Sunshine Sanctuary

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing hidden gem in the jungle! I felt so lucky to have an ocean view, yoga studio, salt water pool, free breakfast, and access to a waterfall and hanging bridge!! Absolutely incredible fir the price especially!"

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, small and basic hotel so do not expect any special amenities (like gym) but there is a pool, which we used extensively. It’s is located very close to the beach in Carmen, restaurants and shops. They only serve breakfast there but it was good. Staff was amazing and very helpful (especially David, Luis and Astrid), there was a problem with AC but this issue was resolved promptly and professionally. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time in Santa Teresa by The Beach."

Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best resort I’ve ever stayed at. I cannot wait to come back. I am already thinking about it. The location, the beach, the pool, the staff, the restaurant was absolutely amazing. I never experienced anything like it. The room was beautiful and spacious and very very clean. The housekeeping did an amazing job with keeping it clean during my stay. Once again, cannot wait to return!"

Banana Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my stay at Banana Beach in Santa Teresa! 🌴🌊✨ Such an incredible place with the most amazing vibes, beautiful energy, and a relaxed, tropical atmosphere. Everything about it captures the magic of Costa Rica. The beach, the ambiance, the people, and the overall experience made my stay truly special. A little slice of paradise filled with pura vida energy! 🦋🌺☀️ Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! 🤍✨"

Ocio Villas Mal Pais

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the Estrella room, it was beyond beautiful. Long scenic walk to the room, kitchenette, and filtered water in the full sized fridge. Staff was very kind and helpful, since the hotel was 6 hours from SJO we had to leave at 4 am and to our surprise there was a staff member there to assist with checkout. There are no key drop-boxes, so I was worried about how we were going to return it. Overall an amazing stay."

MarAmar Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"La ubicación y la seguridad son excepcionales. Una excelente propiedad. Definitivamente volveré, varias veces"

Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Tango Mar. The owner always greeted us each day to see how we were or how our day was. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! I took advantage of the spa and had an incredible massage. Gorgeous views of the ocean right out your window and the multiple pools to cool off in with the heat. Swimming beaches were a short drive away if you wanted to swim in the ocean."

Fuego Lodge

8/10 Good

"Staff was great! Loved the place, super homey and comfortable. Great locale as well."

Surfside Apartments Playa Mar Azul

10/10 Excellent
