The Neighborhood: You'll be staying in Playa Hermosa, only minutes from the heart of Santa Teresa.

With local restaurants and shops nearby, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore and enjoy all the beautiful region has to offer.
Getting Around: Most people in Santa Teresa get around by car, motorbike, or ATV. Only if you are comfortable there are many places to rent an ATV along the main road in town, which is great for the dry season, otherwise, we recommend you rent a car or use the local taxi services.
