Guest Reviews

Isabelle (7/5): -
Gonzalez Rodriguez (10/5): Genial! - Limpieza, ubicación y servicio al cliente. Quizás el parqueo un poco chico.
Marleen (8/5): Good vibes - Heerlijke rustige oase om te ontsnappen aan de drukke straat. Fijne kamer. Chill zwembad. Keuken was super schoon en alles wat je nodig hebt. Heeeel veel muggen, dus buiten zitten was bijna niet te doen. Het is wel een stukje lopen naar de leuke tentjes in de hoofdstraat, dus je zit ook uit de gezelligheid. Plus als vrouw wil je niet helemaal alleen teruglopen naar daar.
Kathrein (10/5): -
Arcieri (8/5): Great place to stay! - Santeria Lodge is in a great location in Playa Carmen. It's clean and well organized. The rooms are clean, with enough space and comfortable! I appreciated the shared kitchen including the shared refrigerators. I felt the kitchen was kept clean for hostel standards. Each room has a little outdoor sitting area with good lighting which I liked to use mornings/evenings. The shower is hot enough with decent water pressure. They provided bar soap and towels. It was quiet enough, while still being on the main road. The connection with the surf shop and surf instructors absolutely made my trip! I had a great time with Allan and his crew of instructors at Pura Vida Surfers. The girls working at the surf shop were super helpful, kind and generous with their time. The pool is small but fresh and very welcomed after hot days at the beach! The walls are rather thin, which is common in accommodations in Costa Rica/Central America. I used my noise cancelling airpods most nights.
Hannah (8/5): Genau das richtige für unsere Zeit in Santa Teresa. - Sehr gemütlich und toller Innenhof mit Pool. Hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Die Tür zur Toilette war nicht schließbar, schlechte Luftzirkulation im Badezimmer.
Berta (10/5): -
Mora (10/5): Muy buena ubicación - El dueño nos ayudó en todo lo que le pedimos con la mejor disposición
Sandra (10/5): -
Yemerith (10/5): -
Lorne (10/5): It was like a dream. - Close to beach, restaurants, atv rental. The nightlife can be loud but ear plugs and white noise can fix that if you need an early night.
Nanon (9/5): - Geweldige locatie, 5 minuten vanaf het strand! Supergezellig plek om andere reizigers te leren kennen met genoeg privacy om je terug te trekken. Heerlijke buitenkeuken en zwembad. Wij zouden zeker terugkomen!!! -
Ana (10/5): - Nos ha encantado. Nos han tratado genial y el sitio es precioso. Sin duda muy recomendable
Vanessa HH (7/5): Eine gute Alternative, wenn man keine hohen Ansprüche hat - - die Lage war mega! In ein paar Gehminuten ist man am wundervollen Strand und es gibt gleich nebenan ein tolles Restaurant (La Choza) - Der Innenbereich der Anlage ist noch viel schöner als auf den Fotos! Sehr grün, toll bewachsen, viele Möglichkeiten zum Sitzen - Parkmöglichkeiten vorhanden (first come, first safe) - offene Gemeinschaftsküche mit der Möglichkeit zu kochen - Wäscheständer vorhanden - Feeling in der Anlage ist einfach irgendwie toll - Die Kommunikation der Eigentümer hat mir nicht gefallen. 5% Paypal-Kosten muss der Gast bei der 50%-Zahlung im Voraus draufzahlen, was eigentlich die Kosten der Unterkunft sein müssen. Zudem wurde mir meine Unterkunft seitens der Eigentümer storniert bevor die Zahlungsfrist überhaupt abgelaufen war. Es gab dann noch eine Nachricht, dass ich doch innerhalb von x-Zeit zahlen solle, aber auch diese Zeit wurde nicht eingehalten, sondern schon einfach storniert. Ich habe mich dadruch als Gast nicht willkommen gefühlt. Aus Mangel an bezahlbaren Alternativen, habe ich nochmals gebucht, glücklicherweise zum gleichen Preis - Wir hatten keine Nachtischlampen im Zimmer und haben eine bekommen als wir danach gefragt haben - Anlage hat eher Hostel-Charakter. Daher Ausstattung sehr einfach, schon in die Jahre gekommen und wenn die Klimaanlage nicht an war, roch es schimmelig (dafür habe ich aber Verständnis aufgrund der sehr hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit in Santa Teresa) - Sehr schmutziger Schwamm in der Gemeinschaftsküche, der schon Ewigkeiten nicht mehr gewechselt worden zu sein scheint -> am besten einfach einen eigenen mitbringen - man hört die Straße wirklich laut
Julia (10/5): Excellent! Staff, accommodations, everything was as expected or better. Would stay there again! - Everything! My room was clean and quiet, kitchen clean and had everything needed to make a meal. I like that I got my own designated shelf in the fridge, and any minor issues (ex hot water in my shower) was fixed immediately by staff. I highly recommend I liked everything. Staff was very kind, place was clean, located as expected. If anything, booking.com should update their photos as it is nicer in person
Emmanuel (9/5): Séjour très agréable, chambre confortable, jardin somptueux et personnel au top. - La décoration sombre et boisée des chambres, la végétation dans le jardin, la petite piscine, l'absence d'autres clients ou presque (nous étions hors saison), l'accueil et l'aide par le personnel (particulièrement lorsque notre 4X4 a eu un pneu crevé), la cuisine à disposition, la proximité de l'océan, le linge de lit et bain changés régulièrement. La literie grinçait. L'entretien du jardin. Les bruits des motos dans la rue, mais ce n'est pas la faute de l'hôtel.
