Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

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."

"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."

"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."

"We had an amazing 5 night stay at Sea Wing. It was in a perfect location, beachfront, on the main street but far enough away no noise other than the waves crashing nearby.The property is well maintained and we felt very secure, night and day. The house staff were friendly and available for assistance, and helped to coordinate groceries, excursionw, and a private chef for breakfast/lunch which was also fantastic and a great way to really unwind and relax while enjoying the house.We would absolutely stay again, and it has definitely spoiled our family and expectations for any future VRBO stay!"
