Guest Reviews
- Léa (8/5): - Très bon emplacement proche de la plage. Piscine très agréable. Accumulation des messages sur l'application et via whatsapp bien avant le séjour.
- Agüero (9/5): - Es muy centrico Tal vez el parqueo muy incomodo
- Fabiola (10/5): Right in the center of Santa Teresa with great pool - Very close to Santa Teresa great stop to do plenty around the area. The pool was fantastic too Not the fault of the host but the road where is located is very bad specially if you are not familiar and come with a large car.
- Rosalie (8/5): Bon séjour! Petits ajustements à prévoir - Piscine est un must! L’hébergement est bien situé, sécuritaire, pas trop bruyant autour, et les gens de l’hostel sont respectueux. Le café gratuit c’est ouiii! Très grosse coquerelle VIVANTE dans les armoires de cuisine. L’air climatisé peut seulement être en fonction lorsque les clés de la porte sont dans la serrure prévu à cet effet, il fait donc chaud quand on part pour la journée car nous devon barrer la porte avec ses mêmes clés.
- Ceri (10/5): Perfect apartment for a week long stay or more! - One of the best places we have stayed!
The apartments are located less than 10 minutes walk to the beach. The beach has amazing waves for surfing! We rented boards and walked down every day.
The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need to make most meals, the bedroom is very comfortable and clean; the bathroom is clean and the shower is good! The pool is amazing and it was so nice to swim in!
The hosts were easy to communicate with via WhatsApp.
Overall the price and quality of accomodation were fantastic! We will definitely stay again and would recommend.
- Jenny (9/5): Très bon séjour! Je recommande sans hésiter! - Même chose en vrai que sur les photos. Propre. Lit vraiment confortable. Bon emplacement!
- Ilse (10/5): - Het appartement was erg compleet en comfortabel. En een heerlijk groot bed Niets
- Santiago (6/5): - Ubicacion, limpieza, atencion Por fotos se ve mejor de lo que es
- Linda (10/5): -
- Laszlo (9/5): Schöne zentrale Wohnung in Santa Teresa - Sehr zentral. Schöner Pool. Tolles großes und bequemes Bett. Die dortigen Mitarbeiter führten während wir und andere Gäste am Pool entspannten sehr laute Arbeiten durch. Reinigungspersonal fragte bereits um 9 Uhr ( Check Out ist um 11 Uhr) wann wir auschecken und wartete dann vor unserer Tür. Im Badezimmer fingen die Abflussrohre schnell an zu riechen (wie häufig in Costa Rica)
- Jelena (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt - Wir hatten das Studio Casita mit einer Außenküche. Die Ausstattung war super und die Einrichtung sehr schön. Es liegt zentral, aber dennoch ruhig, weil die Hauptstraße einige Meter entfernt ist.
Der Poolbereich hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir konnten Leguane, Waschbären und Vögel beobachten, das Meer und zum Teil Brüllaffen hören und durch die Sonnenschirme und Bäume gab es immer ein Schattenplätzchen. Das Auto konnte wir sicher auf dem Grundstück parken.
Die Kommunikation per WhatsApp lief super. Uns wurde bei Bedarf immer schnell geholfen.
- Ana (10/5): - Excelente experiencia! Me gustaron mucho las instalaciones del lugar y la habitación estaba muy bien equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Además, la comunicación con el anfitrión fue muy efectiva y fluida desde el primer momento. Sin duda, un lugar para recomendar y volver.
- Javier (9/5): -
- Beatrice (10/5): Sehr schönes helles Zimmer in super Lage - Schöne helle Zimmer mit Küche und bequemem Bett. Fliegennetz an Balkon und Bad, so dass man nachts ohne Klimaanlage bei guter Durchlüftung schlafen konnte. Super Lage, da abseits vom Trubel, aber nur 1 min zu Fuß zur Haupstraße und Supermarkt und Restaurants. Zum Strand fußläufig 5 Min. Die Straße hört man, aber es stört nicht sehr.
Wer Ceviche so liebt wie wir, wird im La Cevicheria im Himmel schweben. 😋 Ansonsten ist Santa Teresa sehr touristisch und wenig authentisch. Sehr viel vorgefertigte Standardkommunikation per WhatsApp, mehrfach am Tag und sich wiederholend, ohne auf individuelle Antworten einzugehen, daher etwas unpersönlich. Nur Barzahlung.