Lena (10/5): -
Eike (8/5): -
Britt (9/5): Mooie locatie en fijn verblijf - De accommodatie was erg knus en is van alles voorzien. Je hebt een heerlijk zwembad en bent op loopafstand van het strand. Het was ietwat gehorig en de douche werd niet warmer dan 34 graden.
Irma (8/5): Super fijne plek om een paar dagen te verblijven - Mooie kamer en veranda buiten. Grote koelkast erbij, fijne douche, heerlijk zwembad. Fijn dat je de auto op het terrein kon parkeren. Door de hoge ramen zonder gordijnen was het ‘s ochtends al vroeg licht in de kamer.
Schmidt (9/5): Excelente lugar, super céntrico. - Excelente ubicación, la habitación muy limpia y el lugar en general muy acogedor. Los espacios comunes muy bien, la cocina, el comedor, la piscina, todo excelente.
Kurt (10/5): Nice bungalow close to the beach - Liked the hammocks and close to the beach Bit strange that refrigerator was on balcony, not inside.
Sydney (10/5): Exceptional - Host Valentina was so great, the place was clean and very pretty
Jaclyn (5/5): Good location, clean, but very loud and hectic, not worth the price of admission - It was right in the middle of Santa Teresa. Very close to beach and bars/restaurants and stores. It was clean and I appreciated the pool and common area to store, cook, and eat my food. The walls were paper thin with some holes in areas such as the meeting point between the roof and the wall. So guests heard everything going on in the next room and the loud noise from the street traffic was a constant issue. The main road in Santa Teresa is gravel with potholes, no designated walkway and the cars, trucks, ATVs, motorcycles, bikes were traversing this road with no adherence to traffic rules. I almost got ran over by a motorcyclist. She was so close to me that she hit the pizza box I was holding and almost knocked my dinner out of my hands. The driveway and parking was overrun by trees and bushes to the point it obstructed my parking space. The host only accepts payment via cash or PayPal. PayPal charges a 5% service fee that is incurred on the merchants transaction side, yet my host charged me an extra 5% to cover the PayPal service fee. This was a hidden fee not included in the booking.com price so I (customer) incurred the financial burden of the 5% service fee charged by PayPal. This was an unexpected hidden fee and the customer shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden of the merchants choice of payment. The host chose PayPal, the host should bear the cost of the fees.
Jessica (10/5): Can’t wait to come back ⭐️ - You’re in the south next to the good restaurants and the beach just in front is quiet. Owners and visitors are great. Take earplugs for the night (busy street and town) and enjoy the chill vibes of the Lodge. Best holidays ever 🫶 I loved everything ! Maybe a change of pans in the kitchen could be nice but apart from that 👍👍
Paradise (10/5): Paradise in paradise. - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Santeria Lodge. Not only is the location prime - just steps from the beach, next to Super Ronny’s grocery store, short walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, gym, and urgent care and pharmacies - I felt completely safe being a lady solo traveler. When you open the gates, it’s literally a paradise in paradise. And take it from me, my name is literally Paradise. 😉 Valentina and her husband made my stay so welcomed and effortless. When i wanted to extend my stay, they were very accommodating. I had my own bungalow with fridge and I also appreciated the communal kitchen. All the guests of Santeria had such positive energy. We became good friends. The space is very well maintained and clean, peaceful, respectful, everything you could ask for. An incredible gem and very fairly priced. I highly recommend Santeria Lodge if you’re looking to stay in Santa Teresa. I am definitely returning to Santeria Lodge! Thank you Valentina and Andrea! Loved everything. Nothing bad to say.
Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
Anahitta (10/5): Exceptional - This was the most beautiful and perfect lodge. It’s got a gate that protects you and your car. The cabins are all so clean with AC and have their own little terrace with hammocks. There is a beautiful pool and outdoor lounging and shower area. The kitchen and community space is beautiful and shady. The whole place is so clean even though you’re in the jungle. There is a path to the beach which is directly outside. and you’re by surf shops and stores. It was literally heaven. The walls are thin so we were told to be quiet a few times but that’s totally understandable.
Sada (9/5): Great stay for travelers who enjoy meeting other travelers. If you don’t have a car, it is ideal since it is so close to - Nice shared pool, garden and kitchen. The rooms were very comfortable with a nice big deck and great AC, which is definitely necessary. Great place to cool down and relax after a day out Very close to the main road, so loud at times because of traffic. At the same time, you could walk anywhere easily and walk to the beach in minutes, so it was worth it to be in the “downtown”.
Álvaro (8/5): Very good -
Ajimenez (8/5): Nice cabins to spend a few says - The staff is very friendly. We visited during the low season, so we had the facilities almost to ourselves. The hotel is close to the beach, although we drove to other beaches with more shade. There’s a nearby supermarket that has everything, and there’s a space in the fridge to store food for each cabin. The facilities are a bit worn out, and there was a lot of noise from neighbors outside the hotel. Parking might be challenging if there are other guests. Although we like animals, it was sometimes difficult to eat as the hotel cat would jump on the table and enter the cabin.
Ernst (10/5): Exceptional - It's was so great
Juliette (8/5): Very good -
Jessica (8/5): Very good - The shared kitchen was a great resource.
Philip (9/5): Really enjoyable and will come back again! - Pool, patio outside room, very close to beach Fridge was a bit leaky but I appreciate it is difficult to keep it in perfect condition with so many people using it! Overall it was fine !
Emily (9/5): Superb -
Marcos (10/5): Exceptional -
Lauren (9/5): Great location and place to stay for surfing and to relax - Loved the small community here, it was a range of age groups but gave a really nice perspective and family feel to our stay. Lots of the guests come back every year and were very helpful with recommendations and helping with surfing advice. The beach path is right across the street and only about a 5 minute walk which was great and this property is in an excellent location in general. It was really clean and the kitchen was great to cook, pool and hammocks also nice. You can hear the sliding doors easily of your neighbours since the rooms are attached to each other but can be fixed with ear plugs.
Raymond (9/5): Superb - The property is very centrally located and a very short walk from the beach. Most of ST can be explored in a ten minute walk south or a thirty minute walk north. Lots of food options in the area at all price points. Santeria was a great value for the price… very well equipped and had everything we needed to stay comfortable for a few nights. No ants or other bugs! There are maybe nicer places to stay in the area, but at 2-3+ times the price. The WiFi was fast and generally consistent (lots of remote workers around). The pool was refreshing, even cooler than expected. The owners were accommodating to our needs and flexible as our plans changed. The plants have grown up a lot since the photos… it is a shady jungle paradise and very comfortable even in the afternoon heat. Any dislikes were really minor and tolerable, like the A/C having a loud rattle at certain settings or not having hot water the first night (it was quickly fixed). Some of the bungalows are adjoined and there can be some noise from other rooms. There can also be some minor noise from the main road, but that’s the cost of such a central location.
Martin (7/5): Good - The pool was nice, cool, with plenty of space to lounge in the sun and shade. Also, the private terrace included a hammock and a bean bag chair. Drying rack provided, sounds simple, but made a major difference for drying all our clothes in the sun. Other places we stayed in the same area didn't have that. No safe in the room. The main access to the property was not locking, allowing free access to the logging area.
