Horizon Hotel & Yoga Center ★★★★

"we spent a week in the horizon horel and enjoyed the time very much. The cabins are very clean and well furnished. The atmosphere is wonderful, with warm little things the guest will be shown to be welcome. Yoga on the wonderful deck was great and places always prepared. We didn't miss anything. Thank you very much!"

Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience ★★★★★

"Nantipa in Santa Teresa is truly remarkable. The resort offers a rare combination of best-in-class food, location, and ambiance. Every detail — from the open-air design to the lush, retreat-like landscaping — creates a sense of calm seclusion while still being steps away from Santa Teresa’s vibrant energy. During our stay, we enjoyed both massages and surf instruction — and both experiences were fantastic. The spa treatments were deeply relaxing, and our surf guide was patient, fun, and made the lessons one of the highlights of our trip. What stood out most was how effortlessly Nantipa balances high-profile luxury with complete privacy. You can disappear into their beautifully designed grounds, yet still enjoy world-class dining and service that feels both personal and natural. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how travel should feel — restorative, inspiring, and unforgettable"

Ventura Santa Teresa ★★★

"After hiking in Monteverde, it was time to relax. We came to the perfect place! The atmosphere is great, the pool is nice, the hangout upstairs and downstairs really chill. We even got an upgrade. How nice, thank you so much! Our room was amazing, with a lovely small kitchen, the first time in 2 weeks we cooked, supermarket is in front of the hotel. The beach is as well nearby, so I went twice surfing with a board of the hotel. Thanks again 🥰! The restaurant next door is awesome! Definitely recommend the hotel and the restaurant! And of course the staff, you're great!!!"

Surf Paradise ★★★

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach ★★★

Vista del Alma Boutique - Adult Only ★★★

"We spent three nights at Vista del Alma Boutique Resort – and from start to finish, it was a truly memorable stay. The road to the hotel is quite steep, but manageable with a 4x4 SUV – and the breathtaking views more than make up for the adventurous drive. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with a local team that spoke perfect English and offered plenty of helpful recommendations and support. We felt truly cared for from the moment we arrived. We had reserved an Oceanview Villa, and it was absolutely stunning – beautifully designed, modern, spotlessly clean, and with an incredible view over the ocean. The sunsets were unreal. As a lovely welcome, we received a bottle of wine and two fresh local juices – a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. Breakfast could be enjoyed either in-room or at the on-site restaurant. We tried both – and having breakfast on the terrace with that view was simply magical. The restaurant staff were warm and friendly, and the breakfast itself was extensive, delicious, and customizable. For the quality and variety offered, the value for price was excellent. We also took part in the on-site yoga class, which was beginner-friendly and came with a truly serene view of the ocean – a peaceful, grounding experience. Since you’re in the middle of the jungle, it’s worth noting that leaving the door open for even a minute can invite some insects inside – but that’s to be expected in this kind of natural setting, and it didn’t bother us much. The only small downside: parking and access can be tricky. The drive is very steep, and parking requires confident driving skills and a proper 4x4 vehicle. Final verdict: A stunning boutique resort with heart, style, and soul. If you’re looking for privacy, luxury, and a deep connection to nature – all with unforgettable ocean views – this is the place. We’d absolutely come back."

Aduana House ★★★

Laloon Luxury Suites - Adults Only ★★★★★

"Our experience at Laloon Luxury Suites was exceptional. The staff exhibited the utmost professionalism, treating us as VIPs. Our group of friends thoroughly relished every moment. The attentive staff ensures a seamless and indulgent stay. I will highly recommend this hotel."

Zula Inn Aparthotel ★★

"Fabulous self contained bungalows, set back from the main road so nice and quiet. Lovely pool area that we managed to make use of, even with the torrential downpour we were unlucky to have every night! Great for wildlife spotting, we had an armadillo visit us 2 nights and spotted our first toucans! Really comfy hammock :)"
