Guest Reviews
- julia (10/5): Séjour merveilleux, nous nous sommes senti comme chez nous - Lieu, calme, piscine, tout le matériel nécessaire Piscine vétuste qui peut être dangereuse pour les enfants
- Sara (10/5): Amazing - Perfect location and very comfortable and clean :) I was travelling with a baby and it work perfectly
- Edwin (9/5): Heerlijk. - Uitstekende locatie, mooi, schoon appartement. Fijn zwembad. Geen airco op de slaapkamer.
- Isabel (10/5): Muy cómodo y acojedor - Maravilloso alojamiento, muy centra, cerca de la playa y restaurantes! El personal muy atentos, tiene una vibra de comunidad donde te invitan y cuentan de actividades que van pasando en el lugar, descuentos en centros de yoga y más! me encantó! Nada
- Vanessa (8/5): Parfait - Emplacement, propriété gentillesse du personnel RAS
- Vanessa (9/5): Je recommande - Très bon emplacement, très propre RAS
- Ana (7/5): - Boa localização, muito perto da entrada da praia, perto de restaurantes, cafés, gelataria. Piscina agradável embora pequena. Cozinha bem equipada. Duches com pouca pressão de água. Mobiliário dos quartos mais antigo.
- Alba (10/5): - We loved everything. Location is perfect, so close to the beach and small shops. Eat Street is on the same street which is great for food any time during the day. The property is beautiful, well kept! The staff are awesome they check in on your every morning and help you with bookings! I would come back here again next time I visit Santa Teresa!
- Simon (8/5): - Gute Lage und nette Location. Definitiv schon etwas abgerockt und nicht so schick wie auf den Fotos.
- Tobias (7/5): - Super Lage, da die Straße runter gleich der beste Strand der Stadt ist;
Das Personal ist sehr engagiert;
Die Küche im Zimmer war gut ausgestattet Die Zimmer sind sauber aber schon etwas veraltet;
Der Pool war OK aber zerfällt langsam;
Frühstück gab es im Partnerhotel am Ende des Dorfes, das war sehr lecker
- Arlina (8/5): -
- Jorge Quiros (10/5): - Modern
Very well equipment
Pool
Nice gardens Cameras everywhere you feel like being watched all the time
- Jacqueline (8/5): Great lodging in Santa Teresa for a chill stay! - Great location - 5 min walk to the beach and the main street but just far enough to be quiet. Also enjoyed having the pool and BodyKult Pilates steps away from our room! Pool could have been maintained better - missing tiles and needed to be skimmed throughout the day more frequently would have been nice.
- Gonzalo (10/5): Muy agradable, cómoda, buena atención, volveríamos. ❤️ - Que era amplia, que cumplía con todo lo que decía en la descripción, tostadora, cafetera, toallas, etc. El lugar está penado para que pases una buena estadía. La cama era cómoda, el baño espacioso y limpio, el espacio exterior estaba muy bien, a nosotros nos tocó una villa silenciosa, era la número 4.
Cerca de la playa, supermercado, restaurantes, etc. Dentro del predio dictan clases de yoga y otras actividades, las personas que van ocupan las cocheras con los cuatriciclos no dejándole lugar a las personas que nos hospedamos. Nos parece que estaría bueno que la prioridad la tengan la personas que eligen hospedarse en el lugar.
- Charlene (10/5): - I loved my stay here and will definitely come back again! Great location steps away from everything you need, but just off the main strip so it’s much quieter. The staff was really helpful with other things I needed to book and organize during my stay.
- Maxime (10/5): Warm Weather, calm Hostel, relaxing place and peaceful mind. - Great place, very near the beach, super market, etc... a bit expensive tho, but everything is expansive in Santa Teressa. The Yoga classes were great, the room was big, the bed was not confortable tho, very "Springny". But the staff was kind to provide a Crib for my 21 months old boy. Would recommend. The bed needs to be more confortable. I would love to have more "events" in the hostel, for small family. I feel like they put a lot more energy on Believe Yoga and Surf and less in Nautilus.
- Meister Jörg (8/5): Gute Unterkunft - Restaurants und Lebensmittel- Geschäft in der Nähe, fußläufig erreichbar. Sehr freundliches Personal. Check in auch ohne Personal durchführbar. Küche gut ausgestattet. Ein mittlerer Investitions- Stau ist deutlich an den Schränken und am Pool erkennbar.
- Eliav (10/5): Don’t miss out on this dream apartment - The only reason I’m giving 5 stars, is because 7 is the unavailable. Big, spacious, well lit apartment, well designed and super comfortable and beautiful. Great location. Fantastic staff. Amazing wibe. Unusual value for money. The only place I was really sad to leave. That I couldn’t stay longer
- Vivian (9/5): Relaxing and confortable stay right next to the beach - Small, quite and well equiped villa-appartments right at the good spot of Santa Teresa Beach. The street has direct access to the beach and you can walk to all shops and restaurants. A swimming pool great for chilling out in the warmest hours of the day. You cab you all the facicities from their sister hotel just further on the street where they offer excepcional surfing classes and a vast choice of yoga classes. Super friendly staff! It can be quite adventurous to park your car infront of the hotel due to the steep dirt road. Do recommend a 4x4 car to explore the surroundings of Sta. Teresa.

