We really enjoyed our stay! The room was nice and clean and quite. And the location was perfect right off the main street and centrally located to everywhere we were going. Perfect for our little weekend excursion
Got there before check in time and they let us in no problem. The sheets were comfortable, towels were great, location was as good as it gets. Would definitely stay there again.
Zula was a great, affordable small resort with a pool and free coffee. It is centrally located, and it has friendly staff. It is does what you expect for the price, and it does it well.
Just Stayed over Night. But nice and friendly place

Quiet and cozy place
It is an older hotel but the casita was clean, bed and pillow were comfortable and the A/C worked. The hotel staff emailed us with the gate code and when we arrived the staff directed us to our room. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance from us but we did rent an ATV to tour the rest of the town. We are never in our room so it was great for us.
Zula Inn Santa Teresa is a truly special place that makes you feel at home while on vacation. Rotem, the host, goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best stay possible.
The location is perfect—close to restaurants and the beach, so there’s no need to rent an ATV or car. Additionally, they have an excellent restaurant offering delicious Mediterranean food. The hospitality was so warm and welcoming that I even cleared my own table after the meal because I felt right at home!
10 stars for the place, and 100 stars for the feeling it gives you. Thank you, Zula Inn, and thank you, Rotem! Highly recommended.
Loved staying at Zula Inn. Family of 4 with small kids 9&5 yrs old.
We stayed for 4 nights and ot was just wonderful. Super comfy and spotlessly clean. Rooms provide all utensils you need to stock up on groceries and do your thing. We decided to eat out every meal and there are mulyiple options near by.
My favorite part...After a sun baked day at the beach with an amazing sunset (5-8 min walk) walking into a cooled A/C clean room with all cleaned and beds made 😎. Of course dont forget the nighly deep in the pool before calling it a night with the kids.
Would definitely stay again if in the area.

I had a really lovely stay. The owners were friendly, and always willing to help. The property was kept very clean, and I felt safe throughout my time there. The pool area is comfortable, with good loungers and chairs to relax on.
The room was pleasant, though the shower could benefit from a small update, and having a few more options for hanging clothes would be useful. A bedside lamp would also be a nice touch.
The location was excellent, with the beach and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. That said, Santa Teresa doesn’t always have sidewalks or street lighting, and in some areas I didn’t love walking along the road with passing traffic and ATVs — especially in spots without streetlights. This is more of a general issue in town, not something related to the accommodation.
Overall, I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed my stay.

Great location, close to everything in Santa Teresa.
Room was tired and outdated but clean. Door would not lock from the inside which as a solo female traveller, made me feel unsafe. Anyone could have opened the door and got in.
Couldn’t get the shower to run hot water.
Loud music could be heard from another venue nearby which impacted sleep.
Confusing communication about check in (there is no staff on site).
We had a really good time at Zula. Loved the junior suite amenities. Nice and comfortable bedding, full kitchen and quiet location. Highly recommended.

The property is in a great location, and the kitchen is well equipped. The cleaning staff were very kind and friendly, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the maintenance man was very rude and unprofessional, which negatively affected our experience. The mattress should also be replaced, as it is very uncomfortable. Overall, the property is convenient, but there is definitely room for improvement.

The hotel is in a VERY good location. It's walking distance from everywhere (beach, restaurantes, supermarkets, etc). Rotem was very helpful if we needed something. Our room was very nice, the bathroom door didn't really closed so you were in the bathroom and all of a sudden the bathroom door opens. The Wi-Fi didn't worked, there was no wifi the whole time we were there.
Besides that, the hotel is really nice, I'd stay there if I go back :)
Una excelente opción costo beneficio, con una ubicación estratégica, instalaciones con espacios comunes agradables, personal accesible y con una agradable cocina y supermercado casi que a la par para prepararse las comidas sin tener q comer afuera todos los días!
Espero volver pronto
