Great restaurants - prepare yourself for primitive roads and extra time to get around. Locals are very kind. Downtown is cute but wish it had more shops :)
Make sure to eat at: Posada Marguerite, Senduro, La Luna (incredible pizza) and watch the sunset at Lagarta Gecko Lounge.

We loved the location we stayed in - it was perfect for the two of us.
Besides buying fruit from the road vendors, and having local street food whenever spotted in La Garza, we ate at Rosi's Soda Tica in Nosara, and Soda la Peria in Samara.
Getting around Garza was pleasant as everything is walking distance.
If you want tranquility, low maintenance and somewhat self-sustainability, Playa Garaza may be the place for you.

San Juanillo is not a surf destination and thus not very touristic. It does have a small but well stocked supermarket and a couple of decent restaurants. We ate frequently at "Bar el Jardin" and "Soda Brisas del Mar", where service and food was always very enjoyable.
The two white sand beaches are beautiful and the sunsets were fantastic every single time.

Playa Azul is a hidden gem of a resort.
Playa Azul is a hidden gem of a resort. I booked it at the last minute as I had a few more days to stay in Costa Rica. We came from the bustling town of Tamarindo via the coastal route (which was mostly small unmaintained dirt roads) through Playa Avellanas where we stopped at the famous Lola’s for lunch.
Playa Azul is just the perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is secluded and feels exclusive. The rooms are incredible and you are steps from the beach. If you book the ocean view rooms you can watch and listen to the waves from the hammock on your balcony. There are geckos and iguanas all over the property.
Despite the remote location, there are two restaurants on site that serve decent food throughout the day. The staff were all wonderful and booked several excursions for us which were highlights of our trip.
The hotel is 10-15 minutes from San Juanillo and Marbella. San Juanillo is a tiny village but it boasts one of the most incredible beaches I’ve ever visited. Also, the “food truck” in town served some of the best patacones, burritos, and empanadas ever. Restaurant Cocobolo across the street also had great food and beers, plus an incredible view of the ocean.
If you head the other way toward Marbella, Soda Victoria is worth checking out too.
Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town!
Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town! I think the locals encourage tourism, as they go out of their way to be friendly. We regularly left our belongings on the beach and never had any trouble. There are tons of American- and European-influenced restaurants and prices reflected American prices (though, portions were huge!) The beach itself is perfect for families - shade trees, soft sand, long flat beach, predictable two foot waves and zero rip tide. So safe, so fun! Surfing, kayaking, and horseback riding all available straight from the beach. Great lil town!

The surf and the people were awesome.
The surf and the people were awesome. The roads, not so much. But then again that’s one of the things they’re known for and almost proud of. You will definitely need transportation, an ATV, golf cart or motor bike as everything is spread out. And walking can be a little rough as there are a lot of hills. The food is good but expensive. If you’re going to rent surfboards check out a few places as prices vary quite a bit. I recommend Nosara Tico surf shop. Very friendly, a block from the beach and was $90 cheaper than the surf shop around the block for a 10 day rental.

Garza is a very quiet beach that serves as the launching point for most fishing trips in the area. It was fascinating to watch the small tenders moving people back and forth to the fishing boats and catamarans. There are two stores off the highway and several restaurants ranging from a high end, overpriced place to several soda ticas serving typical Costa Rican food of rice, black beans, salad and protein (fish, chicken or beef).

If you're looking for an 'out of the way' place to stay and relax, you can't do better than this place. The pool is fabulous and has a swim up bar, and both restaurants had excellent food. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and the staff was absolutely fabulous, even calling us by our first names by the second day. The room was very comfortable, the bed was great, the shower was superb (good water pressure) and the A/C worked like a charm on those humid, overcast days.

The beach was gorgeous.
The beach was gorgeous. Plenty to do if you like to do tours. Prices were higher than I was expecting. Groceries were more expensive than the USA. Restaurants were comparable in price. We went in February and it was VERY HOT if you weren't on the beach. The town was very tourist oriented.

Restaurants, shopping etc is spread out. No real downtown area. Renting a golf cart or moped is almost mandatory. Food was good but overpriced. Saving grace was that the surf was good. Overall though, don’t think I’d be returning
