Silvestre Nosara Hotel & Residences

Jim Banks surfboards come with every suite, which tells you a lot about who this boutique hotel near Playa Guiones is for. Each of the nine residences has two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a washer-dryer for the beach towels, but al fresco breakfast and a rooftop infinity pool mean nobody actually has to cook. Toucans show up in the trees outside the living rooms. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
