Séjour dans un petit havre de paix au cœur de la cohue de Santa Teresa
Pros:

- un petit havre de paix au milieu de la cohue de Santa Teresa
- la décoration épurée
- la chambre grande et agréable
- les éclairages agréables
- le petit déjeuner préparé sous vos yeux
- la jolie petite piscine fraîche

Cons:

- En fait, les prestations sont plus celle d’un bed & breakfast que d’un hôtel :
pas de service minimum : c’est dommage de ne pas pouvoir prendre un verre (même pas d’eau gazeuse) au bord de la piscine ou une bière avant de partir dîner.
Pas de possibilité de dîner ni de grignoter quoique ce soit non plus, à part si vous allez acheter des choses au supermarché. Vous pouvez les garder dans un réfrigérateur sur place

- le bruit : l’hôtel est petit et au bord de la route très passante. Il y a donc toujours du bruit. En plus il y a de la musique (peu forte, cependant) toute la journée dans l’hôtel.

Great hotel and location
Pros:

Location and private parking were amazing. Great breakfast and although there was some language barrier, hosting was fantastic.

Cons:

Although not in samara teresa to watch television, it was so dysfunctional it may as well have not been there.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely amazing, and the place itself is charming and beautifully maintained. Everything was very clean, and you can really feel the attention to detail.

The staff were all lovely, but a special thank you to Carmel, the owner, who was incredibly helpful, attentive, and kind throughout our stay. He truly made us feel welcome and taken care of.

We enjoyed every moment there, and the breakfast was fantastic — something we genuinely looked forward to each morning.
Highly recommended, and we would be very happy to return in the future.

Realmente increíble y completa la estadía en ARJAU 😍
Pros:

Realmente el alojamiento de ARJAU en Santa Teresa. Lo que más me gustó fue en primer lugar la ubicación del hotel, realmente en el corazón de todo. En segundo lugar la limpieza y orden, siempre estaba todo impecable, la pieza te la hacían y hasta te dejaban olor a limpio, un agrado!! En tercer lugar los anfitriones lo Máximo, Carmel el dueño muy preocupado y atento constantemente a ver si necesitábamos algo o en que nos podía ayudar. Realmente bueno todo el servicio, lo volvería a elegir y a recomendar mil veces. 😍😍😍

Cons:

Nada, todo perfecto.

ottima perla per medio/brevi soggiorni
Pros:

é stata una magnifica scoperta in Santa Teresa non essendo abituato a soggiornare in strutture BnB a gestione familiare. Ambiente da Hotel boutique, finemente allestito e curato. Servizi superiori alla categoria e struttura ineccepibile. Staff cordiale e presente ma con una gestione piu da resort che da bnb. I miei complimenti da viaggiatore a Carmel e Pat! Prezzo in linea con il mercato locale.

Cons:

consiglierei l aggiunta di un frigo bar nelle camere e magari una tv!

Perfekter Aufenthalt für Paare
Pros:

Tolles Hotel im Herzen von Santa Teresa. Wunderschöne Architektur (von Carmel selbst designed), riesige Zimmer mit einer schönen Einrichtung. Gerade das Badezimmer ist herrlich riesig mit viel Platz für zwei Personen. Alles auch super sauber und gepflegt, sowohl die Zimmer als auch der Garten mit Pool. Obwohl die Lage so zentral ist (direkt vor der Tür sind Restaurants, Surf Shops, Bars, Cafes und Zugänge zu zwei Stränden) war es unfassbar ruhig im Zimmer, obwohl ich einen sehr leichten Schlaf habe und sonst immer wach werde. Hier habe ich mich sehr gut erholt und wäre gern länger geblieben :) Der Strand ist auch wunderschön!

Größter Pluspunkt: Das Frühstück ist der Wahnsinn, das beste Rührei, das ich (jemals) gegessen habe - wow! Frische Zutaten, viel Auswahl.

Schön ist auch, dass immer jemand in der Unterkunft ist - so haben wir zB auch einen Surflehrer empfohlen bekommen, der wirklich auf unserer ganzen Reise der Beste war (Luis, fragt nach ihm wenn ihr Interesse am Surfen habt).

Kann dieses Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
