Nosara

The open air restaurant at the Harmony seats 40 guests in a stylish but casual atmosphere that draws upon 1970s surf culture, Brazilian Modernism, and old school tropical resorts. The kitchen uses local organic seafood, fruits, and vegetables, producing a cuisine flavored by wild ginger, taro, banana, plantains, mango, coconut, black beans and rice. In addition to the main restaurant at the Harmony, La Cafeteria provides vegetarian tapas, fresh squeezed juices and herbal teas. Like the restaurant, they use organic ingredients whenever possible. Tucked amongst the trees and wildlife between the hotel and the future spa, La Cafeteria's rancho-style pitched thatch roof and open-air structure is an ancient form of native architecture that is still popular today. Some claim that people from Bali landed here hundreds of years ago and brought this style of architecture with them. Harmony Hotel also has a juice bar, which serves snacks as well as juice.

Olas Verdes is an all-suite boutique hotel, offering "casual luxury". Guests can enjoy in-house surf and yoga lessons. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi, beach cruisers, laundry and parking. Contact hotel for rate specials and discounted Liberia Airport shuttles.

Offering traditional Costa Rican style rooms with a Mediterranean flair, fabulous ocean view from all rooms, yoga, pool, retreat space, destination wedding space and a zen-like atmosphere. You can hear the roar of the ocean at night, and the howler monkeys wake you each morning. Breakfast is included with the room and is one of the best around.

Part Colette, part corner bookstore, the store supplies some crucial gear that's hard to find in Nosara, from Kiss My Face sundries you forgot to pack, to surf wax, to art supplies and of course.... books - a small but choice selection hand picked by owners John and Susan.
