Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience ★★★★★

📍 de, Main Street, Santa Teresa, Carmen

"From the moment I arrived, I knew this boutique hotel was something special. The atmosphere blends elegance and comfort effortlessly — every detail feels personal and thoughtfully designed. The staff were genuinely warm, anticipating needs before I even asked, and the room itself was a perfect mix of modern luxury and cozy charm. The breakfast was exquisite, featuring fresh, local ingredients beautifully presented. It’s rare to find a place that feels both refined and deeply relaxing — a true gem that makes you wish you could stay just a little longer."

Banana Beach Bungalows ★★★

📍 Banana Beach, 1km north of the crossroads at the entrance of town, Puntarenas Province, Santa Teresa, Carmen

"The room is very simple, quite sadly furnished and dirty. The general assistance is quite poor due to the limited. Be carefull to organize activities with them cause they will charge you more money just to keep something for themselves. The Banana Beach Club is very bad. The worst drinks I had in all Costa Rica. Staff very improfessional!!!!"

"We had a great experience at this kosher restaurant in Santa Teresa. The food was really good, fresh, and well prepared, with generous portions. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was very kind and attentive. It’s not always easy to find good kosher food in this area, so this place was a wonderful surprise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tasty kosher meal and friendly service in Santa Teresa."

Zula Inn Aparthotel ★★

📍 Province, Cobano, Carmen

"I can't recommend this place enough. Clean, comfortable, quiet and the perfect location. Nicely landscaped cabins around a beautiful pool, set back far enough from the road that there's no noise or dust. Surf is a short walk across the street. Zula Inn is operated by the most wonderful family who made us feel right at home and were available for any questions or to help with whatever we needed. The staff is wonderful, the cabins are large and airy with a great private deck. A great value for your money as well. Thank you guys so much for an amazing stay."

Nautilus Surf & Yoga Villas Santa Teresa ★★★
"We stayed in casita no.1 and we are located next to the street and the front door to the hotel. The noise is the issue coming from with 4wheeler ATV and pick-up trucks constantly zig zagging and making a carnage of noise on the street adjacent to our bedroom from what a what peaceful setting this could have been! The other HUGE issue is the front door of the hotel LOUD SLAMMING from morning to late evening. We couldn’t use the hamac for relaxation as there’s no escaping the loudness banging as we are 10feet from door and road. The DOGS ´BARKING & HOWLING will drive you insane troughout the nite and early morning The DUST from the road makes it’s way into our casita no.1 This was an ordeal …. We asked to be moved but we’re told that they were full but I noticed new arrivals constantly. Otherwise…. In the other casitas , I’m sure it is better…. Loved the staff… the pool and proximity of everything around. Pura Vida ! Maybe not at casita no.1"

Banana Beach Bungalows ★★★
"This is not a relaxing hotel, but instead a loud party hostel with budget facilities: Music noise - the Banana Beach Club plays very loud music from the afternoon to 10pm which vibrates throughout the room. We were also woken up several times in the early by parties on the beach. You will get very limited sleep staying here. Pool - Most days non-guests use the pool, including loud and rude kids, and on one occasion a kid forced their dog into the pool. Generally it is very dated and very little care is taken in tidiness. Noise from the generators next to pool is constant. Reception - no fixed reception service as a hotel would typically have - one person is available at a “reception” kiosk room between 9am and 4pm. Any assistance needed outside these hours is made via WhatsApp so is not instant. Also we had a power cut for water and electricity on our second day, so could not receive updates as the WiFi was unavailable. Restaurant - the restaurant and hotel are completely separate, apart from the breakfast being complementary for guests, and this is unclear from the website as we only found out upon arrival. This means guests can’t freely use the beach loungers or set up a room tab for food/drinks. No explanation of breakfast, timings - got there at 7am only to be told it starts at 8am so we missed this several times from leaving early for tours/transfer etc. Room - No kettle, coffee machine but no powdered milk/crema. Fridge outside (not in room) and doesn’t open properly as gets caught by the cupboard door latch - kitchen light very dim so difficult to see. Only one bedside table so had to leave belongings on the floor. No clothes hangers or even hooks."

Ventura Santa Teresa ★★★
"This hotel generally gets good reviews but we were surprised and underwhelmed. Our biggest concern was the size - the rooms are very small, almost uncomfortable. It felt like we were staying in a college dorm room. It was very tight for two people, and certainly not romantic or comfortable for a couple’s stay. We did not enjoy sleeping in a bunk bed. With that said, the room was new, clean and had everything we needed. There’s also a restaurant on-site and a tiny pool. It’s basically like a hostel. Heads-up that’s its on the southern end of Santa Teresa and we felt a bit isolated. I might recommend looking for a place about a mile/km north, more towards the center. But there is a grocery store right across the street, and also laundry and a few coffee shops. It’s nice that this hotel is new, but again the rooms are very small and uncomfortable. I imagine it’s hard to find luxurious places in this small beach town without paying a fortune. If you’re looking for something nice, I would probably avoid Santa Teresa altogether."

Zula Inn Aparthotel ★★
"Fabulous self contained bungalows, set back from the main road so nice and quiet. Lovely pool area that we managed to make use of, even with the torrential downpour we were unlucky to have every night! Great for wildlife spotting, we had an armadillo visit us 2 nights and spotted our first toucans! Really comfy hammock :)"

Hotel Ritmo Tropical - Pool and Breakfast ★★★
"The Ritmo Tropical Hotel in Costa Rica is a hidden gem amid exuberant tropical nature. My experience at this hotel was absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to return. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly and attentive staff who gave me a warm welcome. I was pleasantly surprised by the design and decoration of the hotel. It is clear that much attention has been paid to detail to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The room I stayed in was spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It had all the amenities you could want, including a comfortable bed, and air conditioning. The hotel restaurant offers delicious local and international food. Every morning I enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast with a wide selection of fresh and tasty dishes. In addition, the hotel pool is perfect for relaxing in the sun and enjoying a refreshing cocktail."

Dreamcatcher Hotel - Live the Dream of Santa Teresa ★★★
"We were with family and friends. We took 5 rooms in the new building factory should be the most beautiful! . The rooms have no place to extend the bathroom suit, there is no air conditioning, if you take the rooms on the ground floor they smell wet dark at a disproportionate cost, and the breakfast is low if you come late and nothing comes back. The good location only the but most beautiful the Saint Teresa area more north of the beach I don't recommend it."
