Well situated hotel near pristine beach Playa Carrillo- minutes from Samara beach . Elegant chill vibe - nice rooms.

Rooms are big, Very comfortable but there isn’t any privacy because there are many windows facing others rooms. When we arrived didn’t get the room we had choosing during the chek in, them we were moved to another room but the door lock didn’t work. So we were moved again to a different room. Three rooms in an hour after a long trip. Additionally, we had to carry our baggage around the whole hotel.

Don’t hesitate! Best hotel in the area. Much better than the pictures are showing. We were so happy with our choice. Spacious room, modern and zen. Fantastic pool. We loved it. No downside.

Nothing but fantastic in every way. Great location next to the beach, large parking space, modern and new facilities, clean and large outdoor pool with warm water, excellent and breakfast with wide variety. We stayed in 4 different hotels during our 2 week stay in CR, and this Hotel was by far the best. I cannot believe why this hotel is so cheap to stay in, and that it wasnt full booked while we stayed there. I could easily stay here for another week, and would like every one reading this to be assured that if you book here, you will not be disappointed.

Everything was great. Check in, room upgrade, facilities!!!

The hotel was great! Our room had an excellent view of the ocean. The staff was incredibly friendly and personable. The reception staff even helped book excursions. The food was delicious and fairly priced. Pool had happy hour specials. I’d stay here again :)

The staff were friendly and helpful. The property was beautifully maintained. It was quiet place to relax and calm if you’re looking for a place to decompress this is perfect!

The hotel is great. The rooms are big , also the bathrooms . The pool area is amazing, you can walk to the beach.

I have stayed at Nammbú since it opened 2015 (in fact, it was still under construction and we were the first to stay in our room). The location is top-notch as is the staff. The views are gorgeous. The only disappointment has been to see the lack of maintenance, especially in the bathrooms. Since that first visit I have returned to on four occasions. On our first visit, I assumed that the poorly fitted glass shower surrounds would be tuned up. They never were, and have gotten worse, and water rom the shower head easily sprays out, creating a small flood on the floor. The grout has never been cleaned, and in places it is filthy. The shower spout leaked out the side and the handle came off in my hand. I work in real estate, and I hate to see properties degrade by lack of routine maintenance. I hope ownership sees these comments and tunes up the weak spots.

Beautiful property with a fun pool/bar area. The view from the infinity pool was beautiful to watch the sunset. The property isn’t exactly beach front but the beach is accessible by a stairway and across the road. It’s not difficult but would make the beautiful beach inaccessible for those that might be physically challenged. The rooms were large and a lovely balcony to watch the birds and have coffee in the morning. We ate at the restaurant above the pool and on this night it was a buffet and excellent. The food and service were great. The next day we ate early at the lower pool side service and is was just mediocre. The service there was not attentive at all as the upper restaurant staff was very attentive. The property is perched on the edge of a huge hill so walking around the grounds is a walk up and down steep paths. We would stay here again.

We booked this last minute 3 days after having our valuables and passports stolen. We drove 5 hours from San Jose and arrived 2 hours before dark, so were keen to get to the beach to salvage our last day in C.R. We were shown to our room at the bottom of a steep hill, and our keys didn't open the door. A staff member ran back to the lobby and returned to put us in a different room. After he left we realized they didn't provide a safe key. I asked a staff member and he said he would send someone with the key, In the meantime we realized our patio door lock was broken and we could not lock that door. Having been robbed two days previously, all we wanted was a safe and doors that locked. I walked to the lobby and got the safe key, which did not work in the safe. The maintenance man showed up and broke the safe key off in the safe lock, then proceeded to try to fix the door lock. I went back up the steep hill to ask for a room with a functioning lock and door. After an hour we finally got moved to a room with a working door lock and safe. It was very frustrating and disappointing to lose a precious hour after the thieves had taken our valuables and three days of our vacation from us. After this fiasco, we found the room to be clean, large, modern and pleasant. The grounds of the resort are lovely. Views from the pool and restaurant are gorgeous, and the beach, Playa Carrillo, was one of the nicest beaches I've seen in Costa Rica. Better customer service is all needed

Our stay at Nammbu was incredible. The resort overlooks beautiful Playa Carrillo which is only a short walk away. The property is designed to create a magical experience surrounded by the jungle. The best part of our stay were the staff who made us feel extremely welcomed and catered to our every need. They were so hospitable, smiling and friendly it was difficult to leave.

We so loved the staff! From Donavon, to Fabian to greet us in the lobby to Maikel and Alonzo and Jerzon(sp) in the breakfast dining area. AndDavid in the pool bar! Everyone was so wonderful, we were there 12nights and loved every day there! Your staff made such a great impression, we will stay again with you. This is our second time we stayed at this property! We will tell all of your friends about this place and we will definitely be back again! Pura Vida!

Beautiful location overlooking one of the nicest beaches in the area. The hotel provided everything necessary for a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, modern and generously proportioned. My only suggest for improvement would be the installation of washroom doors in the rooms with two beds (... it's an OK layout for couples, but a little awkward sharing a double with our teen kids). All-in-all, a great resort with great staff.

