Well-maintained hotel with great breakfast.
Clean, close enough to walk to town and beach, but far enough away to be quiet and private.

Bungalow with a super cool pool
Wonderful small hotel just 3 minutes outside of the town of Santa Teresa. My husband, my 10 year old son and I really appreciated being able to return to this quiet, lush, comfortable spot after a full day in town / at the beach / exploring the area. It is super convenient and has the best pool with great ambient music and cabanas with long curtains. Its not a resort-sized pool; more like the best backyard pool that you could imagine, surrounded by tropical beauty. Individual bungalows provide great privacy. Mattresses are firm with good pillows. Breakfasts are very good too. If the room had a small dresser to help us stay organized, it would be perfect. Other spots have direct beach access or ocean views. If that is not critical feature, this place is a dream.

Amazing place and amazing people
We had a great time at The Place. Everyone there went out of the way to make our stay comfortable and helped with all our day trips and offered recommendations. The pool and courtyard were great after a day in the sun. We'd definitely go back.

We Found Our Bliss!
What a fantastic gem! Perfect location, beautiful rooms, absolutely WONDERFUL staff...it honestly could not be more perfect. My husband and I have been coming to the Nicoya Peninsula for years, and this is the first place we've stayed that brings together each detail we love about Costa Rica and this area. Bliss!

Little Paradise
What can I say apart that this is a great and lovely hotel. We had a perfect stay. The bungalows are absolutely charming; as is the hotel. The swimming pool and the garden are a little paradise and everything is clean and well maintained. You can even enjoy local product for shower. In addition the staff as well as the owner are very kind and always helpful. There is a large choice of breakfast. I highly recommend you to stay here; the place is quite and really peacefull and totally worth the moderate price; and to enjoy a cocktail by the pool. Thanks again to the staff for such nice welcome !
