The staff is wonderful. They are friendly and very helpful. The rooms are cute and clean. It’s fairly quiet at night. The property is 1 block from the beach and walking distance to other popular areas. Breakfast was simple. The fresh fruit was the highlight for me.

The room was spotless. The staff were very kind and interested in making our experience the best it could be. The breakfast was delicious and we could see monkeys in the trees while having our morning coffee. The view from the room was a bit obscured but we were so close to the beach it didn't matter. Great to have deals at local restaurants as well. We had a great stay!

My experience at this hotel was simply outstanding. From the very beginning, the staff’s service was spectacular friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel itself is truly beautiful, carefully maintained, and offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The included breakfast is another highlight: the variety is excellent, with plenty of delicious options to choose from every morning. The location couldn’t be better, perfectly situated to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Without a doubt, it’s the best hotel in the area. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to come back.

I recently stayed at Hotel Santa Teresa and was pleasantly surprised by how much it has improved since my last visit years ago. Everything feels clean, renewed, and very well maintained, giving the hotel a fresh and inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The service was excellent—every employee I interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely willing to help with anything I needed. It really made a difference in the overall experience. The location is also a big plus: close to everything, easy to get around, and perfect for enjoying the area without long commutes. Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable and comfortable. It felt like a completely different place from my previous experience in the past, in the best way possible. I definitely recommend it and look forward to returning.

Lovely friendly hotel. Staff supremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful pool and bar area. Good breakfast choices. Fruit, granola, yoghurt. Plus choices of English cooked breakfast or typical Costa Rican breakfast of beans and rice. Great location for the beach. Cannot recommend this place more highly.

I stayed for two days with my family and friends, and everything was absolutely perfect. I had stayed here before, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the hotel has been completely renovated under new management. Everything is spotless, modern, and well-maintained. The breakfast was one of the highlights — freshly prepared and delicious, with excellent service throughout our stay. The staff was friendly and attentive at all times. The location is unbeatable — just a 1-minute walk to the beach. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this place!

Great place to stay near Santa Terrsa

We had a great 2 night stay here and would definitely come back. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast included was excellent-I particularly loved the cappuccino machine! The pool was small but lovely. The ocean view was only partial due to trees, but it is only a block to to the beach which was beautiful.
