Video: The Founders’ Story

When John and Susan opened the Harmony Hotel nearly 20 years ago, they followed a feeling rather than a formula. With no traditional experience in hospitality, they trusted their instincts to create something they would love: stylish, comfortable, and deeply rooted in its surroundings.

Now, they share how their experience with Harmony and living in Nosara have shaped their vision for El Bosque. As construction begins on the first homes, they reflect on the importance of protecting the land, designing for flow and ease, and creating a place where residents can experience both serenity and connection—to nature, neighbors, and community.
