"Property is amazing and private. The beach access is great as well as the surf. WiFi was fast and much needed since the areas cell signal is abysmal. Roy was great with the check in process and making sure we were updated prior to arriving. Heads up, make sure you’ve got WhatsApp installed prior to arriving. Seems to be the best means of communication with the property. Plenty of restaurants and bodegas within walking distance. We’ll definitely stay again when we return to Santa Teresa."

"This villa was perfect for what we wanted...a quiet, secure and private place that is in walking distance to the beach. After touring the town, we were very happy with the location for the proximity to great restaurants, a local convenience store and a little less crowded beach than some of the spots to the north. Our concierge was very helpful and responsive with anything we needed and the villa itself was great...just as the pictures show. Wishing we were still there!"

Top Malpais Hotel Reviews

Believe Surf & Yoga Lodge Santa Teresa - Hostel

8/10 Good

"It was fine, great experience"

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, small and basic hotel so do not expect any special amenities (like gym) but there is a pool, which we used extensively. It’s is located very close to the beach in Carmen, restaurants and shops. They only serve breakfast there but it was good. Staff was amazing and very helpful (especially David, Luis and Astrid), there was a problem with AC but this issue was resolved promptly and professionally. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time in Santa Teresa by The Beach."

Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best resort I’ve ever stayed at. I cannot wait to come back. I am already thinking about it. The location, the beach, the pool, the staff, the restaurant was absolutely amazing. I never experienced anything like it. The room was beautiful and spacious and very very clean. The housekeeping did an amazing job with keeping it clean during my stay. Once again, cannot wait to return!"

Banana Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my stay at Banana Beach in Santa Teresa! 🌴🌊✨ Such an incredible place with the most amazing vibes, beautiful energy, and a relaxed, tropical atmosphere. Everything about it captures the magic of Costa Rica. The beach, the ambiance, the people, and the overall experience made my stay truly special. A little slice of paradise filled with pura vida energy! 🦋🌺☀️ Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! 🤍✨"

Ocio Villas Mal Pais

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the Estrella room, it was beyond beautiful. Long scenic walk to the room, kitchenette, and filtered water in the full sized fridge. Staff was very kind and helpful, since the hotel was 6 hours from SJO we had to leave at 4 am and to our surprise there was a staff member there to assist with checkout. There are no key drop-boxes, so I was worried about how we were going to return it. Overall an amazing stay."

Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Tango Mar. The owner always greeted us each day to see how we were or how our day was. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! I took advantage of the spa and had an incredible massage. Gorgeous views of the ocean right out your window and the multiple pools to cool off in with the heat. Swimming beaches were a short drive away if you wanted to swim in the ocean."
