This place was ideal for our stay. Highly walkable to the beach, town, and dining options. The pool was a huge bonus and the kids loved it. The morning wake-up from the howler monkeys was next level cool.

Cute place, but super noisy all night long with traffic and even in early morning. Loud motorcycles constantly. Water randomly turns off, even when your half way through a shower.

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.
