and we were there almost all the time alone which was also very nice. It felt like it is there only for us :)

    Even that the room was super clean, at night there are some ants walking the place. We ignored them, but some people might not be comfortable around them. Not the hotels fault, but there is a construction nearby, so during the day you could hear the hammers and saws. Not too bad, we still enjoyed being around the pool.

    Everything was good, the open space that connects the room-containers is really taken care of while being super green and the space for breakfast is nice and beautiful. The rooms are small (as expected by the pictures), clean and feel like new.

    The is not within Green Sanctuary's control. However, there is loud an consistent construction right next door currently, they start early and end later. So you will hear construction noises if you stay at the hotel during the day.

    Great location away from the busyness of central Nosara, but still walkable or bikeable. You're up on top of a peak, so you can get fresh breezes and howler monkeys play in the trees above.

    While we were there the building next door was being constructed and it was very loud. Workers there even on the weekend.

    The breakfast, room and pool were all wonderful...and so was the staff. It was great to be surrounded by so much greenery and we enjoyed daily visits from multiple howler monkey families.

    There was construction next door (only during the work week), they can't control that but it was present (though not what woke us up).

    Breakfast was great, the staff were very helpful, the room was fun and relaxing, near some great wildlife, the pool was great too!

    It’s a little far from the main restaurant area to walk at night, but this didn’t matter to us but I thought important to mention. The hotel organised a tuk tuk for us which meant that we could go to dinner and back easily.

    Cute setting, unique room design, chilled vibe. Ten mins walk to the beach, breakfast was included, lovely and helpful people who work here.

    The pool. I don't think it's necessary in such a place, and it didn't seem like it was prioritised by the property. Internet isn't the fastest, but then again, who comes here to be surfing...on the internet (pun intended).

    Value for money is great, if not the best in the entire area. The idea with containers is effectively executed and staff is kind and friendly. Breakfast is great.

    It is obvious that the water situation in the region is something that businesses have to deal with, pool was clean but lacked water. Still able to cool off, no issue. To the novice traveller in CR, could bring negative reviews surely.

    Remote, quiet - small venue. Breakfast staff and reception staff were as friendly as can be. Flexible owner. Pura Vida.

    The distance from the beach , in the way to the beach I have to pass trough a lot of houses in constructions and workers that stare at me and called me and it was very uncomfortable and i felt unsafe. It’s nothing about the property itself but if you are alone and want to move around, the hotel is far from the vila with restaurants and a little bit from the beach

    The size of the room is very good , it’s a container just for myself.

    There was a lot of noise from construction around the area and not a constant presence at front desk.

    Excellent breakfast included daily. Lovely yoga Shala and safe, family friendly feeling. A sanctuary indeed from busier more touristy Nosara.
