Ruhige Unterkunft im quirligen Santa Teresa
Pros:

Die Lage ist großartig. 3 min vom Strand entfernt, direkt an der „Hauptstraße“ und doch sehr ruhig. Tolle FS dauerhaft auf die eigene Terrasse. Schöner Pool. Kostenloses Trinkwasser in der Rezeption zum abfüllen in eigene Flaschen.

Cons:

Nichts

Amazing honeymoon
Pros:

Very spacious for 2, very clean, big shower. The gave us a cool-bag for some drinks at the beach and some chairs + towels for the beach. The sun sets in the sea, so that's a great bonus at the end of the day. We where on our honeymoon and had an amazing stay, it wasn't cheap, but worth it.

Cons:

The "town" is a long and lively road, but.. long. So keep that in mind. Bikes, quads are an easy and mainly used way to travel there

Bra läge, fint hotellrum med fina omgivningar
Pros:

Poolen och vårt boende låg väl skyddat från vägen, så det var tyst och stilla. Vi hade utsikt mot poolen och gillade verkligen stället. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Hade bra samarbetspartners för surf och ATV. Bästa stranden låg nära och många bra restauranger

Cons:

Det enda vi saknade var någonstans att hänga våta badkläder etc. Allt var blött hela tiden

We had a wonderful time and definitely will be back.
Pros:

The property is beautiful, there are monkeys all above you in the trees around 6:00 am and then they leave around 7, it’s nice to wake up and watch them, beach access is right across the street and the hotel provides beach chairs and coolers in each room. If you book directly through the hotel the include complementary breakfast every morning, straight to your room. If you do not it’s a 10 dollar fee but well worth it as the breakfast is delicious.

Perfect beachfront location
Pros:

The location is exceptional you simply cross the road and Santa Teresa Beach is right in front of you. Breakfast at Gula was excellent, and having El Facon next door for dinner was very convenient. The staff are incredible and genuinely helpful. The room is very spacious, and the hammock on the terrace invites you to sit back, relax, and unwind.

Cons:

My room was located next to the public kitchen where breakfast is served to guests, as well as the public restroom by the pool. This made the room quite noisy in the mornings and, as a light sleeper, I was often woken up earlier than expected. Aside from this, everything else was perfect.
