Hotels near Mal País Surf Spot in Malpais

Our stay at the resort was wonderful. The owner was personally involved and met with the customers. Food was excellent and the staff was very helpful. The facilities were fair, rooms and bathrooms need upgrades. Room service was hard to order. The roads need to be fixed, paving the Main road into the resort would make driving to the facility easier.

I spent a month in Costa Rica and Panama in January 2024, using Selina all the time. Santa Teresa South was my first stop. Now being able to compare all, I would say this one was okay, but others were better (Puerto Viejo was way better). The biggest difference as a solo traveler is the effort they make to socialise. The Welcome Drink here was me and the receptionist! At other places you were put onto a newbies table and then natural chats started... and you could go for welcome drinks every day. Not here. Santa Teresa is great. If you want to do Selina, stay at ST North. More fun, more social. South is almost all private rooms, so families and couples. But my biggest complaint was a tour I paid over £100 for the 'Cabo Blanco Beach & Forest (Full Hike)', described in their slick literature as 'our guide will show you the wonders of the forest until you reach Caboe Blanco beach, a pardisical white sandy beach where you can enjoy quiet waters for swimming, sunbathing or simply to enjoy the striking view of Cabo Blanco island'... There was no beach. The guide said we had no time and could either rush there and back or enjoy the forest. He also insisted we pay entry to the national park when I confirmed afterwards that this was supposed to be included in the hefty up-front fee. It's clear Selina is not running these tours, even though they word them as if they are. I was encouraged by Juan the manager of Santa Teresa South that he would arrange a refund for me. I would have been happy with a partial refund. But since leaving, I have been ghosted by him in our WhatsApp conversation. I have emailed Selina contacts and had no reply. And posting a complaing on their website give an 'Ooops' error and doesn't allow the complaint to be posted. Go to Selina's, they are good, they are especially good for wifi and working. Don't book their tours. Go direct to the tour companies, save some money, and perhaps have a better chance of being sold what you are going to get. Disappointed.

This is the third time we have stayed in nYa, and once again we loved it. Great comfort, great service, nature all around, peace and balance. Thank you to all involved in making nYa such a great --and safe-- place to spend our holidays. And, of course, the food is perfect. What a treat for breakfast a la carte to be included in the room rate. Please try Keylor at Ubin's smoked salmon (out of this world!). We hope to be back soon.

I booked two nights and ended up staying a week and a half. Felt so comfortable and welcome by the amazing staff and the serene atmosphere , just a five minutes walk from the rather noisy and dusty northern center of Santa Teresa. The hotel is centered around a lovely pool, where guests can make friends with other guests, surrounded by beautiful lush tropical gardens with squirrels, plenty of birds, and howler monkeys hanging in the trees high above. Rooms are clean and cool with A/C and most also have ceiling fans. The decor and amenities vary between the different room types. I recommend the rooms with 2 queen beds by the pool, they are the most modern. Breakfast is good, although not very big (which is what I prefer) and you can chose from about 7 different choices ranging from typical tico, or omletts , pancakes, fruit & yogurt to my favorite french toasts. Beach access is about a 10 mins walk, at the Selina North, with incredible very powerful surf (in season). Close by good restaurants include Eat Street, Somos Cafe further north, the local Pura Vida soda for typical food. Super Ronny#2 for groceries is very close and is open till late. My favorite think about the hotel is the friendly staff, who are happily to assist with anything. They are all lovely especially Ampi and Thomas at the front desk and the manager Barbara. Will definitely be back :)
