Incredible Casa Chemeon
My wife and I are happy to give the Casa Chameleon our highest recommendation. The rooms are incredible, the common spaces are intimate but also offer an incredible view of Mal Pais and the Pacific ocean sunsets, and the staff are all dedicated to making your stay enjoyable and memorable.
A quick anecdote, on our last day, we came back with some yellow fin tuna from a fishing trip. We asked the chef to prepare us a meal using some of the fish. The wait staff and the chef worked together to organize and prepare us one of the most amazing meals we have ever had. It was a tremendous send off.
We were impressed with everything that came out of the kitchen.
The concierge(s) was able to move mountains for us on multiple occasions.
Our visit was a true pleasure! Until next time "Pura Vida!"

Great staff,pool, setting, and view.
We loved hotel, but they could add some safety features like more railings, lights, and ramps. The rooms at the top were cute with great view but really hard to get up to. One of our friends fell coming back from dinner. Also, I would have loved coffee in the room since it was hard ,when half asleep ,to come down the stairs .

Comphy stay
Plesently surprised. Our hostess is a bilingual warm woman that was most helpful. She upgraded our bungalow to another room with a kitchen. Very clean and nice. We walked to a beautiful beach, short drive to go surfing good restaurants and shopping close by as well

Very Courteous and beautiful view
The owners were very friendly and helpful. They designed an elevated yoga/workout platform in the jungle, that overlooks the ocean. It made workouts much more enjoyable and provided a Great place to just hang out. The room did not have a kitchen, but the owners had the facilities outdoor fully equipped kitchen cleaned, so we could cook meals. The outdoor kitchen is covered and has a large pizza oven in it also.

NICE HOTEL, GREAT PIZZA RESTAURANT IN IT
VERY NICE HOTEL, 100 METERS AWAY FROM THE BEACH. GREAT PIZZA RESTAURANT, THE BREAKFAST CAN IMPROVE A LITTLE. ROOMS ARE HUGE, SEPARETE BATHROOM FROM SHOWER WHICH IS GREAT. THE STAFF IS VERY KIND. I FORGOT MY 2 WATCHES IN THE SAFE AND THE STAFF WAS VERY KIND TO KEEP THEM FOR ME AND GAVE THEM BACK TO ME WHEN I REALIZED I HAVE LOST THEM. BE WARE THAT THEY CHARGE 50% ON YOUR CC AND THE REMAINING 50% YOU HAVE TO PAY IN CASH, OVERALL SANTA TERESA IS A CASH ONLY PLACE SO BE READY TO SPEND YOU CASH VERY VERY FAST.

Perfect Hotel crazy close to Playa Carmen
As a solo traveler in Santa Teresa, I couldn't have picked a better hotel to stay at! All the staff (from the housekeeping to the office staff) was so amazing, so caring, and attentive to my needs! The staff became like family to me. I had a long day of travel from Arenal/La Fortuna, and Carolina was the first person I met once arriving to Hotel Santa Teresa. She instantly made me feel welcome and relaxed and I quickly forgot about my long morning.
The rooms were clean, the shower was large and had great water pressure. I had a partial view of the ocean right outside my room and I had a balcony where I could sit and listen/watch monkeys! The rooms were quiet, bed was comfortable, and the pool was a perfect option after being at the beach all day.
To the beach: it literally took me 2 min to walk to the beach, and downtown Santa Teresa was right there! I really appreciated that there was also an ATM right around the corner, which in some cases, isn't always the case.
I ended up loving Santa Teresa so much and the hotel and staff, that I ended up staying another night and the hotel made it easy to do so. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Hotel Santa Teresa and will be back as soon as I can.
To Hotel Santa Teresa: thank you so much for an amazing, memorable time in Santa Teresa, a time I truly will never forget! Pura Vida! Gracias mis Amigos, hasta Luego!

A beach life hostel with yoga classes
I was more of family trip, the room was not too comfortable for that - a bit dark, minimum furniture, no air conditioning, communal bathrooms with showers, the breakfast was coffee and fruit, very basic. The staff was nice and helpful. There were a lot of students at the hostel living beach life and taking yoga classes.
Moto- and quadro-cycles are popular in the town of Santa Theresa.

Escape to Paradise!
While a drive there from Liberia Airport was a bit long (we should have taken a plane to Tambor), the experience of Tango Mar was one we'll remember for a very long time. The location is breathtaking! The accommodations were clean, comfortable and modern. The staff: Hannia, Rosabel, Xavier, Royland, Jesus, Sonia, Jorge, and many more were always attentive, warm and friendly... always smiling and ready to help. Tango Mar's owner, Hilde, was also involved in making our experience a positive one. We were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday there, and the staff arranged for us to have dinner under a private cabana next to the ocean; they even had a special cake personalized for him, and as all their food was, it was delicious! This is a resort where you could do nothing or do a lot and be very pleased with your vacation. Oh, and the beach... heavy surf, but gorgeous!
