Pros:

Très bon emplacement à deux pas de la plage. Hôtel au calme, avec une piscine très agréable. Très bon accueil du personnel. Parking sur et gardé. Une bonne adresse dans cette ville un peu débridée.....

Cons:

Bonne literie mais oreillers un peu dur. Manque peut être une salle de petit déjeuner... Mais il est servi au bungalow..

Too expensive for what they offer
Pros:

Location is right on La Lora surf break
Big room

Cons:

Sheets were dirty, had to ask the staff to change them, they said the stains are sunscreen that won’t wash off. The first guy at the reception was impatient.

Wirklich schönes kleines Hotel in einem leider sehr überlaufenen Ort
Pros:

Sehr schönes eigenes kleines Häuschen mit AC und Kühlschrank sowie netter Terasse. Sehr gutes Frühstück wurde direkt auf der eigenen Terasse serviert. Kurzer Fußweg zum Strand, etwas am Rande von ST

Paradijs!
Pros:

Dit was echt een paradijsje! Prachtige ruime kamer met een mega douche. Een prachtig zwembad in een super mooie onderhouden tuin. De apen klauteren in de boom en je zit nog geen 5 minuten lopen van het strand van Santa Teresa af. Hele behulpzame receptie ook.

Cons:

Echt helemaal niks!!

Pros:

The location of this hotel was perfect - out of the "downtown" fray but close to several excellent restaurants and right across the street from beach access. Our room was enough off the street that we heard no street noise. Our room abutted the pool and we had breakfast delivered a couple of mornings that we enjoyed on the patio - the first morning with at least 30 monkeys traveling by in the trees. The breakfast was large, delicious, and economical. Three friends shared this space with a king bed and an extra mattress. This provided room and comfort for all of us.

Cons:

Truly we could not have asked for a better vacation stay.

Vale absolutamente la pena
Pros:

Todo en general era muy bonito, hecho con mucho gusto. La ducha es muy bonita y los bungalows muy espaciosos. El servicio de desayuno es fabuloso, muy puntual. Los trabajadores fueron muy amables y atentos, tienen pensados todos los detalles: sillas de playa, toallas para la playa o piscina, nevera portátil para la playa, etc.

Cons:

No hay mosquiteras en las ventanas lo que te obliga a encender el aire acondicionado todo el rato, ya que hace mucho calor en Santa Teresa.
La limpieza de la piscina - el agua no estaba limpia.

Dikke aanrader voor Santa Teresa
Pros:

Het personeel is top! We hadden een heerlijke “villa” vlakbij het zwembad. Ontbijt werd elke ochtend op afgesproken tijd naar je huisje gebracht. Prachtige tuin met grote kans op het spotten van brulapen, kapucijnapen, vele mooie vogels, grote leguanen en kolibries. Oh ja en vergeet de twee lieve huiskatten niet.

Net buiten het centrum van Santa Teresa. Vlakbij het strand, supermarkt en leuke restaurants. Dit hotel is echt een dikke 10 waard. Aanrader!

Cons:

Helemaal nix
