Guest Reviews
- Fuad (10/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): -
- MariaHCS (10/5): Beautiful hotel and location, exceptional staff - perfect for family with kids! - Hotel and gardens beautiful, location is perfect just on the beach. Staff was beyond kind and accommodating, especially with our kids! We would stay here again and again, the most beautiful spot for beach sunset.
- Schepers (8/5): Erg mooi maar erg duur - Prachtige plek in schattig kustdorpje. Erg vriendelijk personeel en mooie kamers. Overall moet je extra voor betalen. Yoga, cappuccino bij ontbijt, etc. Bedden op strand liggen missen lekkere matrassen.
- Miranda (10/5): -
- walid (9/5): -
- Bracken (10/5): Premium experience right on the most beautiful beach of I have ever seen! - Location was excellent. Highest rated property in the area per multiple locals. Pricing is definitely on the higher end. Menu selection was limited and also a little more pricey. Though this was for the most amazing dishes!
- Bartosz (10/5): -
- fabienne milan (9/5): très bon séjour sur la plage - très bel hôtel sur la plage tres bien placé dans le centre personnel gentil et efficace pas grand chose mais je précise quand même que le bungalow plage avec piscine mériterait plus d'intimité on se voit entre voisin .... le prix excessif mais au Costa Rica et surtout à Santa Teresa tout est cher!
- Francisca (8/5): -
- Pieter (10/5): Prachtig hotel aan het strand - Prachtig hotel aan het strand gelegen. De tuin met zwembad, wellness en yoga waren heel mooi aangelegd. De kamer en badkamer waren zeer ruim, stijlvol en voorzien van een balkon. Het volledig personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je kon ook via het hotel allerlei activiteiten/bezichtigingen boeken. niets
- Marta (10/5): -
- Louis (10/5): Fenomenaal romantisch bijkomen - De privacy in een schitterende omgeving. Geweldige vrijstaande bungalow. Heerlijk ontbijt op het strand. Diner uitstekend. Alles klopt op deze plek. De beachclub naast Natipa heeft op dinsdagavond een sunset BBQ en een luide DJ tot na 21:00 uur. Bij verkeerde wind komt de rook en muziek je tegemoet. Advies. Ga dan naar de beachclub en enjoy daar de vibe ;-)
- Amandine (10/5): Un véritable coin de paradis, parfait pour se relaxer et chiller - Les bungalow côté océan sont exceptionnels. Avoir les pieds dans le sable toute la journée procure un réel sentiment de bien être. L’ambiance est apaisante, chill et on profite de merveilleux couchers de soleil. Le coin piscine est superbe, le restaurant très bon, la plage de Santa Teresa est accessible en 5-10min à pied. Un vrai coin de paradis où l’on côtoie des iguanes :) Rien. Tout était très bien. Simplement une salle de sport ferait la difference. Le petit déjeuner pourrait aussi être amélioré
- Sabrina (8/5): Nice Place - Great Hotel in every possible way. We loved the service (thanks Salvador!), the accomodations, the location, and the food/drinks. It's really pricey for what you get. Dont' get me wrong; it's a really fine place, and we loved our room. But when you compare it to other $600 p/nite places, it's not exactly a deal. It's important to note the context; Santa Teresa is overall very expensive, and really the most expensive area in Costa Rica. You can't swim in the ocean right in front of the resort since it's all rock. So you always need to go up or down the beach to get to a swimable/surfable location.
- Kenia (10/5): -
- Eric (9/5): Beautiful hotel in lush grounds - Beautiful hotel in lush grounds, very well-appointed and generous rooms, friendly and helpful staff
- manuela (10/5): Easy & schön! - Einfach alles! Wir hatten einen kleinen Bungalow und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Schöne Poolnlage und gleichzeitig direkt am Strand, an dem man wunderbar spazieren gehen kann. Tolle Sonnenuntergangs-Location ohne die billige Happy Hour Atmosphäre. Das Restaurant ist super zu allen Mahlzeiten. Für uns war alles perfekt.
