Our stay at this hotel was definitely worth every penny. The room was modern, well-equipped, and had a cool balcony. The location was perfect, nestled in a peaceful and quiet area with a beautiful swimming pool. The staff were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. it was a flawless experience.
The only thing that could have been better about the breakfast selection was that it had a bit too much salt in the eggs.

I recently stayed at a hotel in the beautiful area of Santa Teresa for a few days. The location was perfect, surrounded by nature yet still close to the vibrant party scene. The breakfast at this hotel was truly special, with a wide variety of options and a fantastic host named John who went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The swimming pool was a great spot to relax, especially with the floating beds available. The atmosphere was always tranquil, even during high season. it was an enjoyable and unforgettable stay.
Would recommend this hotel.

Situated in a breathtaking natural setting, this lodge offers a truly immersive experience in nature. The private bungalows are beautifully designed and provide all the comforts one could desire, including hardwood floors, cozy down comforters, and cold A/C for a perfect night's sleep. The highlight is the outdoor shower with a stunning view of the ocean. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring a memorable stay. The restaurant offers a spectacular view and scrumptious breakfast.
One minor drawback is the distance from the hotel to the nearest beach. While it may be a bit further than expected, the hotel provides bicycles for guests to use, making the journey more convenient.

This place was worth every penny! The bungalow was amazing with hardwood floors, a cozy bed, and an outdoor shower with a view of the ocean. The staff treated us like royalty, and the owner went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back.
Food for breakfast could have been better, found a hair on my fruit bowl.

I recently stayed at a wonderful lodge with a breathtaking view. The room was quiet, comfortable, and equipped with a mini refrigerator and an espresso coffee pot. The breakfast served was delicious, with a mixed fruit salad and a home-cooked vegan gluten-free beans, rice, and veggies delight. The lodge grounds were well-maintained, with luscious tropical plants and stone walkways. The lodge also provided bikes for guests to use, making it easier to explore the nearby beaches.
One downside was the distance from the lodge to the main town and the nearest beach. It was a bit further than described, about a 25-minute walk.

The hotel had a beautiful view of the beach. The room was clean and comfortable, with an espresso maker that I absolutely loved. The staff, especially John, went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and were extremely helpful.
The hotel's restaurant was closed during my visit, which would have been convenient for dinner. Additionally, some amenities were missing, like a hairdryer and bedside lamps for reading, which was a bit inconvenient.
