Harbor Reef is located in the heart of Playa Guiones, Nosara and only steps away from the beach.  With 21 rooms at Harbor Reef you have a great variety of options to choose from for your accomodations.  Offering their Standard Nosara Rooms all the way up to your own private 2 bedroom with a loft suite overlooking the cortyard and pool area with your own private balcony.  If you would prefer a House Rental Harbor Reef also has weekly rental units for your family or just a group of friends.  With Free WiFi and TV in the hotel at Harbor Reef you will be able to stay in contact if you like or just keep an eye on how things are going while you are away.

Activities in Nosara


While you are in Nosara there are plenty of things to do.  If your not surfing or taking sufing lessons there are Yoga classes, Spearfishing tours, Fishing inshore or offshore, Horse back riding at sunset on the beach, Snorkeling in San Juanillo or turtle watching in Ostinal even Costa Rica´s longest Canopy Tour right there in town.  There is something for everyone while you are here. 



Established in 1998 by owners Randy and Brenda Bombard this hotel has grown from 5 rooms and 1 swim up pool bar to a 21 room 2 pool family Hotel Resort at the beach.  Perfect for family and friends on vacation surfing or just trying to relax and enjoy the tropical jungles of Costa Rica.  While you are Harbor Reef you will truly feel like you are in the jungle with the abundant wildlife that frequents this property such as the local Howler Monkeys, Birds, Pasotes, Rocoons and many other animals. 

Harbor Reef Lodge also is a very large supporter of the local Refuge that takes in many of the local hurt or injured Howeler monkeys and many other animals to help rehabilitate and release them back into the wild. 

Driving Dirrections from San Jose to Harbor Reef

Driving Directions San Jose to Nosara

 

Driving Directions from San Jose to Nosara

From Juan Santa Maria International Airport, take the Pan American Highway North. The initial signs will indicate San Ramon.

Once on the Pan American Highway, indicated on the signs as Route 1 , do not turn off this road until you make the left hand turn to the Tempisque Bridge,  indicated on the signs as "Puente de la Amistad", after a Shell Gasoline Station. Driving time for this portion of the trip willl be approximately 3 hours.

After crossing the bridge, continue on the main road until this road ends at an intersection with another main road, Highway 21. Turn right towards the town of Nicoya. Turn left at the junction to Nicoya (adjacent to a hillside quarry). This portion of the drive will take approximately 20 minutes.

Drive straight through the town of Nicoya. This will put you on the main road to Samara and Nosara. Continue on this road until you come to a Castrol Gas Station on the left side of the road. It is a good idea to top off your tanks here. This portion of the trip will take approximately 30 minutes.

Immediately after the gas station, you will make a right turn onto an unpaved road. Remain on this road until the road comes to an intersection. Follow the signs to the right and to Garza and Nosara. After passing the beach village of Garza, you will have about 10-15 minutes remaining until you see the Hotel Cafe de Paris on the left side of the road, and the signs for Harbor Reef Lodge, Casa Tucan and Harmony Hotel. Turn left here and proceed toward the beach, past both the Casa Tucan and Harmony Hotel. The road will turn left and the Harbor Reef Lodge will be on the left side about 150 yards from the turn.

Notes:

Remember that the speed limit signs are in kilometers. Flashing headlights from an approaching car usually mean that a police radar unit is up ahead or there is reason to exercise extra caution.

Relax, take your time, enjoy the drive and watch out for potholes. You really will get here in just about the same amount of time.
