Check in process was very easy and Lucia gave us a lot of great tips and things to do in the area. The bungalows are exactly as they are described. The outdoor bathroom is an experience itself. Showering under the full moon was a delight. The private kitchen is a plus for when you are too tiered to go outside. The beach is a short walk away as well a coffee shops and restaurants. I got to meet Alberto (the owner) who was kind enough to show me around. I mentioned him that I had read some reviews about the neighbours roosters, but he confirmed they are gone! I highly recommend this place and hopefully we’ll be back soon! ##### Alessandro Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### dillon Jul 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed the quiet and proximity to the beach.

Our long awaited vacation turned into a nightmare. We could not sleep because neighboring roosters started crowing at 2am and their coop was just 5 meters away from our room. It was LOUD. There was also lack of privacy in the bathroom as there is a 2 story house which can see directly into the shower. Also, rooms had thin see-through curtains which let in outside street lights at night, and make it hard to change. After the first night of no sleep and chasing cockroaches from the room, we notified the property management asking for a refund. They declined it stating that they cannot control outside noise and that cockroaches are normal part of jungle. After leaving the property and renting another one just down the street we found no cockroaches there and could sleep in silence. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS US AND RENT ROOMS HERE, there are much better options in town. We will leave video evidence on google reviews showing video recordings of rooster noises so you can hear them. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AC17058572D077224857EFAE1DBC99268D55CBAE1710291055378.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3091CD7EE766770100C629485162C388B080AEDE1710291055497.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dexter Mar 29, 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities CAUTION TO PROSPECTIVE GUESTS! READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING! This is not a hotel, but more like glamping. For what they are charging, there are much better options in Santa Teresa. We were unpleasantly surprised to find out that the toilet, sink, and shower are all outdoors. Using an outdoor toilet in 37c (99F) heat is quite unpleasant. No where on Expedia does it say that the toilet is located outside. We tried discussing our concerns with the local representative, she was friendly and reached out to the owner for a resolution. No luck. The owner refused to work with us on even a partial refund even though we did not stay there for any of the 3 nights we booked. The outdoor shower is a nice idea, but the wooden walls have large gaps that open into the parking lot. Also, the main road through town passes a few meters away from the bungalows making a lot of noise from all the quads and motorcycles as well as fumes and dust. It seems that the owner wants to save a few pennies at the expense of the guest. Signs inside prohibit bringing towels to the beach. When we requested actual beach towels, we were told to buy them at the local supermarket. So, we spent $24 USD on towels that we will not be able to bring back with us. No other hotel we have stayed at in Costa Rica refused to provide beach towels. I am sure that someone from Buena Onda will come on here and discredit this review, but it’s the unfortunate truth. Hopefully I can prevent someone making the same mistake like us. ##### Dexter Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ralf Apr 26, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Eine grosse Enttäuschung. Die Bungalow sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die Anlage befindet sich auch nicht im Urwald, sondern an einer sehr staubigen, viel befahrenen Hauptstrasse mit entsprechend viel Lärm. In den Bungalow gibt es Gas Kocher, jedoch nirgends Feuerlöscher, was ich für sehr bedenklich halte. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war den ganzen Tag Stromausfall, d.h. es gibt dann auch kein Wasser für Dusche oder Toilette. Auf der Anlage ist kein Personal, wenn es Probleme gibt ist man auf sich allein gestellt. Telefonisch erreicht man niemanden. Wir sind nach einer Nacht wieder gegangen, es gibt in Santa Teresa sehr viel bessere Optionen. ##### Ralf Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Besitzer sind jederzeit per Whatsapp erreichbar, Bungalow sind super schön und liegen nur wenige Gehminuten von diversen Restaurant entfernt ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marianne Jan 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Charmerende Vi havde et skønt ophold på Buena Onda. Tilbragte 4 dage i de skønne og charmerende bambus hytter. Stedet ligger i kort gåafstand til stranden, indkøb og restauranter. Eneste minus var naboens hane. De varmeste anbefalinger herfra ☀️. ##### Marianne Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis Elizondo Dec 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lugar muy bonito y acogedor, rodeado de naturaleza y muy cerca de la playa. ##### Luis Elizondo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Mar 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love the place and the host. ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Esperanza Jan 30, 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Imposible dormir Los Bungalows son bonitos, y el jardin es precioso, pero estan al lado de la carretera, y el ruido de los ATVs, las motos y los coches q pasan literalmente al lado, hace imposible dormir. Estuvimos 5 dias y no limpiaron ni cambiaron las toallas en ningun momento. ##### Esperanza Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber Jan 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a unique and beautiful place to stay! The host was very responsive and helpful. The restaurants that are near we great and the beach road is super close. We loved it. ##### Amber Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline Dec 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic place to stay, especially for a solo traveler! The bungalows are adorable and have the coolest outdoor showers. The location is great- walking distance to beach and restaurants. Margherita and Albi are amazing hosts! We were on a texting basis and they organized my daily activities (surf lessons, yoga, covid test, etc.) and my taxis. They have relationships with the drivers and instructors which made me feel extra safe. 10/10 recommend staying here and can’t wait to come back! ##### Caroline Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had an amazing stay here!!! The owner of Margarita greeted us warmly and gave us all the information we needed during our stay; She also helped to arrange for pick up from the airport (Tambor). The property is beautiful with lots of lush plants and flora surrounding. The bungalows are simple and elegant, with private bath (shower in the rain was so cool!!) and patio w hammocks. Wifi works and theres a mini fridge/hot plate. Great for privacy, relaxation, and cute Instagram pics! Appx 5 mins walking distance to the beach and food not far. pack earplugs because the roosters will wake u at the crack of dawn! I will definitely return here!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Très belle accueille ce sont des gens très gentils ils nous ont fait la lessive pour 10$ La propreté est remarquable. Les bungalows sont très bien situé et ils nous ont très bien renseignés sur les activités au alentour 👌 Je recommande fortement ce lieu pour les couples comme pour les familles! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Eric Mar 22, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service #### Worst experience ever Prepaid reservation not honored ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Dec 30, 2024 ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elisa Mar 18, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Elisa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Mar 21, 2021 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Los Suenos Resort Colina 8E](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Resort-Colina-8E.h29874478.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [House near the beautiful beaches of Manuel Antonio and others tourist sites.](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-House-Near-The-Beautiful-Beaches-Of-Manuel-Antonio-And-Others-Tourist-Sites.h33394127.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Cedro - Portasol Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Casa-Cedro-Portasol-Vacation-Rentals.h26758340.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Roca Boutique Resort & Suites-ADULT ONLY](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Roca-Adults-Only.h71987760.Hotel-Information) > > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Melody](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Villa-Melody.h38581909.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas de la Selva](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Villas-De-La-Selva.h11096805.Hotel-Information) > > [Yuli Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballena-Hotels-Yuli-Hotel.h88489827.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Mango Moon Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Mango-Moon-Villa.h15203473.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [HRG Condos at Los Sueños](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-HRG-Condos-At-Los-Suenos.h3849595.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Altos Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Los-Altos-Resort.h3444310.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [VAL HOTEL](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-VAL-HOTEL.h78656570.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabulia Tree Hotel and Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tabulia-Tree-Hotel-And-Villas.h7050529.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Selina Manuel Antonio - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Selina-Manuel-Antonio.h16878783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Pacífica](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Pacifica.h9129735.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Luna de Miel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Villas-Luna-De-Miel.h39132989.Hotel-Information) > > [Banana Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Banana-Beach-Bungalows.h13315109.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information)
