I use ¨complete relaxation¨ as my title because, well, I-we were able to relax. For me, this happens when all issues are addressed, or taken care of behind the scene. The staff at Harbor Reef Lodge are exceptional, friendly, sincere, caring and reliable. Nothing was a job for them, every was ¨a pleasure¨. Great place, wonderful location, clean, fun and... More

We stayed at the harbor reef for four nights. The location is great, especially if you don't have a vehicle. The location is close to the beach and coconut harry's for surf lessons/rentals etc. I read on trip advisor that other people had issues with break-ins to the rooms. The rooms do not have safes, but you can leave valuables... More

In comparison to the other hotels in Nosara, just looking by photos since it was my first time in Nosara, Harbor Reef has everything you're looking for. It's super conveniently located to the beach! This is critical...you can walk to and from the beach in less than five minutes. It's right near Coconut Harry's, where you can rent all your... More

Our room was robbed . At first service and attention to the matter was indifferent and not accommodating. We then spoke to a nice Tica girl who works there and took care of the matter professionally. I would like to suggest the hotel to add iron guards to the window and let the guests know that you do have a... More

We stayed in a standard room. Plenty of room, small fridge and sink were appreciated. Bathroom a bit shabby with noisy water pipes. We didn't use AC, and septic smell occasionally was unpleasant. Pool and surrounding grounds were a wonderful oasis from the heat. Wireless in room was not working but it was an easy walk to office patio to... More

Stayed here Nov 29 - Dec 2nd, 2011. Rained a bit first day...and then clear and wonderful. Front desk was informative, patient and always ready to assist. The rooms were simple, but clean and well appointed. Our room - the standard, cheapest available - had a fridge and sink as well as a nice little outdoor patio. Simple living at... More

We did not stay here, but we did pop in here to eat, at the (bad) recommendation of another place. I inquired about the rates as well and peeked into some rooms. Yeah, the location is pretty good, but the lodging prices are high and the food is really really expensive for what it is. The pizza looked good, but... More

Another Jewel during the off season. Quiet and nestled in the jungle area of Nosara. Accommodations were perfect for us. Grounds were flawless. Staff was very helpful in every way. Thanks again for a great visit
