Across the street from the main road to the beach- several restaurants within walking distance- short drive to other restaurants and shopping. Rooms were big and spacious- friendly staff.

We stayed in the apartment style cabana. We both loved the accommodations! Very spacious, staff was hospitable and knowledgeable. We had monkeys in the morning playing in the trees. This was walking distance to the beach. Fantastic food next door and throughout!

The place was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Walking distance to shops/restaurants and across the street from the beach. The bed was terrible. The indentations in the mattress were so deep on both sides you had to sleep in them otherwise you would roll into them or sleep very uncomfortably. They created back pains and as a couple we had to sleep apart/no cuddling for the misses. The other issue we saw were the throw pillows are not washed...I went to use one to sit up straight as watching TV and it was dirty along with what appeared to be a small blood stain on it. Had it not been for these two issues I would have gave 5 stars. Now to be fair, we did not address the issues while there. We had just driven 8 hours and didn't have the energy. Had we, I would like to think they would have helped however they could, but these issues should have been addressed before we got there.

A wonderful night and the best breakfast.
We stayed over at the hotel for one night while waiting for our long-term rental to be ready. The rooms were spacious and we spent a lovely day by the pool and at the nearby beach. We were particularly impressed that the room included 2 beach chairs that we could talk with us to watch the spectacular Santa Teresa sunset that night. We dined at El Facon Grill next door and enjoyed great food and live music, and there's even a great coffee shop (Cafca Cafe) that whips up amazing smoothies, just steps away. The bed was very comfortable and overall it was a great stay. I would not hesitate to return and would happily have stayed longer. In the morning, breakfast was delivered to our patio and it was outstanding... The granola with yoghurt and fruit was particularly tasty and we were so full we skipped lunch that day. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place in Santa Teresa, away from the traffic jams and noise of the downtown core.

Hotel is ok. We stayed in the 2nd most expensive room on the property and it was absolutely terrible. The kitchen and bed wall is shared with the housekeeping area and so every morning at 6AM we would hear them opening and closing a cabinet and banging glassware against the wall. We informed the hotel and requested a new room, but they never fulfilled that request. We also had a sofa seating area, that I guess is also "2 twin size beds," which they must never clean because as we were packing up our belongings, we moved the cushions and found used condom wrappers. We were totally grossed out and it only confirmed the level of cleanliness this hotel prides itself to be. We also had a kitchen and so they provided a sponge and dish soap, but the sponge they provided was dirty and used - especially in todays "COVID" world, we were shocked and also disgusted that they would leave us a used sponge. We asked for a new one, in which they replaced just the following day. The only great thing about this hotel is the location to the beach and the pool. We will never stay here again and we won't recommend it to friends considering what we experienced. It's not worth the value.

Not the best in town
The place is nice but a bit out dated. There are no water in the hotel only in the reception where you fill up your glass bottle which is only open 8AM-8PM but some times the staff is not there. The cleaner never locked the door after cleaning which I found quite disrespectful. Overall fine hotel but no good service
