très bon séjour sur la plage
Pros:

très bel hôtel sur la plage
tres bien placé dans le centre
personnel gentil et efficace

Cons:

pas grand chose mais je précise quand même que le bungalow plage avec piscine mériterait plus d'intimité
on se voit entre voisin ....
le prix excessif mais au Costa Rica et surtout à Santa Teresa tout est cher!

Prachtig hotel aan het strand
Pros:

Prachtig hotel aan het strand gelegen. De tuin met zwembad, wellness en yoga waren heel mooi aangelegd.
De kamer en badkamer waren zeer ruim, stijlvol en voorzien van een balkon.
Het volledig personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Je kon ook via het hotel allerlei activiteiten/bezichtigingen boeken.

Cons:

niets

Fenomenaal romantisch bijkomen
Pros:

De privacy in een schitterende omgeving. Geweldige vrijstaande bungalow. Heerlijk ontbijt op het strand. Diner uitstekend. Alles klopt op deze plek.

Cons:

De beachclub naast Natipa heeft op dinsdagavond een sunset BBQ en een luide DJ tot na 21:00 uur.
Bij verkeerde wind komt de rook en muziek je tegemoet. Advies. Ga dan naar de beachclub en enjoy daar de vibe ;-)

Un véritable coin de paradis, parfait pour se relaxer et chiller
Pros:

Les bungalow côté océan sont exceptionnels. Avoir les pieds dans le sable toute la journée procure un réel sentiment de bien être. L’ambiance est apaisante, chill et on profite de merveilleux couchers de soleil. Le coin piscine est superbe, le restaurant très bon, la plage de Santa Teresa est accessible en 5-10min à pied. Un vrai coin de paradis où l’on côtoie des iguanes :)

Cons:

Rien. Tout était très bien. Simplement une salle de sport ferait la difference. Le petit déjeuner pourrait aussi être amélioré

Nice Place
Pros:

Great Hotel in every possible way. We loved the service (thanks Salvador!), the accomodations, the location, and the food/drinks.

Cons:

It's really pricey for what you get. Dont' get me wrong; it's a really fine place, and we loved our room. But when you compare it to other $600 p/nite places, it's not exactly a deal. It's important to note the context; Santa Teresa is overall very expensive, and really the most expensive area in Costa Rica.

You can't swim in the ocean right in front of the resort since it's all rock. So you always need to go up or down the beach to get to a swimable/surfable location.

Easy & schön!
Pros:

Einfach alles!
Wir hatten einen kleinen Bungalow und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Schöne Poolnlage und gleichzeitig direkt am Strand, an dem man wunderbar spazieren gehen kann.
Tolle Sonnenuntergangs-Location ohne die billige Happy Hour Atmosphäre.
Das Restaurant ist super zu allen Mahlzeiten.
Für uns war alles perfekt.