- Nathalie (9/5): Perfekt für Paare, die es ruhig mögen! - Wir haben 2.5 Wochen hier verbracht in der Wohnung unten links Nr.1. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.
Top:
- 10 Min vom Strand
- 5 Min vom Lebensmittelgeschäft, das alles hat was man braucht
- zentral und doch ruhig gelegen
- schöner Umschwung, der gut gepflegt wird und es gibt immer wieder tolle Tiere zu beobachten
- tolle, super schnelle Kommunikation mit Marilyn
- es wird 3x in der Woche gereinigt, das Personal ist super nett
- grosser Kühlschrank und gute Küche
- bequemes Bett
- Klimaanlage im Schlafzimmer
- sauberer und toller Pool
- sicher, Safe mit Schlüssel
- Joaquin (9/5): - Departamento super equipado con todo lo necesario para pasar una estancia agradable
- Jana (9/5): - Wunderschöner Ausblick vom Balkon umgeben von grün - ein kleine Oase mitten in Santa Teresa und nur wenige Minuten vom Strand.
- Jorge (9/5): EXCELENTE - AMABILIDAD DEL PERSONAL, UBICACIÓN. APARCAMIENTO
- Elaine (10/5): We were so grateful to stay in such a beautiful place and I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my fri - Great location!
Very clean.
Excellent service! Nothing. Everything was great!
- Katty (10/5): -
- Guest (8/5): Soggiorno piacevole e struttura ben attrezzata e completa, vicina alle zone di principale interesse. Consigliato - Struttura nuova, pulita, fornita di tutto il necessario Parcheggio un po’ scomodo, proprietario poco reattivo nel momento del bisogno
- Angelic (6/5): - La calle de acceso es muy angosta y con poca iluminación por las noches, el espacio de parqueo es muy angosto para autos 4x4 anchos no SUV, mi auto es un IX BMW y tuve que buscar otro sitio para aparcar porque era difícil el ingreso con otros vehículos que ya estaban estacionados al lado. El portón que hay que abrir para aparcar el auto es manual y pesado.
- Michael (7/5): -
- Mélinda (10/5): -
- Pelfini (10/5): - Squisitamente arredata e confortevole. Immersa in uno splendido verde, è un posto davvero delizioso!
- francis (7/5): - De locatie is top. Het zwembad is fijn. Compleet apartement Geen schone handdoeken. Geen schoonmaker. De poort is erg zwaar op te openen.
- Isabela (10/5): Exceptional - Best accommodation I had in Costa Rica. All super clean, nice apartment, facilities and location. Nothing that I didn't like.
- Lorraine (9/5): Great apartment close to beach, restaurants and grocery store. Appartment and grounds were spotless fantastic and helpfu -
- Debora (9/5): Wonderful experience - Everything
- Patrick (8/5): Very good - Location, apartment, pool… The parking can be a bit tricky, no electronic gate.
- Fabiana (9/5): Nice place, expensive but everything in Santa Teresa is expensive in general - Nice facilities and parking inside. The shower was not draining water properly because of sand (not ours, but most likely previous people). And the way the shower is set makes the water fall outside the shower area and gets really wet outside as half door for the shower is open. But those are really minor details, not a deal breaker
- Beka (9/5): Quiet friendly stay in Santa Teresa! - - Both property & pool super clean
- Great kitchen facilities
- Location is so quiet which we loved
- Friendly & helpful staff. I have left my bag at the property and they are trying their best to get it to me in another country. I really appreciate this thank you! - The road leading up to the property is basically a mud track full of water that we would need to navigate in the pitch black. If this was to be fixed, even with sand it would be perfect.
- C (7/5): Good location in Santa Teresa, close to beach, lots of ants - Nice pool and kitchenette to make coffee, close to the beach and restaurants. Kind housekeeping staff. Mistimed communication with host, host not available on-site, more like an AirBnB versus hotel, non-daily hotel cleanings, lots of ants that could easily crawl under door frame.
- Hemal (10/5): Exceptional - The Pool was always very clean and that says a lot about the whole place.
- Shahaf (10/5): Very pleasant place to enjoy the peace and quiet - Everything well maintained, have everything you could possibly need, great wifi and amazing hosts. Even offering surf lessons.
