Top Malpais Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Me quede en el hotel por segunda vez y la calidad se sigue manteniendo. Habitación limpia y ordenada. El desayuno es muy completo; y la atención super buena."

Vista Del Alma Boutique Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I wish I could give more than 5 stars. After a 20+ hour travel day, we arrived exhausted and unfortunately encountered a bug issue on our first night. What impressed us most wasn’t the problem itself, but how the staff handled it. They immediately took our concerns seriously and, without us even asking, upgraded us to their best villa, which was significantly nicer and more expensive than our original booking. From that point on, the team went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They regularly checked on us, treated the room multiple times, provided extra towels for the doors, and did everything possible to make us feel safe and welcome. The hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional. The staff helped arrange tours, excursions, transportation, shuttle services, and even connected us with a reliable taxi driver. Everyone was friendly, personable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. A special thank you to Cynthia and Shami, who were incredibly helpful before and during our stay. They answered questions, helped us prepare for the trip, and were always available when we needed assistance. They even had breakfast ready early for us on mornings when our excursions started before breakfast service officially opened. What could have been a rough start turned into an amazing stay because of the kindness, professionalism, and dedication of the staff. We left feeling cared for and would happily stay here again."

Believe Surf & Yoga Lodge Santa Teresa - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Another wonderful stay at Believe. I think I’ve spent 150 nights there in past 5 years and it is always a pleasure. Amazing location and the staff are incredibly warm and wonderful people. It’s like coming to visit family every time except fun! Much appreciated, G"
