Santa Teresa getaway
I highly recommend Greg as a host and Villa Almendro as a comfortable place to stay in Santa Teresa. If you want to be close to the beach, shops and restaurants, without being smack in the center of town, you won't find a better location. I especially enjoyed laying in the hammock while being protected from the rain, which we expected during the green season. Very peaceful! Check in was super easy.

The perfect place in Santa Teresa!
The apartment was right off the main road. It was close to the beach, restaurants and all the action but also felt private and secluded as well. We heard some noise from the street but it didn't bother us at all at night. Greg is the best host you'll ever have. He helped us with every little thing and often came by just to check in. The property has a dog named Luna who is the sweetest and most affectionate dog you'll ever meet. I'm not a dog person and she totally won me over.

Perfect experience
This was my 7th time staying in Santa Teresa and this was my favorite property so far. Greg and his staff are super attentive and available at any time to help with requests- taxis, rentals, or to make recommendations on restaurants or activities. Luna is the sweetest dog ever. I would absolutely stay again and recommend it to any traveler.

Could Not Have Been Better
I am single mom that traveling with my two pre-teen boys from the States to Costa Rica. Not only was the room absolutely perfect, the location, staff and owners went above and beyond at ever turn. Greg set up our taxi in and out and was available ALWAYS to answer real time questions. His staff was amazing and made us feel safe, welcome and comfortable. Absolute must stay!

We had a very enjoyable stay at villa almendro
Greg the owner, took a deep and sincere interest in ensuring our stay at his villa was great! Right from the beginning Greg shared his cell number and encouraged us to let him know of our needs and questions. He is an excellent communicator and responds to every query promptly, honestly and clearly by phone, WhatsApp email or text. The villa met our expectations. The best part was having breakfast on the lovely deck looking at the forest while listening to the howler monkeys and tropical birds. During the dry season the main road in Santa teresa is dirty and dusty! The back veranda faces the hills -not the road, and was perfect. The ac works well and together with the ceiling fans we were kept perfectly cool. Greg ensured that the cleaning staff came twice during our week and cleaned properly. Water in Santa Teresa is not potable but Greg set us up with a large bottle of water (10 Gallons for a small charge.) The beaches in Santa Teresa are among the most beautiful in the world. At our request, Greg found a beach chair for us. Greg was correct in saying that many of the hotels will let you use their pool, hammocks and chairs if you buy a drink or meal at their restaurant. We found that to be the case at the lovely Tropico Latino located a 1/2 mile down the beach. Groups of dogs roam around Santa teresa but over all the town is safe. Greg takes safety seriously by securing the property and guest vehicles with a high fence and gate. A friendly caretaker resides on the property and is available to take care of anything should it arise. Greg was extremely conscientious and hospitable and really made our stay at the villa wonderful.

Great spot
We stayed over samana santa with two adults; two kids and a dog! We had a great time. The condo was a great size and super close to everything. We walked everywhere - beach, shops, burger places! Greg was super helpful and had lots of dinner suggestions!

Clean, Cozy, Close to the beach
Villa Almendro (part of Villas Solar) is a great place. Greg and his staff are super nice and helpful. The apartment is super cute, very clean and secure. Also a plus it is very close to the beach! We ate out as we were only here for 2 nights but there is a fully equipped kitchen for meals and a well priced market close by. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Playa Santa Teresa!