- Morgan (8/5): Agréable - Personnel, emplacement, qualité des installations Restauration très cher et qualité en dessous du prix

- Mohana (8/5): In center of the town - The employees are friendly and try to help. Very well kept grounds. Restaurant overlooking the water beachfront is unusable. Be aware if that matters to you
- Neil (10/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): Vacaciones perfectas!!! - Me encanto todo, las habitaciones, el ambiente natural, la cordialidad del personal Nada
- Matan (10/5): Perfect - Everything Nothing
- Dunia (10/5): Lugar excepcional - Lugar muy acogedor excelente para descansar, personal muy atento y agradable
- Xavier (4/5): Grtoesca y decepcionante. - The cleaning was poor: there were ants in the room, and they even left empty cans after “cleaning". The minibar was so noisy that I had to unplug it to sleep. The level of commercial harassment from the hotel was unacceptable. After booking, I received several emails urging me to create an account to do the pre-check-in and provide payment details before my arrival and, upon arrival, I had to provide the same information again and sign four documents. Very unusual and unexpected for a good hotel. Right after checking in, I received a flood of WhatsApp messages from several hotel accounts. Within two hours they were already sending “How are we doing so far” emails, and two days after check-out they are still sending messages, directing me to an account that remains active with my data. On the invoice, they included an unauthorized charge for a foundation. They justified it by saying, “it’s for local kids, but it’s optional.” These things should be asked first and added later, not added with possibility of removal while being told “it’s for poor children” - unacceptable. I asked the hotel to book me a taxi to the airport, and they tried to charge me 50% more than the normal rate. I had to book my own taxi out of principle. This is not acceptable: as a hotel guest, I trust the hotel to look after my interests and find me the best option, not to have an arrangement with a taxi company to rip off its own clients. After sending them videos of the ants in the room to report the problem and express my dissatisfaction, instead of offering any compensation, they assured me—quite insistently—that they would “fix it for future guests,” which is irrelevant to me. They even asked me to spend part of my morning going in person to speak with the manager to explin the problem in detail, as if I hadn’t already had enough inconvenience. I obviously declined, but that doesn’t make the situation any less bizarre

- Esteban (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was top of the line . Price ………………………
- Art (10/5): A perfect stay with a beautiful beach, stylish rooms, great amenities like a saltwater pool, yoga, and a spa, all topped - The hotel boasts an incredible location with a stunning beach, complemented by a team of exceptionally friendly and professional staff. The rooms are beautifully designed, featuring a perfect balance of modern and minimal interiors. The beds are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay, and the brand-new bathrooms are equipped with top-notch finishes that enhance the overall experience. The rooms are fully renovated and feel brand new, offering a fresh and modern ambiance that adds to the comfort and appeal. Additionally, the hotel features a fantastic saltwater pool, perfect for a relaxing swim while enjoying the serene surroundings. Yoga sessions and rejuvenating spa treatments are also offered, providing a perfect touch of wellness and relaxation during the stay.
- Peter (9/5): Great place to stay - Everythong Breakfast quite expensive
- Jon (10/5): Exceptional - I loved this place a lot
- Humera (9/5): Excellent - Excellent rooms Pricing of breakfast bill when breakfast all inclusive. Didn’t match up
- Hilton (10/5): Beautiful modern hotel in the beach jungle!! - Love the nature, room decor and design, pool, layout in the jungle and right in front of the beach. Food and service where great too. Love their love for animals as well! They had 2 adopted dogs Chungo and Layla that were carefree and sweet. Maybe the bar drinks could have been a little better.
- Paul (10/5): Everyone went above and beyond! We will definitely be visiting again! - What’s not to like??? Everything h was so peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful!! Walking to your room feels like you’re walking into the jungle but as soon as you open your door it’s so luxurious!!! N/A
- Nicole (10/5): Most amazing vacation. Loved it!! 10/10 - The property was amazing. We stayed in a beach front bungalow and it very private with a perfect location, only steps away from beach. The hotel provides security at all times on the beach, so I felt very safe. All the workers at the hotel were extremely accommodating. You can schedule all a activities via WhatsApp and it was so easy.
- Marie-france (7/5): Nice hotel in Santa Teresa- great sunset spot - Large family room with balcony and excellent beds. Right on the beach. Reception was very communicative and responsive via WhatsApp. Very easy to make a spa reservation same day. Beach in front of hotel is very rocky and we could not swim because waves were too intense/ ocean was too agitated. Restaurant food was so so and restaurant was never packed so very flat ambiance. Staff was not super friendly, unlike the 2 other hotels we stayed at in Costa Rica during our trip. The grass around the pool was all burnt- and pool itself not very appealing. The spa was in renovation so we had massages in a makeshift spa in outdoor yoga facilities right off the pool - very hot and could hear kids splashing in pool so not ideal during a massage. A cleaning lady woke us up at 8:30 am on a Saturday to clean room which was not pleasant.
- Jo-jo (10/5): Exceptional - Great location; wonderful be ah villas and view
- Morgan (10/5): Exceptional - The beach area is amazing!
- Scott (10/5): Fantastic place to get away from all the noise! - Beautiful location with wonderful staff and amenities.
