Good hotel. Breakfast was good.
Alejandro, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Would definitely stay again. The staff were all great, there were many restaurants within a couple minute drive, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Sand quality is not as good as some others, but there are dozens of beaches within 5-10 minutes or so. Rooms were spacious and as clean as you can really get on a tropical beach.
Andrew, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was ok.
Jason, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice rooms, we only missed a refrigerator, breakfast was okay. Not the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica and we were in the windy season. And it was very, very windy. Other beaches w/o wind you can reach by car in 10 minutes. Restaurants are also close by.
Manuela, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Property is quiet but remotely located. Facilities and food at the onsite restaurant both mediocre. Need a vehicle to go around.

Greg, 14-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Older property but clean and unique. Staff was excellent. Food was good. The beach was dirty but still a nice getaway for a 1/4 of the price of a all inclusive
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed for 5 nights at Nandel Beach Resort and it was a truly marvelous experience in a little spot of paradise that we would highly recommend! The staff was really kind and competent and always there if we had an issue of any kind! Special mention to Alexander at the restaurant that offered us a wonderful service during our stay!

CALEEN, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quiet and secluded area away from all the noise , only beach area not so good,in this part of Bahia , overall great place to stay, staff very friendly and helpful 👍👍
Homero, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Really worth the price

We really liked our night at the hotel. We were staying during rain season and the roof of our room started to leak. I contacted the front desk via WhatsApp and they immediately moved us to another room with no issue. It is worth the price, and it was really clean. The restaurant was really good, much more than what we were expecting. Local traditional food, not extraordinary but very tasty and pleasant. It was perfect for a short stay!
Helene, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A unique location and a beautiful coastline view in Bahia Salinas, Guanacaste!
Roberto, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This resort is an absolute hidden gem! My husband wanted an authentic cultural experience, and I wanted to lay in a lounge chair by the beach/pool. My kids are teens, and wanted lots of activities. Nandel checked all the boxes for us. The staff felt like friends by the time we left. Our kids even insisted on taking pictures with them to remember them by. The facilities were clean and well maintained. It is a windy area, but when it's 90 degrees every day, that feels really good. The area specializes in kite surfing, but there are many other beautiful beaches within short distance as well. The food was a mix of local and international cuisine, and the breakfasts were our favorite! I am a runner, and went running on roads around/adjacent to the property, and never felt unsafe. I can't recommend this place enough for someone that wants an authentic Central American experience.
Jill, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everyone at Nandel was wonderful. A great place for wind sports and a pool for the kids. Will definitely go back.