- Keta (3/5): Poor -
- Kelley (10/5): We cannot wait to retur to Altamar again! It was clean, quiet, safe, and had wonderful amenities. - The property was so perfectly located. We could walk to everything with ease and we had a great access point to the beach. We had a car, and it was easy to drive and have a private parking space.
- Mandy (10/5): Little slice of heaven - Amazing apartment which felt really relaxed. Just a short walk away from the beach, a well stocked shop and some great places to eat (zwart cafe is worth a stop for breakfast).
Surf board rack and drying rack for wet clothes were really helpful as we rented boards for 24h from De Soul Surfing (also a short walk)
- Alexandra (8/5): Lovely apartment close to the beach - I liked the location (very close to the beach) and the beautiful pool. It is good that they have a pool, because on Costa Rica beaches there are no options to rent a chair on the beach and be comfortable, but this way we could spend the morning on the beach and the afternoon by the pool. There are lots of animals! Even a raccoon visited us during the nights, howler monkeys come to the garden, too. The communication was very smooth with the owner and she was eager to help when we had a question. There could be newer kitchen equipment and in a bit better condition. Unfortunately the sofa and chairs on the terrace are not too comfy and it would have been nice, because we spent a lot of time outside (the kitchen is also there).
- Adolfo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Axel (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment, well located, with a great pool ! (And a parking spot)
- Gazza (7/5): Room was ok - Host was very good, responded very quickly when AirCon broke. Floors were dirty. Shower head was half blocked with limescale. Loud whistling noise every time we used the bathroom.
- Nazli (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place, very clean and cozy
Good location
Amazing owner who helped us to book tours
We really loved our stay there. Thank you for everything
- Eve (10/5): This place is a perfect peaceful place to stay in the heart of Santa teresa. - It was within walking distance from good restaurants/bars, the supermarket and also the beach. It was very clean and peaceful and the pool was perfect. Nothing - all great!
- Suzanne (10/5): Perfect place for a longer stay! - We spent 3.5 weeks here. Perfect location, up from the main road, close to the beach, restaurants, the store and the outdoor gym!. Loved the view, a bit above the trees and the pool to cool down after the beach! The apartment and the kitchen had all that we needed to make coffee, smoothies and cooked meals. Marilin, James and their team were very kind and helpful. Nothing. A hammock would be nice to have🙂
- Silvana (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. The apartment is very beautiful and clean. The hostess is so kind. Secure parking directly in front of the apartment with a gate. You can sleep well as it is quiet here.
- Susan (8/5): Very good - Good location. Very friendly staff. Nice pool. Very clean apartment. We would have liked a higher apartment with a view
- Tasha (10/5): Excellent location, staff and apartments - The host was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed and the location was great as it was set back from the road and near the beach but felt private. I stayed in the studio and it was lovely. As a solo traveller it was great as it felt safe and the key system into the property was secure. I would highly recommend
- Dennis (10/5): It was great, thank you Marilin! - The privacy was super good The street to the parking was a little bit hard.
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - nice clean unit nice pool , great for the price
- Juan (10/5): Very happy about my stay at Altamar, the price was fabulous and a perfect location to Santa Teresa town and diferente be - Pool, bed was comfy, kitchen had adequate utensils, the size of the apartment was very comfortable. Nothing.
- Janine (10/5): modern and very clean place, close to the beach and good food - Very close to everything, exeptionally clean and Marilin is super friendly and helpful. The kitchen outside has everything you could possibly need and the appartement is very cute. I loved that they think of saving energy as you turn off the AC when you leave automatically. Also the pool area is really nice! It was a little bit hard to find at first but that’s really isn’t a problem if you use google maps :-)
- Colin (10/5): very comfortable room, well-appointed kitchenette, good location. - great location, near a supermarket, restaurants and beach access. Far enough from the Main Street to be quiet at night.
- Lee (10/5): A fantastic Airbnb - Very nice, modern, bright apartment, spacious, well equipped, super staff and easy to checkin. Oh, super nice pool and Lounge area. Nothing
- Joaoc (9/5): Superb - Nice location, walking distance to the beach and the main road. Great swimming pool, nice comfy room with everything yould need. Could often hear the howler monkeys but that was a bonus, not a problem! I could not fault a thing.
- Agnes (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location in Santa Teresa, great pool, comfortable and clean, fully equipped kitchen, great contact with the host and you can take surf lessons too with a very good instructor. There was a small gap in the door so ants were getting into the apartment but it's a minor inconvenience.