Yoav (7/5): It is a great affordable option. A bang for your buck. - Valentina the hostess was the nicest person ever. She was super friendly and welcoming. We did not use the kitchen but it was a huge plus to have a fridge, cooktop and utensils to cook. The pool was very clean as well. Location is just perfect, you literally are in the middle of the action, you don’t need a car at this place. You have the path to the beach right in front of you, supermarket and restaurants just steps away. We used the private parking. It would have been nice to be able to lock the whole entrance to the parking. If you analyze the prices on this area, Santeria is a great option and obviously that comes with some trade offs. We believe the following areas could improve: + they do not accept credit cards, we had to secure the reservation through a bank transfer paying 50% before arriving and 50% cash on arrival. + we did not like the towels, they were too thin. Better bring your own towels. + the room probably was left open before our arrival and we had the whole mosquito family living there and they ate us alive, not the end of the world though just make sure you put some mosquito spray. + the walls between rooms are made of gypsum so we often heard our neighbor banging on the wall, not sure if they were throwing stuff or sending a sign to ask us to shut up. Definitely not very much privacy. + the entrance to the room is glass doors the lock was hard to close and open, and also curtains were thin so if you need total darkness to sleep bring something to cover your eyes. + we could hear and see the club music/lights from the room door but with ear plugs this was solved and we were able to sleep perfectly. As you can see these are all minor things you can live with, if you put the whole thing on perspective it is a good deal specially given the fact that our room had AC, private bathroom, shared bridge. Parking and perfect location.
Robert (9/5): Superb - Very nice and cozy, perfect to relax and chill, Access to the beach Mosquitos everywhere and also in the Appartement.
Bryan (10/5): I highly recommend the Santeria Lodge for a wonderful Tico getaway - Wonderful stay, great location and very helpful owners 😄 You can rent a surf board right on the property and it’s a two minute walk to the beach 🤙🏻 Fun common area to meet the fellow guests if you’re social
David (10/5): Great Oasis steps from everything you need - Great little oasis. Very clean and comfortable. Outstanding staff very clean and comfortable great A/C. Very clean shared kitchen The darn raccoons that got the dogs barking at 3am but that's nature
Yu (10/5): Exceptional -
Anonymous (10/5): Best place where to stay in Santa Teresa. I will definitely come back - I was in a single room with private bathroom. The spaces were big and always clean. I loved the little area outside the room where you can relax on the hammock. Also the common areas (kitchen, pool) were always clean and it is very quiet at night. The structure is close to the best beaches for surfing and also the best restaurants in Santa Teresa.
Annika (10/5): It’s a peaceful place and all was as described and matching the pictures, even more green and therefore even more beauti -
Mónica (10/5): Exceptional -
Nahuel (9/5): Superb -
Katja (9/5): Great location, lovely garden and private deck - Great location, close to the beach, laundry express and supermarket next door, surfboard rental for guests. Lovely private deck and very nice communal space for lounging, cooking, dining. Very nice garden, small pool. Only one small towel every 3 days, no toilet paper for the last 2 days. Shower control way up high, must be at least 6 ft tall to reach. No holder for shower, hose too short, curtain too short, so bathroom flooded every time.
Lærke (8/5): Very good -
Fernando (8/5): Very good -
Tamara (10/5): Exceptional -
Nutnicha (10/5): affordable and wholesome - cute, close to the beach. great room with a/c. hammock and bean bag on the balcony. nice cozy common area, great location and the lobby itself is also a concept shop with nice clothing and accessories for affordable price.
Alexis (10/5): Exceptional - Great location next to a beach access. Great food (local and other) and grocery next to it too. Easy to rent a surf. Surf rental is 24h which is nice vs same day. Great kitchen and fridge. Pool is nice too. Was able to park car inside gate. Friendly staff and owners. Would stay again!
Taras (2/5): This was the worst experience among our many trips to St. Teresa. Just terrible. -
Millie (10/5): Exceptional - Fresh pool, room & well equipped kitchen. The staff are very accommodating and helpful & we could not have wished for a better location of the accommodation. Really recommend the place as we were able to rent surfboards cheaply, got help with booking excursions and the owners were really solution-oriented. When our friend arrived, she only had accommodation for a few nights, but Valentina quickly arranged a new, larger room for all three of us. Construction was on going next to the hotel. Therefore it was not as peaceful as expected. However, this is not the hotel’s fault.
Sara (10/5): we loved Santeria Lodge! - amazing location so close to the beach and supermarket, restaurants etc. great facilities, good size private room with a little deck and hammock which was great for a midday siesta! was also so nice to have the pool when you wanted to escape from the beach. Valentina and Andrea were so lovely and helpful, helping to arrange our transport from San Jose. would 100% recommend! nothing!
