Una hermosa aventura de 3 dias con mi pareja en busqueda de paz y tranquilidad en santa teresa
Pros:

habitacion limpia y su amplitud en todo desde cama hasta el baño con buen desayuno pero poca cantidad de alimentos para un costaricense

Cons:

excelente todo pero el aire acondicionado necesita mantenimiento o cambio ya que no es fuerte y cuesta mucho que enfrie la habitacion
Tambien hay una piezas de ceramica quebradas en la habitacion 5 que deben de cambiar por seguridad ya que estan sueltas donde uno se pone de pie en ellas

The hotel is a peaceful oasis, but close enough to the energy of Santa Teresa.
Pros:

Breakfast on your porch in the mornings were so great. Wildlife in the trees around you. Close beach access.

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.
