Nosara’s seasonality remains clear—peaking Dec–Apr and bottoming Sep–Oct—with a record Feb 2024 (90.9%) and a low in Sep 2024 (38.1%). Winter 2025 was solid but softer than 2024, while the standout shift is the low season: May–Aug 2025 averaged 54.7%, up from ~50% the prior two years, led by Jul 2025 at 64.7%. Length of stay is edging up (2023: 3.95 → 2024: 3.96 → 2025 YTD: 4.02), with a peak 4.46 nights in Jul 2025, and occupancy and LOS move together moderately (r≈0.49). Volatility that spiked in 2024 has eased somewhat in 2025, suggesting a slightly more predictable pattern.

Tactically: open winter rates earlier but keep ADR ambitions measured for Feb–Mar; use minimum-stay rules (4–5 nights) instead of aggressive price hikes. For the Sep–Oct trough, deploy stay-longer offers (e.g., 5-for-4) and wellness/surf bundles aimed at remote workers. Lean into the mid-year family window with 7-night packages and school-holiday targeting, and shift yield focus toward strengthening May–Aug, where 2025 is already outperforming.
