Great lodging in Santa Teresa for a chill stay!
Pros:

Great location - 5 min walk to the beach and the main street but just far enough to be quiet. Also enjoyed having the pool and BodyKult Pilates steps away from our room!

Cons:

Pool could have been maintained better - missing tiles and needed to be skimmed throughout the day more frequently would have been nice.

Muy agradable, cómoda, buena atención, volveríamos. ❤️
Pros:

Que era amplia, que cumplía con todo lo que decía en la descripción, tostadora, cafetera, toallas, etc. El lugar está penado para que pases una buena estadía. La cama era cómoda, el baño espacioso y limpio, el espacio exterior estaba muy bien, a nosotros nos tocó una villa silenciosa, era la número 4.
Cerca de la playa, supermercado, restaurantes, etc.

Cons:

Dentro del predio dictan clases de yoga y otras actividades, las personas que van ocupan las cocheras con los cuatriciclos no dejándole lugar a las personas que nos hospedamos. Nos parece que estaría bueno que la prioridad la tengan la personas que eligen hospedarse en el lugar.

Pros:

I loved my stay here and will definitely come back again! Great location steps away from everything you need, but just off the main strip so it’s much quieter. The staff was really helpful with other things I needed to book and organize during my stay.

Warm Weather, calm Hostel, relaxing place and peaceful mind.
Pros:

Great place, very near the beach, super market, etc... a bit expensive tho, but everything is expansive in Santa Teressa. The Yoga classes were great, the room was big, the bed was not confortable tho, very "Springny". But the staff was kind to provide a Crib for my 21 months old boy. Would recommend.

Cons:

The bed needs to be more confortable. I would love to have more "events" in the hostel, for small family. I feel like they put a lot more energy on Believe Yoga and Surf and less in Nautilus.

Don’t miss out on this dream apartment
Pros:

The only reason I’m giving 5 stars, is because 7 is the unavailable. Big, spacious, well lit apartment, well designed and super comfortable and beautiful. Great location. Fantastic staff. Amazing wibe. Unusual value for money. The only place I was really sad to leave.

Cons:

That I couldn’t stay longer

Relaxing and confortable stay right next to the beach
Pros:

Small, quite and well equiped villa-appartments right at the good spot of Santa Teresa Beach. The street has direct access to the beach and you can walk to all shops and restaurants. A swimming pool great for chilling out in the warmest hours of the day. You cab you all the facicities from their sister hotel just further on the street where they offer excepcional surfing classes and a vast choice of yoga classes. Super friendly staff!

Cons:

It can be quite adventurous to park your car infront of the hotel due to the steep dirt road. Do recommend a 4x4 car to explore the surroundings of Sta. Teresa.

Great villa concept stay when ready
Pros:

The setting of the villas and common space is great; feels private and safe. The villa itself is spacious, well equipped, nice decor and style.Liked the pool area - perfect little oasis.

Cons:

The villa & the whole property has nice standards, apart from the synthetic bed sheets! If I knew I have to sleep on polyester in a tropical environment , I would bring my own cotton sheet!!!
Parking - limited&quite tricky on uneven steep road. Also the parking is outside and no safety guaranteed.
Loud, ongoing construction- I know they were getting ready for the high season but it felt disappointing and disrespectful to those guests staying now and still paying!

Erholsamer Aufenthalt in der privaten ruhigen Villa

Optimale Lage außerhalb der Straße aber in 5 Minuten zum Strand.
Bungalows sind sehr groß und super ausgestattet. Der Pool war sehr sauber und eine gute Abwechslung zum Strand.

Cons:

Nichts auszusetzen

Good location for beach access
Pros:

We stayed here for a few nights and enjoyed the location. The pool was a great asset and the staff were very friendly. The rooms were a little bit more basic than the photos depicted but the overall space was still comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor patio area.

Wonderful
Pros:

I gave this place 5 stars only because 6 wasn’t an option. There was nothing more the owner and staff could have done to make the stay more pleasant. Including allowing us to stay another day by rearranging rooms and even offering to move different beds into our room to accommodate us.

Cons:

Nothing