- Katarina (8/5): Great villa concept stay when ready - The setting of the villas and common space is great; feels private and safe. The villa itself is spacious, well equipped, nice decor and style.Liked the pool area - perfect little oasis. The villa & the whole property has nice standards, apart from the synthetic bed sheets! If I knew I have to sleep on polyester in a tropical environment , I would bring my own cotton sheet!!!
Parking - limited&quite tricky on uneven steep road. Also the parking is outside and no safety guaranteed.
Loud, ongoing construction- I know they were getting ready for the high season but it felt disappointing and disrespectful to those guests staying now and still paying!
- Sofia (10/5): -
- Kaija (10/5): Erholsamer Aufenthalt in der privaten ruhigen Villa - Optimale Lage außerhalb der Straße aber in 5 Minuten zum Strand.
Bungalows sind sehr groß und super ausgestattet. Der Pool war sehr sauber und eine gute Abwechslung zum Strand. Nichts auszusetzen
- Giacomo (10/5): - Wonderful location near the main beach of Santa Teresa, huge room, very good price (we stayed during low season but we were lucky and we enjoyed Costa Rica anyway), quiet place. It's a wise choice! Nothing
- Natalie (8/5): Good location for beach access - We stayed here for a few nights and enjoyed the location. The pool was a great asset and the staff were very friendly. The rooms were a little bit more basic than the photos depicted but the overall space was still comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor patio area.
- Lorena (10/5): -
- Sharon (10/5): Wonderful - I gave this place 5 stars only because 6 wasn’t an option. There was nothing more the owner and staff could have done to make the stay more pleasant. Including allowing us to stay another day by rearranging rooms and even offering to move different beds into our room to accommodate us. Nothing
- Albert (9/5): -
- PAULA (4/5): -
- Ana (7/5): - Swimming pool, location within Santa Teresa, staff was responsive on WhatsApp, yoga and surf were not available in the location Parking is difficult, sofa is not comfortable, toilet was not properly clean
- Fiona (6/5): -
- Robin (10/5): -
- Ilona (10/5): -
- Manuela (9/5): -
- Jeremy (7/5): Gute Lage aber nicht ganz sauber. - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist super! Viele Restaurants in der Nähe und in unter 5 Minuten am Strand.
Es werden Surf- und Yoga Lektionen angeboten, die beide sehr toll und gut organisiert sind.
Der Poolbereich war super wenn man mal nicht an den Strand wollte.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und immer über Whatsapp erreichbar. Leider war unsere Villa nicht sonderlich sauber gehalten und schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Fenster im Bad konnte man nicht ganz schliessen und die Klimaanlage war undicht und tropfte von der Wand herunter. Zudem hatten wir teilweise mehrere Ameisen Innen so wie auf der Terrasse.
- Madelief (6/5): Prima verblijf, zou er niet perse terugkeren - Ruime kamers Wat vervallen, het was ook niet heel schoon
- Olivier (9/5): -
- Sabrina (8/5): -
- Erica (10/5): Lovely and comfortable villas - Lovely hotel, comfortable and spacious villas, very friendly and helpful staff, and excellent location for exploring Santa Teresa beach and town. We booked activities through the reception staff and they were all great (yoga, surf lessons, ATV rental)! Easy access to local restaurants, especially Eat Street. Such a pretty retreat in a great location!
- Matthias (9/5): -
- Erica (10/5): Surf, yoga, and bliss in Santa Teresa! - Such a sweet spot in Santa Teresa! The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The reception staff were extremely helpful with booking activities. We enjoyed yoga and swimming on site, the beach access was a very convenient stroll down the path, and the location is convenient to all the restaurants and shops, especially Eat Street, where we had our breakfast most days.
- Sarah (10/5): Excellent would recommend as long as you have a raised vehicle - Great location and easy set up with keys and access Car parking was terrible with steep access. Needs to be divided and allocated.
- Minor (8/5): Excellent place - Excellent place, beach, supermarket, restaurants very close. The staff are very nice Quite and clean
- Pia (9/5): Great location and lovely room. As a solo traveller I highly recommend staying here - Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean and comfy. Great location. Highly recommend. Nothing
- Adar (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Tom (10/5): Best place to stay in Santa Teresa - Perfect location, amazing facilities, staff are wonderful, and can book everything you need through the property.
- Aline (8/5): Very good -
- Claire (10/5): Sanctuary in the best part of town - This is my favorite place to say in Santa Teresa! It has the best location, which is on the north side of the town, yet it’s very quiet as it’s a short walk from the Main Street. It’s very safe and has a beautiful quiet pool. The bed is big and comfortable and the AC in the room works well.
