The hotel is perfectly situated at the start of the town so you never have to travel on the dusty main road with all the traffic. The staff was just incredible- from Astrid and David at the front desk ensuring we had the most amazing stay to the wonderful staff in the beautiful breakfast area with a free breakfast that included 3 made-to-order delicious options. The hotel includes parking which is key in such a congested area and is steps from the gorgeous Santa Teresa/Carmen beach which are basically the same beach. I strongly recommend staying at this incredible boutique hotel. You will LOVE it!!

Nothing!!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The service was exceptional, staff were friendly and always eager to assist with anything needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and restaurants. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide selection of fresh, delicious options to start the day. As for comfort, the room was spacious, clean and beautifully designed, with a cozy bed that ensure a restful night’s sleep. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic experience in Santa Teresa.

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach is perfectly situated about 100 yards from the beach. It is modern, clean and well maintained. The whole team is very friendly. They do an amazing breakfast we called the 'Full Costa Rican' with pinto (rice and beans) eggs cooked your way, cheese plantain and bacon. The usual cereals, toast, jams, yogurt and fruits were available as well as fresh coffee and a selection of teas and juices. There is a coffee pod machine in the room. Ice and chilled water is also available 24/7 There's no bar, lunch, or dinner available, but there are plenty of places to go nearby. Hotel guests get a 10% discount at El Carmen, the beach bar in front of the hotel. We went there most evenings to watch the sunset, which is truly magical.

Cute boutique hotel! This is a great location, a quick 2 minute walk to its beautiful beach! You could hear the waves at night. Located at end of the strip/drag of Santa Teresa, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was great - made to order (i.e. eggs, pancakes, french toast, plantains, rice/beans - it was delicious!!) We would definitely stay here again!!!

Everything was fabulous - nothing not to like here!! Hotel, staff, breakfast - all fantastic! Best place to stay in Santa Teresa!

The staff at this hotel were truly excellent! David and Sharon and Warren all made us feel like they really cared deeply about providing a tremendous experience. They helped with excursions, restaurants, among many other little ways they made us feel welcome. The breakfast also was lovely. It is also close enough to walk to the Mal Pais tide pools and great restaurants. The pool was also a great place to relax! Overall, we had an outstanding experience!

The location was amazing. Lots of good places to eat nearby and right next to the beach. Staff were very friendly and willing to help. There were also a couple grocery stores nearby where you could buy snacks. Pool was lovely and the free coffee in the lobby was great.

Everything was great but sometimes the housekeeping would come later in the day instead of the morning.

Great little hotel. Gorgeous pool area. Great amenities, lovely spa with 10% off. Staff were super knowledgeable about the area, made restaurant reservations for us in advance (we spoke via whatsapp). Close to beach and they provide beach towels! There was a problem with our air conditioner in the first room we stayed in and they immediately moved us to a new room.

Breakfast was good. Carmen was good. Staff was great.

Get rid of the pigeons… I know it is hard. I forgot to tell you that outside of our room, 304, behind the air conditioner, there is a pigeon on a nest you could get rid of… another note on that subject - the CDs and hawks statues do work but with the hawks in particular - they work better if you move them once a week.