Long walks to get anywhere and you are either going up or down. Then to be on the third floor. I’m exhausted New year eves dinner was disappointing, service was slow, our shower you had to push a button and hold it to shower. Called, 3 days never fixed it.

Lovely setting. Close to the beach. Big, spacious room. Very comfortable. Staff super friendly.

We stayed at the resort for 8 days. The staff made our stay very welcoming. David, Michael, Daniela, Freddie, just to name a few..were professional, they took care of our family especially my allergies when it came to my diet. In the morning they made me gf vegan pancakes which were amazing. The hotel was clean beyond words. We enjoyed our date night at the bar and David made the best cocktails not to mention his company was so much fun. We will be back! Cant wait to see all the staff again soon.

The front desk staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming They gave us a room next the maintenance crew rooms and repair area very noisy in the mornings. The overall staff appeared unfriendly and rude. I would not call this a vip hotel and don’t forget the long walk which was uphills to the front desk. Would not recommend this hotel or stay at this hotel ever. Worse experience!

Staff was very diligent and dedicated, prices for the food and beverages are expensive. Location and premises are great. Room very clean and spacious.

Very good, I would go back there.

I like the room size. I don't like the fact that there is not a bathroom door

Nice hotel, clean! Wonderful ocean view and sunset from the pool area. A few step from the beach

Great for families, staff super helpful, rooms spacious and well kept, great food at the restaurant, only issue is the beach access.

The staff was super friendly. The on-site restaurant had good food and we ate there several times out of convenience. The drinks were excellent, but expensive and not very strong. The pool area was beautiful, and we were able to see lots of wildlife like monkeys and iguanas on the property. The rooms were very large. Unlike some of the reviews that complained about the bathrooms having no doors, ours did have one, thank goodness. There were some odd things about the room like where the outlets were located. We were located in a bungalow that was in the middle and had to walk up a very steep incline and then down a steep incline to get to the bar/pool area. This was fine for us, but this is definitely not a hotel for anyone with serious mobility issues. Also, getting to the beach involved a steep set of stairs and walking along the road for a little ways. There was very little traffic, so not a huge deal, but something to be aware of. The beach was beautiful with very few people ever on it. We stayed out on the beach past the time the gate closed to explore tide pools at low tide and had to walk up and around to the front of the property. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, but we mostly drove to Samara to eat. Great restaurants there. Overall, very enjoyable!

We went for our honeymoon getaway, and we absolutely love it! The staff were extremely nice, the hotel was beautiful and the view was breathtaking! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful property with friendly welcoming staff. Our 3rd stay there and we are never disappointed

The property was a wonderful quiet getaway. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was absolutely stunning. The beach was just a short walk and perfect to walk on the beach or swim in the ocean. The staff was incredible and we enjoyed getting to know them over our stay.

Just so-so. Mattresses were kind of cheesy.

It was a luxury resort that was understaffed. The resort was just okay, and I would not recommend it.

Beautiful property and the amazing location is just a short walk to a beautiful empty white sand beach. The service at the pool was friendly, helpful and attentive. The food and drinks at the pool were great and the family had a lot of fun just having a relaxing pool day. The rooms were nice, large and very clean but lacked comfort. The beds were way too broken in and we had a hard time sleeping on them. The a/c stopped working at times during the night and the room could get very hot and uncomfortable. Even though the food at the pool was great the breakfast was uninspired and not well prepared. Even for the low price of $20 it wasn’t worth it in comparison to other Costa Rican hotels we’ve had at other stops. I would suggest jumping in the car one town over to samara and they having breakfast there. In so many ways we loved this property and would stay again. But it’s hard to struggle to sleep at night and still enjoy the next day. Probably wouldn’t stay again…

This was a beautiful property. Then infinity pool was stunning! The rooms were clean and beautiful view. The food offered in the buffet breakfast was good. It would be nice if there were more choices or changes from day to day. Things that could be improved: Doors on the bathrooms. Access to water coolers as there isn’t anywhere to refill water bottles and no access to ice which could be used with the tap water (not cool enough to drink). It would be great if the hotel had a sign out system for: boogies boards, beach towels, beach chairs. It would be nice to have a reasonable menu to order from. Everything listed was $15 USD for lunch. We ate off resort each day and night. If they want people to use their beautiful cocktail bar area, they should offer happy hour each with reasonable happy hour price to draw people in. They have so many people visiting so now they just need people to spend $ on site. If they lowered prices with specials I am sure most people would stay on site and enjoy the gorgeous views. They also have beautiful drinks at the bar by the pool. If they had lower prices or daily specials, and had a waiter or two coming around taking orders, I am sure they would drum up a tonne of business. Having made these suggestions, we would still absolutely stay here again as the daily rate was reasonable and the pool area was exquisite. The 4 min walk to get to Carrillo beach was also very worth it. We did a five km walk every morning & waves great for boarding

Great view just near by playa Carrillo. Room are large and comfortable. Great swimming pool. Personnel really nice and welcoming!
