We felt at home and very comfortable at Villa Tortuga. Dave (the owner) and the guys from Frog Pad were always very friendly and helpful. The location is probably the best possible in Playa Guiones — close to restaurants and only a 5-minute walk to the north side of the beach, which is great for surfing and away from the crowds in the southern area. The pool is wonderful and very important after surfing and during the hottest parts of the day. The apartment itself is great — simple but comfortable, with perfectly working air conditioning and very good kitchen utensils. Definitely want to come Back!

“Great, spacious and in a very convenient location!”
Very nice and spacious, great location and the owner Dave was so open and welcoming. We easily arranged an early check-in and a late check-out which we really appreciated! We loved having our own balcony/terrace to hang out at in the early mornings, and the shared kitchen with a charcoal BBQ was another major plus.

“Villa Tortuga is be of Nosara’s little gems. Perfect place for a comfortable stay in paradise.”
Superbly kitted out, comfortable, spacious apartment. Location couldn’t be better. The decking and pool area was a lovely addition to my stay. And Dave couldn’t have made me feel more welcome.

A surf oasis a few meters away from Guiones! The rooms are spacious and well equipped and it's nice to have a pool too. Dave the owner was very easy to reach and helpful during the stay.

“Huge comfortable apartment minutes walk from amazing beach”
Huge apartment with everything we needed for a family of five with young children. The owner manager welcomed us and was available for anything we needed. We loved walking out onto the Main Street of the village full of restaurants and shops. But the reason you come to Nosara is the beach, and Playa Guiones is simply amazing. Jumping in the pool at this villa completes your perfect beach day.

“Relaxed and friendly vibe close to everything.”
Friendly people, relaxed vibe, great layout with the pool in the middle. Very family friendly. Close to beach, restaurants and bars. Good quality coal bbq. Rooms and areas cleaned every day. Fast Internet (over 100mbts) in the reception and usually around 30mbts in the room. Worth every penny. Kitchen was well stocked with a good sized fridge and freezer. Cooker was better than most in CR. Paul was a great host.
