Hotel Nany
Hotel & Accommodation in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Hotel Nany is a family-friendly hotel in Brasilito, the small Guanacaste village between Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal. It offers an outdoor pool, a children’s pool, a swim-up bar, and a poolside bar, along with free breakfast of local cuisine. Rancho Nany, the on-site restaurant, serves international dishes. A garden, terrace, barbecue grills, free self parking, and manicure and pedicure services round out the stay.
Where Brasilito sits on the Flamingo coast
Brasilito is a working beach town rather than a gated resort. Playa Brasilito is a broad, open beach used by fishing boats and swimmers. North along the same road, Playa Flamingo has the marina, a denser cluster of restaurants, and evening activity. South, Conchal Beach and Reserva Conchal Golf Course are close enough for a morning trip. Hotel Nany is near Playa Brasilito and close to both the golf course and Conchal Beach.
Liberia’s international airport is about twenty-one miles away. Tamarindo’s smaller airstrip is much closer, on the order of six to ten miles. Free self parking on site makes a rental car from Liberia the straightforward way to arrive. A paid airport shuttle, an area shuttle, and car hire are also available, and the front desk offers tour and ticket assistance. English and Spanish are spoken.
The village is compact, with restaurants a short walk or a few minutes’ drive from the hotel. That mix—pool and restaurant on the property, beach in the village, Flamingo and Conchal as easy outings—is why Brasilito works as a base instead of staying only at the marina or inside Reserva Conchal.
Pools, dining, and services on the grounds
The outdoor pool and children’s pool are the center of the property, with a swim-up bar and a poolside bar. The garden and terrace give extra shade, and barbecue grills are available. Spa services include manicures and pedicures. Daily housekeeping, luggage storage, and a front-desk safe are part of the operation. Babysitting is available for a surcharge, and there is a playground. Currency exchange and laundry service are offered as well.
Rancho Nany serves international cuisine, and breakfast of local cuisine is included. Children may not be eligible for the complimentary breakfast, so families should settle that when they reserve. Room service and packed lunches are available if you are leaving early for the beach or a tee time.
This layout suits a hot-coast rhythm: beach in the morning, pool and a meal in the middle of the day, then a short trip to Flamingo or back to Conchal for late light. You do not have to leave the grounds for dinner, which matters after a long drive from Liberia or a full morning in the sun.
Rooms, check-in, and house rules
Rooms include air conditioning, ceiling fans, in-room safes, and free bottled water. Bathrooms have showers. Each room has a 28-inch TV with cable channels, and daily housekeeping is provided. In-room WiFi runs at 100+ Mbps, enough for one or two people or up to six devices. Other features include blackout curtains, coffee and tea makers, sofa beds, walk-in showers, family rooms, non-smoking rooms, and pool-view rooms. Wheelchair access is available, including accessible parking.
Check-in begins at 3:00 p.m. and continues anytime after; the minimum check-in age is 18. Check-out is before 11:00 a.m. A 24-hour front desk greets guests on arrival. Pets are not allowed; service animals are welcome and exempt from fees. Children are welcome, but rollaway beds and cribs are not available. American Express, Mastercard, and Visa are accepted.
If your group needs a third bed or an infant cot, look at family rooms and sofa beds instead of planning on an extra mattress. If you land in Liberia in the morning, expect to store bags or wait until 3:00 p.m. unless the desk can accommodate an earlier room.
Getting around without wasting the day
A car is the most flexible way to use this stretch of coast. The road links Brasilito to Flamingo, Conchal, Tamarindo, and the Liberia highway. Parking at the hotel is free and self-park. Without a car, the area shuttle and the paid airport shuttle are the main options, and the desk can explain timing and cost. Tours for snorkeling, hiking, cycling, fishing, golf, and horseback riding can be arranged through the desk.
Walk to Playa Brasilito in the cooler hours. Midday sun on unshaded roads is harsh, and a short drive is kinder than a noon walk with beach gear. Local buses stop at Terminal Brasilito for travelers moving between villages without a rental.
Dry months from December through April are busier, with stronger sun and more traffic toward the beaches. From May into November, afternoons often bring brief rain; the terrace, restaurant, and pool still give you a full day on the property. Either season, start beach time early, rest through the hottest hours, and save Flamingo’s marina or a Conchal sunset for later.
A practical day from Hotel Nany
Begin with the included breakfast, then walk or drive to Playa Brasilito while the boats are still on the sand, or continue to Conchal for a longer beach morning. Reserva Conchal Golf Course is close if golf is the plan. Come back to the outdoor pool, the children’s pool, and the swim-up bar when the heat peaks. Lunch can be Rancho Nany or a packed lunch if you stay out.
Late day is the natural window for Playa Flamingo: the marina, shops, and a wider dinner scene. If you prefer to stay put, Rancho Nany and the poolside bar keep the evening on site. Brasilito nights are quieter than Tamarindo, so the hotel works well as a place to sleep and then day-trip the rest of the coast.
Families should match room type to the group, since cribs and rollaways are not offered, and should settle whether children are included in breakfast. Anyone using the hotel as a two-night arrival buffer after Liberia can treat day one as pool and Brasilito beach, and day two as Conchal or Flamingo, without changing hotels.
Choosing this kind of stay in Brasilito
Village hotels in Brasilito trade resort scale for a pool, breakfast, parking, and a short reach to the sand. Compare them on the beach you actually want, whether breakfast and parking are included, and whether the room sleeps your group. Hotel Nany’s combination is a family-friendly building with two pools, a swim-up bar, Rancho Nany, spa manicures and pedicures, and free parking, set in Brasilito rather than inside a gated beach club.
Useful questions are specific: whether breakfast covers every person in the room; whether a family room or sofa bed is available; how the area shuttle runs; what the Liberia airport shuttle costs; and whether a pool-view room is open for your dates. If you need a crib, plan the room layout before you book. If you are traveling with a service animal, say so when you reserve.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and light clothing for air-conditioned rooms. Small colones or dollars help at village stores. If you want golf at Reserva Conchal or a boat from Flamingo, reserve those first and use the hotel’s tour assistance for the rest. Arrive knowing check-in starts at 3:00 p.m., keep the 11:00 a.m. checkout in mind on departure day, and you can use Brasilito as a calm middle point between Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal.
