Santa Teresa Spa Hotels

"Exceeded my expectations. Room massive, two seperate bedrooms, lots of storage and an amazing front deck. Room was a bit worn, but was cozy, clean and unpretentious.I loved staying here and coming back here to relax. Many thoughtful details were added like the water in the fridge, the ability to bring food/plates/cups back from the restaurant to eat, and taps outside the deck to rinse sand off. The airconditioning was a life saver. We were on the beach-not much of a view but easy access.We could hear the waves. There were howler monkeys in the trees over our bungalow. Parking was right near us in a gated section-Felt safe. Morning breakfast was yummy and good value considering it was included in our stay. There were two options of eggs, toast and fruit or a Costa Rica Traditional Breakfast. Coffee and Orange juice was included but you had to ask to get both. It was served right on the beach which was magical. We ate at the onsite restaurant many times. Most times it was a hit- the fish was fresh and very well prepared, the portion sizes huge. The pool was a nice size and enjoyable. Sadly didn't get a chance to get to the yoga class as hoped, but did book in for a massage- one of the best I've had. Easy waking to the main strip for restaurants and shops. Security walk around at night, discreetly. Felt safe. HAPPILY will return. Cons: Shower head would clog with sand (We just took it off. Good pressure and heat, no issues). Pebbled trails on property-not easy on bare feet!"
