Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach
5/5 Excellent
"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."