Anonymous (10/5): Really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful location. - Loved the location and the atmosphere of this property. Great community and shared space..and love the outside decks of each place. Showers could be a little warmer.

Byron (8/5): Very good -
Siem (9/5): Superb -
Marion (10/5): Perfect for surfing - Perfect starting point for a surfing trip! Very nice host. The room has everything you need.
Ardita (10/5): Exceptional -
Danielle (9/5): Beautiful, Bright & Friendly - The property is bright, friendly and all the rooms maintain a great sense of privacy. The owners can not do enough for you and are super helpful! We had a wonderful stay and are so glad we chose Santeria Lodge. There is some building work going on outside of the property which can be loud and not very relaxing if you are planning to lay by the pool all day. But with the beach so close, who would?!
Sofi (9/5): Superb - the rooms were private, the pool was great and super close to everything. we also had a flat with our car and andrea helped us! thanks again
Nikki (4/5): Nice location but accommdation very poorly - The location and the outside area The door could not be locked from the inside, we asked about this at check-in and the owner told us to just put something in front of the door. Later we saw on Google reviews about the similar thing from a year ago… From the outside the door could be locked but hardly The bathroom was super small and not clean. There was a constant sewer smell coming from the bathroom.. When you flush the toilet everything comes back up later, the toilet paper and the rest also We left with pain in our backs from the matresses
Joseph (10/5): Will definitely stay here next time I come back. - Great location. Access to the beach was just across the street. Central location. Very close to the grocery store, the bakery and Taco Corner. Not much, I don’t have any complaints.
Gianfranco (10/5): The Highlight of our Holiday!! - Beautiful bungalows surrounded by a lush garden. We were amazed by the HIGH LEVEL OF CLEANLINESS throughout the the whole place. The hosts Valentina and Andrea were very nice and helpful.
Joseph (9/5): Santeria Lodge was a positive and comfortable space in the perfect location at a great value. - The location and cleanliness of the property was amazing. It had everything we needed at a good value. The property is small and intimate which was great for our needs. There wasn’t anything that struck us as inadequate. The common kitchen was a bit sparsely appointed, but it meets one’s basic cooking and food storage needs. The owners of the property lives on-site which was positive for us to feel that they are accessible. Potential guests should be aware that this property is more suitable to relaxing and staging for activities than being a party specific destination.
Jess (6/5): Pleasant - location was great uncomfortable bed and my towels on arrival smelt used. didn’t feel like the most cleanest place.
Rens (10/5): Amazing hosts and the lodge is beautiful! -
Joris102 (9/5): Superb - A really nice place and great location, you can reach everything by foot and it's about a 2min walk to the beach. The kitchen has all you need and the hosts were really helpful. My shower wasn't that great
Verified traveler (10/5): - Super Aufenthalt. Kochnische für alle ist an sich gut ausgestattet grundsätzlich kann man hier alles zubereiten. Lage befindet sich unmittelbar in Strandnähe playa Carmen. Maximal 2-3 Minuten zu Fuß. Auch wenn die Santeria lodge nah an der Straße liegt bekommt man den Lärm eher nicht mit.. nur die Pfeifen die ggf. Hart auf ihr Gaspedal ballern, aber die hört man dann auch oben in den Bergen :-) AC funktioniert tadellos. Pool hat bis ca. 15:00 Uhr Sonne :-) aber ansonsten kann man die letzten Sonnenstrahlen auch auf dem yogadeck abfangen. Also..alles prima! Würde es bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen
kelli (8/5): - Good place to stay, great location, 3 minutes walk to the beach. Comunal kitchen which we cooked an amazing breakfast. Valentina and Andrea were a great host! Awesome Wi-Fi, I really recommend to stay there
Verified traveler (8/5): - Muy bonito agradable lugar rústico , Parqueo no está habilitado para el establecimiento lleno tuvimos que dejar el carro afuera del Lugar de hospedaje pero todo bien por dicha 🙏
Catherine (10/5): Tres bon sejour, joli cadre, bien situé - Joli cadre, décoration sympa, piscine très belle. Possibilité de cuisiner, une cuisine est à disposition. Plusieurs restos tres bons aux alentours. A deux pas de la plage (attention il est noté dans la description "sur la plage", ce nest pas le cas bien que ce soit vraiment près). Il manquait juste la présence de savon / shampoing pour la douche.
