After scouting out the road to Nosara Sunrise B&B, which we had booked on booking.com because our AirBNB host dissed us just 10 days before our trip, we headed into the town of Playa Guiones to forage for food, a casado at Soda La Barra next to Rooms at Gaby's. We headed back to Sunrise B&B, got checked in, and went back to the beach at Guiones for the afternoon.
We strolled around the town, met a Californian who’s split his time between the US and CR for 20 years and who complains about how popular the area has gotten (I’m thinking he’s not one of those folks who wants the road to get paved and soon!), and hit the beach.
That evening our host introduced himself to us while we were drinking adult beverages on our patio, an American ex-pat, former corporate exec who now lives the good life surfing every week. He reminded us to look in the trees for monkeys, of the breakfast hours, and directed us to Playa Rosada for tomorrow.
Nosara Sunrise B&B is not on the beach, but it is high on a hill with a great view over the foliage. There is a pool and a fantastic veranda (prolly not the right word but you get the drift) with tables for breakfast and sofas for chillin. There's hot water, fabulous bathtowels, and air conditioning. Highly recommended.
