Small comfortable quiet and picturesque. The hotel is a wonderful place to stay. We were here with our two teenaged kids. Great food. Hospitable and very knowledgeable staff who can connect you with quality outings in the area.

They offer a complete range of activities involving experiencing the nature and culture of Costa Rica. The setting is spectacular and the staff is warm and helpful. Time flies when you're having rum. I expect it will only get better under the care of Steve and Erka.

We are so sad to leave Tierra Magnifica after an incredible week and Christmas vacation. From our first inquiry, the TM team took care of every detail of our trip, not only at TM but also our second destination in Papagayo. Thank you to Steve and Erica for welcoming us into your family and being gracious hosts!

The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious and the property is breathtakingly beautiful. Staying at TM was the perfect mix of a quiet, secluded resort while also being a short ride from the town of Nosara. We rented a golf cart for the week to take back and forth to the beach and into town to try different restaurants and bars. We also had so much fun on the trips that Lizi planned for us, including an ATV mountain tour, zip lining and deep sea fishing.

We want to give a huge shoutout to Jacob and Ana (the concierges) for being incredible all week. Every little detail of our day was well thought out and taken care of. If we needed anything at all, they were happy to make it happen. We’re so thankful to have gotten to know them over the week and couldn’t be more appreciative for everything!

Another bright spot of the trip was Juanca the bartender. Not only was he an incredible mixologist, but also such a nice guy. We would also highly recommend trying his restaurant, Howlers, if you’re going to the beach for the day and want to stop for lunch.

This was our first time away for Christmas and we feel we truly found a home away from home in Tierra Magnifica. We couldn’t recommend TM enough!!

Thanks so much to Steve and Erica for hosting us. Their genuine care for the well-being of their staff is a scarce, yet refreshing thing to see. You can see this philosophy translate in the staff members absolute pleasure for being there. Definitely the highlight of our Costa Rica trip. The location is remote and gorgeous. The rooms, safe, secure, and spotless. The concierge team consists of Anna and Jacob, both of whom are incredibly gracious, helpful, and knowledgeable. They literally take care of everything and anything for you. Chef Wagner and Chef Manuel are by far some of the best in Nosara, offering complementary breakfast and afternoon snacks that constantly titillate and amaze. Complementary shuttles to and from Playa Guioness are offered four times a day. A massive shout out to the incomparable Carlos, whose mojito is the stuff of legend. His care for his craft of mixology is genuine and pure, with his skills rivaling some of the top bar tenders in New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles. We could not recommend this place highly enough. Would 100 percent return to the country just for this boutique hotel experience alone.

My trip to Tierra magnifica was amazing ! We tried three different variations of gin and tonics and got some great appetizers to snack on! Definitely recommend the bruschetta. Carlos is a solid bartender and will certainly make you the cocktail you’re looking for!
