Best hotel in Santa Teresa by far. Incredible location, amazing food, drinks and service. Rooms and facilities are A++. The last time we received this level of service was in the JW Marriot at Shanghai (and Nantipa’s was even better than the JW!).

I write this review partly because of one exceptional staff member who deserves a very special shout out. Christian who led the dining area was simply excellent. Without casting too much of a shadow over the rest of the team, it simply wasn’t as slick and attentive when he was not on duty. The hotel should be proud of him. We chose the Nantipa as we wanted a small, quality hotel on the west coast. I have travelled globally and the hotel was one of the best beach side hotels I have been too. Rare and true praise. As others have said - get a beach side villa, our room was Ninta 1. The last in a row of 5, furthest from the dining room and had the sunniest patio. The food in the restaurant was good across all meals - good choice, very high quality. We could not fault the restaurant- not that I wanted too. Good options in town, Santa Teresa too.

Beautiful location right on the beach. Fabulous pool and clean rooms . I enjoyed our stay but wish there had been more choice in food. Staff were helpful. Downside was going into the town road and pavement dangerous especially at night ! But good choice of restaurants. Banana beach bar food was outstanding , turning left out of the hotel down the beach . We needed a packed breakfast as early start, I understand we had to catch the ferry and a three hour journey but two bread rolls with two shrivelled lettuce leaves, one slice or tomato and a tiny spread of cheese wasn’t inspiring. And an orange juice . Was dropped off at airport SIX Hours before a 10 hrs flight ! Not fun, San Jose Airport has one cafe with awful food no fresh salads , processed food. No seats . Upstairs a coffee machine and that’s it !! So maybe plan your journey if you need healthy food . I would stay again knowing a few restaurants outside and they did have fabulous breakfast and lunch. Dinner was expensive for the quality of food .

The property was fabulous and every staff member was friendly and very attentive to our needs. Everything you need is right there and a short walk to additional restaurants and shops! We ended every day with a beautiful sunset at the beachfront villa!

Nantipa is a gorgeous resort nestled in the jungle with private suites scattered throughout. Daily we saw wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas and various birds like parakeets. Suites are well appointed with indoor/outdoor showers, nano doors open to a private plunge pool and hammock lounging area. There is a lovely yoga area to start your day. The Manzu restaurant is not to be missed, with fresh locally sourced farm to table ingredients. Shout out to the professional staff, Maikol, Jose, Danny making our stay pleasant. The restaurant is the place to be at sunset with low tables and beanbags type furnishings, a perfect place to watch the setting sun with a cocktail in hand. Only negative would be the beach area directly in front of the resort is rocky and not ideal for swimming, having said that a couple minute walk in either direction is good for that. It is a big surfing beach in which you can walk for miles. The town has several good restaurants within walking distance as well. Highly recommend Nantipa for a relaxing getaway.

Superb location directly on the beach. Perfect for sunset cocktails and dinner while enjoying the most amazing views! Service was excellent as was the food. Best fresh ceviche I’ve had in years! Owned and operated by Costa Ricans. Music at the beach restaurant created the perfect vibe to chill, relax with friends, enjoy food and drinks, and truly absorb the Pura Vida!

Our stay at Nantipa was top rated with excellent accommodation, great service all around and enjoyable sunsets at the beach without leaving the property. The property allows you to see wildlife right outside from your room window. I highly recommend this place to rest and recharge.

I traveled to Nantipa with a group of friends in the travel industry, who definitely are familiar with what makes a hotel great. We had countless conversations about how much we were loving our experience at Nantipa. The sunset beach vibe every evening is such a highlight. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The food is a "wow" at the restaurant, and the staff are so passionate and good at what they do. I definitely would recommend anyone to stay here, especially if you want to be right on the beach.
