"We loved our stay! We stayed in the family suite with the private pool and it was absolutely perfect. Its a short drive/walk/scoot to town which makes for a nice quiet stay while still being close to all amenities. The staff were amazing and the little soda on the corner was delicious.
Thanks!

"Nous avons adoré l’hotel !! Très propre, personnel vraiment souriant. Proche des restaurants et de la plage. Je recommande fortement. On était une famille 2 adultes et 2 enfants, la piscine était wow! Je garde l’hotel dans mes favoris."
"Staff were accommodating, friendly, and helpful. Pool was clean and chlorinated. Room was peaceful, with air conditioning, an outdoor shower, and a nice balcony. Staff arranged a sea turtle tour with a local guide (Gilberth), who was great. "
"This property was absolutely amazing and the pictures do not do it any justice. Prepare to feel luxurious from the look and ambiance to the amenities offered. It is located in the middle of the jungle so the connection to the wilderness was closer than expected and very free so expect to freely see them roam. The staff were amazing and very patient!! They accommodated and resolved any issue that transpired and were so friendly and welcoming. From the owner, to the waiters and bartender to the other circulating staff members; they practically became family! This establishment is a huge 10 out of 10 for me and highly suggested so book early because they do tend to fill up fast. "
"Perfect place to stay. The staff was wonderful. The room was perfect and huge. It is in an ideal location, right in the middle of Noosa but not noisy at all. The pool is beautiful and kept clean. There’s coffee and tea available at all hours of the day."
"Really enjoyed our visit!! Breakfast was a daily treat and always a wonderful surprise. Excellent view from our room. Bernard and family were excellent hosts!!!"
"Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town. "
"A Soulful Escape at Tierra Magnifica Boutique Hotel
Tierra Magnifica is truly a slice of paradise. The natural beauty surrounding the property is breathtaking — from the lush jungle views to the serene ocean backdrop, every moment felt like a dream.
What really sets this place apart is the exceptional staff. Every team member we met was kind, thoughtful, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their genuine warmth and attention to detail elevated our entire experience.
The food was phenomenal — fresh, creative, and full of flavor. Each meal felt like it was prepared with care and intention, and dining with a view made it even more memorable.
Tierra Magnifica isn’t just a hotel — it’s a feeling. Peaceful, grounding, and inspiring. We’re so grateful for our stay and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious, heart-centered escape!

"The property is a short walk from the stunning beach, some of our favorite restaurants. This is a very new and exceptionally well-designed hotel. The rooms are fantastic, everything is brand new and visually pleasing. The pool area and cabanas are wonderful too. Staff is very friendly and supportive. They have a great consierge who booked a lot of activities for us - zip lining, ATV tour, surfing. Room maintenance and cleaning is superb. We were supposed to stay for a week and ended up staying for two."
"We had such a great stay. The pool was pristine and great with young kids. Delicious meals and drinks and I liked being outside of Samara in some peace and quiet. Highly recommend "
"This place was the highlight of our trip! The room was spacious and clean. The property grounds were immaculate and gorgeous! The staff was helpful and friendly and the food was delicious! The pool overlooking the sea was awesome! Samara is a short drive away and the beach is within walking distance from the property! We highly recommend this place! "
"Loved our stay at Hotel Guiones. Spaciale was a terrific host. Such a great Nosara vibe - very jungly, beautiful pool, restaurant, close to the beach, well stocked with drinks, paths around the rooms were well maintained and we loved our room - unusual to find a place with 3 beds. But our little patio was the best (see photo). Highly recommend!"
"This resort was beautiful. A good bit off the beaten path but what a jewel when you get there! The rooms were quite spacious and lovely. There was a welcome gift when we arrived of fresh fruits. No matter where you are on the property, you can hear the waves crashing and it is glorious! The resort felt very exclusive and was populated but not crowded at all. Each time I went to the pool or any of the many options for laying out I felt like I had my preference. They had so many options of shaded or sunny spots to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings. There were several iguanas on the property that loved sunning themselves by the pools as well. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning that was included in our stay but our favorite was lunch. The guacamole was fabulous and paired with the chicken quesadillas it was perfect! This resort was excellent for relaxing. We also took advantage of the spa. The couple's massage with the sound of the ocean was fantastic! Easily one of our favorites of all time and we love a good spa day!! As I stated in the beginning, Azul hotel and retreat is off the beaten path and you will need to rent a car. I'd suggest flying into Liberia Airport but it will still be a long drive to ANY of the resorts, but a lot longer if you fly into San Juan like we did. I loved the Azul Hotel and Retreat and I'm very glad we found such a great place to stay with wonderful employees that took great care of us!"
"Very charming and unique hotel, the glamping hut was very confortable, the staff (especially the young waiter Steven) was very nice. Close to Nosara as well"
