Travel Guide

What a night this turned out to be. After a surf session, my kids talked me into going back down to the beach, and we were rewarded with this! #adventure

8.4/10 Very Good! (218 reviews)
Beau site propre, avec piscine. Bel accueil. Stationnement surveillé. Juste un peu trop d’escaliers pour se rendre à notre habitation qui était tout au fond. L’hôtel est bien situé, à 3-4 minutes de la plage et des restos.

Verified traveler

Beautiful culture, amazing beach!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

This area is filled with tourists. It's like putting SoHo in Costa Rica, with expensive, fancy, crowded restaurants, but dirt roads that kick up so much dust you are covered by the time your get to your fancy restaurant. Definitely not authentic.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Beautiful beaches, great food options, people are very nice. Very dusty with the dirt roads being right on top of the restaurants so it's pointless to dress up

5/5 - Excellent

Jeff

Santa Teresa looks to be growing quickly. What was once a sleepy beach village is being found by more people. My guess is it will become more popular as the roads to it and along its beaches improve.

3/5 - Okay

John

I loved the beaches and the hospitality of every single person at the hotel and the places where we went for food. However, the road could be improved and sidewalks would make walking around the town way safer.

5/5 - Excellent

Santa Teresa is off the beaten path. I hope it stays this way and does not lose its charm. Over development will take away its character. Plan on renting an ATV while you are there to get around.
