9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (48 reviews)
"I traveled with my wife and two kids. The property is just in front of the beach and you are surrounded by jungle. The rooms are excellent, the staff is amazing and the food was delicious. It is very private and you can walk through amazing trails to nearby beaches. There is parking on site. Do consider driving a 4x4 so you can get all the way to the hotel as there is a short drive on sand before reaching the property. If not, no worries, you can leave your car in the hotel Sano Banano, and...

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We had the room 401 with a very nice balcony and view on the sea. The king bed was awesome and we used the kitchen basics. Good coffee machine. The pool was clean and ideal for hot days. The breakfast was delicious and efficient; shout out to the team!! Excellent job. The beach is walking distance. I just wish the surroundings of the hotel was a little bit cleaner (dog poop on the sidewalks for example). I enjoyed the free purified water machine, ice and coffee always available; best feature of all my hotels in Costa Rica. Some light touch ups are required : the tile in the bathroom was broken and my son cut himself on it. Overall, would recommend!!"