- Susan (10/5): Our stay was the perfect balance of enjoyment and relaxation! - The property was one block from the main street so restaurants, beaches, and activities were easily accessible. We stayed for 7-nights and were impressed with the property, the staff, and the owner, Marilin. She was quickly responsive to any question we had and was on the property daily. Her team kept our rooms, the property, and the grounds all beautifully. We loved everything! One thing that may be difficult for some travelers is there are many stairs up to the rooms. We exercise daily so for us that was a positive.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wanderluster08 (9/5): Great location, kitchenette and pool - Great location - this is our 3rd time in Santa Teresa and was a 5min walk to the beach and many good restaurants. If you dont plan on leaving town, you dont need a car when staying at Altamar. The pool was a must for us as we try to avoid the strong sun in the early afternoon so was great to cool down and get some shade. It was kept very clean and was very tranquil with surrounding plants and infinity edge. We made breakfast almost every morning so the kitchenette was good for that and had everything we needed. We appreciated the coffee maker and coffee provided too! The rooms and grounds are kept very clean with the housekeeper and property manager there almost every day doing a great job. The room was a good size and dark and quiet at night. AC worked well. A 2min walk up the hill from the main road in Santa Teresa so just far enough from the action to be close but quiet. A key is needed to get inside the property itself and we felt very safe. We would stay here again. Marilin, the owner organized a taxi for us and stayed in communication with us when needed. We found the bed to be a great size but not super comfortable. Also, I think guests should be aware that construction is ongoing above the 3 existing properties - Marilin and the crew were very responsive to my complaint about early morning noise on our first morning that we really didn't expect and we didn't hear anything before 8h30-9am after I spoke with her. But the crew is still there and you can hear them on the occasion. That being said, we would still stay there again. I do hope with the addition of 3 more rooms that they add more umbrellas and loungers to the pool area as afternoon shade was already hard to come by with the balconies facing the sun all afternoon/early evening.
- Ali (1/5): DO NOT BOOK - outdated, pests, construction on site. - Location is exceptional. Swimming pool lovely, amazing food restaurants on your doorstep. Good space to park, I had an ATV. Host was cold. My trip was ruined because maid entered my room after just two knocks (according to host) I was asleep & naked. I reported it to the host, she apologized, that’s it. The killer was the construction on site, they are building a third floor. They should tell people that this is happening before you book. I was on a working trip, it ruined it. Cockroach in bathroom & lots of pests. Crickets so loud at night if feels like they are inside the flat, nobodies fault. The flat is run down, needs a lift. Bed hard. Overall poor, you can find somewhere better. The host refused a refund, I am seeking legal advice & will leave reviews on Trip Advisor etc. I left the shower & a CCTV found a camera.
- Denorme (10/5): Beautiful and peaceful place. - Comfortable and relaxing place. Beautiful pool. Location was difficult. It might be nice to offer bikes or an ATV for a price to get to town.
- Rafal (10/5): Amazing experience in Santa Teresa! - Everything was top class: service, speed of answering to our requests, recommendations, location, palm views - just perfect. Wifi at good speed (20+mbps).
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vanessa (9/5): perfect calm place to stay - really nice & quiet place, spacious & clean apartment & really nice staff
- Kon (10/5): Amazing little property - Staff, caring and tending to customer needs and making sure they fixed everything. Construction of 3 new apts on top may lead to higher occupancy on the property. Just becomes busier, but hard to judge. I would add a lighted sign from the road for nighttime arrivals.
- Chory5022 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional - We enjoyed all the apartment amenities and the pool! The hosts were the best and answered all questions promptly and with a smile!
- Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emilie (8/5): Lovely small place - Loved the apartments and the view was great. Marylin the host was very kind and helpful. You cannot leave the AC on when you leave the apartment.
- Gail (10/5): I liked it so much and the beach is so beautiful I wish I could afford to come back with my husband for a month! - The location. The pool. The apartment itself. The kitchen could have been better equipped for self-catering. A dish towel, for example, wine glasses and corkscrew.
- Pernille (10/5): Exceptional - it was a really good apartment, which had everything we enedes.
we will recommend it to everyone ! M
- Anonymous (10/5): amazing - everything, great apartment, great service, perfect room. loved it! nothing really, many bugs but that’s costa rica.