- Yaniv (7/5): Good -
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - Best hotel in town, great team, great pool, great beachrestaurant.
- Claudio (4/5): Beach access and location are nice - Beach access, room spacious and very comfortable with a nice design not good value for what you pay and def not 5 stars experience- staff really not responsive, not so much offer overall, the beach area didnt have chair for us and not so good infrastructure- no gym, no facilities
- Gabriella (10/5): Exceptional - The stars of the show are, by far, your staff members! Every single one of them! My room was adjoining a construction site and I had asked for a quiet location. Also, the lighting on the paths is very bad, almost dangerous unless one has a flashlight. Suggestion: the staff could ask single ladies if they need someone to walk them back from the restaurant to their room.
- Alison (8/5): Very good -
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Westley (10/5): Beautiful boutique hotel- gorgeous pool - Beautiful grounds, rooms and pool, lovely location on the beach. Nice beach restaurant and lovely included breakfast. Lovely welcome, drinks and cookies on departure. Hammocks on beach for sunset Everyone very friendly Lots of lizards and squirrels and sometimes howler monkeys. There are a lot of stray dogs in Santa Teresa. Dark on roads - walking at night
- Piet (8/5): Pleasant resort with superb beach location but overpriced - Small resort with excellent beach location Well integrated in nature Pleasant atmosphere Breakfast and restaurant service should be better for a 5x resort Overpriced for the value proposition of this resort
- Hajji (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb -
- Zehra (10/5): From the moment we arrived at Nantipa to the day we left, we had the most wonderful stay. All staff were extremely atten -
- Nick (9/5): Superb - We loved the whole vibe of this hotel. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow, all of which are located only 10 paces from a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach. The bungalow itself was a good size with some very nice touches. You are 400yards from the centre of Santa Teresa which had a younger, laid back feel to it with alot of great places to eat and drink. This is a super relaxing hotel and town to visit. It may be worth noting that the surf and riptide here is quite strong, you wouldn't want young ones to enjoy the sea unsupervised. The accommodation is not cheap, to charge for breakfast is a bit tight.
- Rebecca (10/5): Our stay was incredible at Nantipa and gave my husband and I what we needed on our vacation - This hotel is a 10/10! The food and drinks were delicious. I loved being on the main road and being able to walk to the beach and local restaurants/shopping. The room are spacious with an indoor/outdoor shower and the bed was so comfortable. The property Is stunning!! I loved watching the sunsets from the beach bar! I was really hoping there would be more privacy when I was using my private pool. I also think they need to have extra trash cans in the room.
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nina (9/5): perfect honeymoon location - amazing room and beach, the most comfortable bed!!! nothing
- Mary (9/5): Beachside bungalow with plunge pool and privacy -
- Guy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stuart (10/5): Like a dream, and counting the days til I return. Pura vida! - The staff at Nantipa went over and above to make my visit one I won’t forget. We were all on a first name basis by day 2. Minor critique, but I’d look to set up a mini bar by the pool.
- Poppy (10/5): perfect - incredible. we paid the extra for the private pool beach front room and it was just perfect.the bedroom was stunning, with the comfiest bed in the world. we had the most wonderful stay. off season in June enjoying empty pools, quiet beaches and lovely sunny days. We would have loved a key card entry to the back door so you can get back in via the beach without having to go round via the hotel:)
- Romain (10/5): Mind blowing luxury in the wilderness of the Tropical Jungle. - We stayed there for 3 weeks with my wife and our baby daughter. The stay, the location, the beach, the wilderness, the people, everything was stunning! The people were exceptionnally friendly and service driven, taking care and were incredibly nice to our baby daughter. Nantipa being on the top-of-the scale of Santa Teresa, which is an expensive area (not to say, very expensive area), is not cheap in terms of food, specifically if you are planning on eating there frequently. We loved the staff, the restaurant, and the local dishes were great, but the menu lacks in my opinion, some more affordable options for people who do not want to systematically spend that much on food. Ultimately it was easy to cater food elsewhere and bring it back but that's the one thing i'd change if I could! Maybe also, for people with infants, be aware that the beach is not reaaaally kids friendly, there are big waves (hey it's a surf spot..) and rocks just in front of the hotel and it is not advised to swim there. Again, logic as it is a surf area but to be taken into consideration for those with kids!
- James (8/5): Very good -
- Teodora (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Superb - Very nice facilities and rooms, close to a beautiful beach good food I had to turn off the mini-fridge at night because it was too loud. The wifi router and phone also had bright lights which I had to cover with clothes
- Malena (10/5): Exceptional -