- Vautier (9/5): Superb -
- Anna (10/5): Gorgeous little oasis -
- Nina (9/5): Superb - Unfortunately there was no hairdryer but the staff was super kind and lent us their own. So all in all it was a very good place to stay
- Gabriel (8/5): Very good -
- Ngan (6/5): Nice but needs maintenance - All equipped and spacious; also offers a nice yoga floor There’s a weird canalization smell prevalent in the villa 6
- Beatriz (7/5): Very good - Great location, near to the best restaurants. Big and spacious room. Nice pool Breakfast was a long walk away to a different hotel, should be stated in description. Matress was uncomfortable (dipped on one side)
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petra (10/5): Exceptional - our stay was amazing! perfect location close to the ocean, to the surf spots, very quiet place with beautiful yoga shala, we really felt relaxed there ...... very well equipped for all we needed, highly recommended!
- Campbell (8/5): Very good -
- Leah (9/5): Absolutely wonderful space and amazing value for money - Very spacious, very comfy and private. The king size bed is amazing and so comfy. The facilities are good, the kitchen being in the living room means when you cook the smell goes round the place but that’s a picky thing.
- Federico (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreina (10/5): Best place to stay in Santa teresa - Amazinf staff and amazinf amaneties. Our AC didn’t work and the staff made sure we had another room to stay. Customer service is top notch and the place is beautiful We loved everything
- Warren (7/5): Good for families and couples right in the center of the town - The apartment was lovely. Very clean and lots of space. I liked the yoga offered and the location was great There were instances of black outs, water stopped running as they were doing construction. There was also a party going on where there were 50 people in the pool and our room was right outside of that area and it was so loud we couldn’t relax in our room.
- Walid (9/5): Superb -
- Jonathan (8/5): Very good -
- Edward (9/5): Purana Vida - Location was great, right beside the beach and the the staff were lovely and helpful, with a fablous settings The roads, but it is what it is with the dust.
- Oli (3/5): Worst customer service, would not stay again. shame as the location is great - Perfect location for being close to the centre and the beach, and calm enough away from the noise Terrible customer service, horrible self-check-in (wrong instructions), staff blaming each other and customers for their poor service. Drowning in irrelevant automated messages, completely confusing actual conversations with the staff.
- Niamh (9/5): Superb -
- Fernanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raymond (8/5): Nice location and space. - Lovely spot and nice one bedroom. Staff wasn’t there much and no food or drinks later in the day. All seemed gone by 3.
- Alex (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Beautiful hotel in a great location. It was so clean and so comfortable, very quiet and relaxing but just minutes away from the centre and the beach.
Excellent communication from the hotel before and during my stay.
The pool area was lovely and quiet.
Would highly recommend as a place to stay in Santa Teresa. Nothing

- Polly (9/5): Would happily return!! Loved my stay - Great location, close to beach, supermarket, restaurants/cafes, shopping, and offered activities like yoga and surfing! Felt safe and comfortable The bathroom could have been cleaner. Bit of grime on the shower head and in the toilet. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs but to be expected in the jungle during rainy season!!
- Lily (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely accomodation, nice and spacious. Pool was lovely. Staff didn’t seem to have that much local knowledge but did try their best.
- Helena (8/5): Comfortable quick stay - Beautiful landscape and plants surrounding the villas. There were cleaning spots left unattended. The shower had green mold coming out of each tiny hole. There was a roof window that haven’t been cleaned in a long time.

- Abbey (10/5): home away from home! true bliss - Great location and walking distance to the best food in town - Ani’s, Somos, Eat Street. Also beach access at the end of the street. I felt safe walking at night and was great to have window screens and air conditioning when needed.
- Pyanez (8/5): Perfect & quiet location for a surfing trip to Santa Teresa - Perfect location for Surfing. Quiet place for sleeping. Quality of food is high. Cleanliness is very good. Some parking is available at the property. Communication and logistics with the property are great. The pool area is very nice. Food offering is only vegetarian. Too many insects in the room (big ants and mosquitoes)
- Nuno (9/5): Superb - The room is very spacious. Good vibe and options for the breakfast And some troubles with the Wifi in the room
- Cushions (7/5): Good - Amazing location, big room, big bed, nice atmosphere! Too many bugs/ants in the room, water from both sinks and shower smelt terrible (maybe this is a Santa Teresa thing though).
- Emma (9/5): Superb - Amazing location
Lovely staff, lots of helpful recommendations
Fantastic yoga classes and studio Slightly small pool area, more space would be ideal but the beach is not far away so not a big issue!
- Romi (9/5): Superb -
- Thilo (8/5): calm peaceful beautiful - beautiful and peaceful property. central but in a quiet side street of noisy santa teresa. friendly, easy going staff, nice and spacious apartments. not far to the beach. i liked everything. if you want to be picky: the toilet could have been a bit cleaner and one window in the bedroom was broken. but nothing bothered me and i'm sure they would have fixed the "flaws" if i had said something.
- Zeynep (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (7/5): Good -
