Location

Playa Guiones is a pristine beach known globally for year-round surfing opportunities, just a 3-minute walk from The Sunset Shack. This beach is part of Costa Rica's Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, which showcases unspoiled natural beauty without commercial development directly along the shore. The hotel's location allows easy access to various additional beaches, offering a range of experiences along the coastline.

Accommodations

The hotel consists of 8 guest rooms designed with a comfortable tropical style, surrounded by native gardens that attract local wildlife, including birds and monkeys. Rooms encourage relaxation, providing a balance of nature and comfort, while encouraging guests to unplug from technology, as televisions are not present. Thoughtfully designed surf racks are available for storing personal or rental surfboards.

Dining

Dining options include Al Chile, which serves Mexican-inspired dishes made from fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers. The restaurant operates all day and is a favored spot for unwinding after a day of surfing with signature beverages like margaritas. Guests can enjoy farm-fresh flavors in a casual setting that promotes local cuisine.

Wellness & Activities

The saltwater pool offers a relaxing space surrounded by lush gardens, making it an inviting setting for leisurely afternoons. Surfing lessons are available for all skill levels at Playa Guiones, with warm ocean temperatures eliminating the need for wetsuits. Guests can also explore the natural surroundings through activities like kayaking, stand-up paddling, or horseback riding.

Sustainability

The hotel actively incorporates sustainable practices, aiming for a zero-waste operation by reducing, recycling, and composting waste. A bio-garden naturally filters wastewater while biodegradable products are used throughout the premises. The commitment to environmental conservation is evidenced by receiving the Certificate of Sustainable Tourism from the Costa Rica Tourism Institute.
