Room was clean & cozy, breakfast was delicious, the pool was beautiful and lots of comfortable seating both sunny and shady, there was a well equipped yoga area which I enjoyed, and everyone was just very friendly and super helpful. I felt so at home that I sincerely didn’t want to leave 😄

Well designed, cozy, comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the location, quiet with a good pizza nearby, a grocery store that had everything we needed and it's a walking distance from playa cuevas.

The breakfast was great but not on site. It was a a cute little cafe down the street and we really enjoyed it. I would only suggest possibly adding a few more options for kids to the menu but the owner Barabara was super amazing and went out of her way to accommodate us.

Absolutely amazing! It’s clean, calm, well organised and the staff is great. Everything is taken care of! The beds are amazing!! The best beds we had in whole Costa Rica. The location is a 10 minute (bumpy) ride from the city, but nothing more difficult than other roads in Costa Rica. It’s part of the deal. Make sure you have a car if you stay here. If not, the hotel can arrange transfers and tours where they pick you up.

The beaches in Santa Teresa were beautiful and not too...

The beaches in Santa Teresa were beautiful and not too crowded. Playa Mal Pais was not as nice. Santa Teresa was a bit touristy for my taste, but the one restaurant that we went to was really good. It was called Lora Amarilla. It was at the end of the road to the beach. I highly recommend it.

It's beautiful. Relaxed and easy to be there.

It's beautiful. Relaxed and easy to be there. The beaches are pretty untouched. It's not just Mal Pais, it's the whole Santa Teresa area. Perhaps a bit overcooked with a lot of young people - but don't let that bother you, it's an awesome holiday. Try Eat Street for delicous vegan bowls and not too bad wine. And if you are a pizza lover, then you must try Amicci. I'd say they are up there with the top Neopolitan style pizzas around the world. The beach life is of course the main attraction. My partner surfs and I sunbathe on the beach. Best of both worlds if you ask me. My favourite beach in the area is Playa Hermosa which is more family oriented and quieter.

Amazing surroundings and gorgeous rooms. The only thing we missed is some basic supplies in the room, like coffee, thee sugar. It is important to note that the rooms have their own kitchen with all supplies and a big fridge, but you need to bring grosseries. As we arrived late in the storm, we could not eat or dribk anything here. Upside, around the hotel there are great restaurants, walking distance, all open u till 9pm. Breakfast was perfect and the staff very nice and friendly. Rooms are decorated stylefull and very clean.

This place felt so homely, with a big kitchen and lots of storage areas, it would be easy to stay here for an extended time! One afternoon we sat in the garden area outside our house watching howler monkeys in the trees above us, such a cool experience!! The hosts were so lovely, my boyfriend and Mike went surfing together one morning! A great place and would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Santa Teresa/ Mal País!!!
