We had a great stay at Akwa! Alexia and Eduardo were welcoming, kind and responsive. The villa was luxurious, with minimalist design, a full sliding door that transformed the space into shared indoor/outdoor space. The private plunge pool is a game changer! The driveway into the development is very steep, but this is typical of many accommodations in Santa Teresa. You can walk to the beach and back, just prepare yourself for a short but challenging climb back up!

Alexia was awesome! Helped me and my partner with many questions! Also booked us a taxi from Cobano to Santa Teresa and from Santa Teresa to Cobano, with timing on point! We also had rented an ATV and she made sure the ATV was there when we arrived to Akwa Santa Teresa! Definitely recommend to book for anyone who wants a chill relaxing quiet place with wonderful service!

This was an amazing boutique hotel located in Santa Teresa. The staff were phenomenal and super helpful. The room was spacious and super clean, with an extremely comfy bed, and very eco friendly! The pool was fantastic, and even though it was shared it really felt like a private pool as most rooms had their own. The view from the pool was amazing as well! The breakfast every morning was great. The hotel is up a very steep hill, so I would be prepared to do a hike uphill if you don’t have a vehicle. The hotel as well is a short walk to many bars and restaurants, including some great beach front spots! Overall would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Santa Teresa!
