Best location, amazing staff, LOVE!

We could not be any happier, this was the best location, close to the beach, great pool area to relax in a shady spot for peace and quiet. The rooms and room service are 5***** clean and fresh, smells amazing. The staff is incredibly helpful and so friendly. We felt like we were family. Look out for the two resident iguanas.

We stayed here for two days. Very clean room and hotel. 5 minutes walk to the beach. Nice comfortable bed. The most helpful and friendly staff. Especially David and Victor and Estrid. They respond to WhatsApp messages and calls immediately with helpful answers. David was on the phone with me for over twenty minutes walking me through the process of booking a ferry from Paquera to Puntarenas. We would most definitely stay here without hesitation if we are again in Santa Teresa!

Ótimo hotel

Ótimo hotel, bem perto da praia e dos restaurantes e lojinhas de Santa Teresa. Meu quarto tinha uma varanda com vista para o mar e com um pôr do sol lindo! O café da manhã é delicioso, com muitas opções de frutas, sucos, panqueca… o time do hotel foi super atencioso e simpático.

Newly renovated. Steps to the beach and nice restaurants such as the Bakery. The pool is a bit small but sufficient for a lazy day away from the beach. The young staff is super professional and friendly. David helped us settle in and throughout our stay listened patiently to my broken Spanish. Louis helped us book a ferry ride at Playa Naranjo because the website is in Spanish only. We hope to revisit some day

A very enjoyable stay

Fabulous boutique hotel, with great design! Perfect location, close to the beach and restaurants, bars, yet quiet for a good rest. There were small construction works being done during our stay, but the staff could not have been more accommodating, so we were not inconvenienced at all. A nice variety is offered for breakfast. The service was second to none, all staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Jose, Stephen and Luis, who even booked ferry tickets for us. You guys are a credit to the business! Highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again!
