Meet Lizi
Local Knowledge. Authentic Connections. Personalized Experiences.
Hi, I’m Lizi Alvarez, founder of Authentic Concierge Nosara.
Originally from San José, Costa Rica, I moved to Nosara in 2016 and quickly fell in love with its unique blend of nature, community, wellness, and laid-back coastal living. What began as a personal journey soon became a professional mission: helping visitors experience the authentic side of Nosara through trusted local connections and personalized recommendations.
With more than 18 years of experience in Costa Rica’s tourism and hospitality industry, I have worked across a variety of sectors including travel agencies, boutique hotels, vacation rentals, transportation services, and real estate development. This diverse background allows me to help travelers navigate Nosara with confidence and create experiences tailored to their interests, needs, and travel style.
Why Authentic Concierge?
Nosara is more than just a destination—it’s a lifestyle.
Whether you’re visiting for a surf trip, wellness retreat, family vacation, special celebration, or an extended stay, my goal is to help you connect with the people, places, and experiences that make this community so special.
Through Authentic Concierge, I offer personalized support, local expertise, and carefully curated recommendations that go far beyond what you’ll find in a typical travel guide.
A Traveler Helping Travelers
As someone who has traveled extensively—both solo and with friends and family—I understand what makes a trip truly memorable.
It’s not just where you stay. It’s the hidden beach you discover, the local restaurant someone recommended, the yoga class that changes your perspective, or the meaningful connection you make along the way.
Those are the experiences I love helping others find.
Life in Nosara
When I’m not helping visitors plan their adventures, you’ll usually find me enjoying the simple pleasures that make Nosara so special: walking on the beach, spending time in nature, enjoying a great cup of coffee, working on community projects, or sharing sunset moments with friends.
Wellness is also an important part of my life. In addition to my work with Authentic Concierge, I am a certified 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher and offer personalized private yoga sessions for visitors seeking a more intimate and customized wellness experience during their stay.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply enjoy a peaceful session in the comfort of your vacation rental, I love helping guests experience the restorative side of Nosara.

Thank you for considering Authentic Concierge to be a part of your travel experience. I believe travel should be authentic, meaningful, and deeply connected to the places we visit.
I look forward to helping you experience the best of Nosara. Pura Vida!
