Beautiful grounds, rooms and pool, lovely location on the beach. Nice beach restaurant and lovely included breakfast. Lovely welcome, drinks and cookies on departure. Hammocks on beach for sunset Everyone very friendly Lots of lizards and squirrels and sometimes howler monkeys.
There are a lot of stray dogs in Santa Teresa. Dark on roads - walking at night

We loved the whole vibe of this hotel. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow, all of which are located only 10 paces from a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach. The bungalow itself was a good size with some very nice touches. You are 400yards from the centre of Santa Teresa which had a younger, laid back feel to it with alot of great places to eat and drink. This is a super relaxing hotel and town to visit. It may be worth noting that the surf and riptide here is quite strong, you wouldn't want young ones to enjoy the sea unsupervised.
The accommodation is not cheap, to charge for breakfast is a bit tight.

Small resort with excellent beach location Well integrated in nature Pleasant atmosphere
Breakfast and restaurant service should be better for a 5x resort Overpriced for the value proposition of this resort

Very nice facilities and rooms, close to a beautiful beach good food
I had to turn off the mini-fridge at night because it was too loud. The wifi router and phone also had bright lights which I had to cover with clothes

The property was amazing. We stayed in a beach front bungalow and it very private with a perfect location, only steps away from beach. The hotel provides security at all times on the beach, so I felt very safe. All the workers at the hotel were extremely accommodating. You can schedule all a activities via WhatsApp and it was so easy.

Great staff and stunning location. Restaurant was probably the best in the local area too - try the romantic option with fire torches on the beach!
Wifi didnt have 100% coverage in the beach area - but mostly was very good. Nothing else to say on the negative side! Not cheap but well worth it. More healthy options outside of egg on menu would be good!

The stars of the show are, by far, your staff members! Every single one of them!
My room was adjoining a construction site and I had asked for a quiet location. Also, the lighting on the paths is very bad, almost dangerous unless one has a flashlight. Suggestion: the staff could ask single ladies if they need someone to walk them back from the restaurant to their room.

This hotel is a 10/10! The food and drinks were delicious. I loved being on the main road and being able to walk to the beach and local restaurants/shopping. The room are spacious with an indoor/outdoor shower and the bed was so comfortable. The property Is stunning!! I loved watching the sunsets from the beach bar!
I was really hoping there would be more privacy when I was using my private pool. I also think they need to have extra trash cans in the room.
