Casa Marbella

Casa Marbella is a boutique hotel perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Needless to say, the view from here is awesome, with sunsets that are acclaimed as being some of the best in the area. The hotel itself is small and quaint, featuring Spanish architecture.

This hotel's size lends itself to couples on honeymoon or small groups. The infinity-edged saltwater swimming pool is only steps away from the rooms, built into a tile courtyard that looks out over the ocean. Guests can also take a dip in the hot tub. Stretch your stress away at the ocean-facing yoga pavilion.

Every room has an ocean view and is equipped with balconies and patios that are adorned with chairs and hammocks. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and clean. They include air-conditioning, a kitchen with a refrigerator, and an in-room safe. Guests can access Wi-Fi throughout the property.

There's not shortage of sun-soaked activities to fill your time at Santa Teresa. Santa Teresa is situated at the meeting point of a vibrant, biologically diverse jungle and some of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches. The beach here is calm and attractive, with white-sand that stretches for miles and an ocean that invites a variety of water sports. In fact, this area has some of the best surfing in the region, as the waves come in all sizes and are perfect for every skill level.

The Cabo Blanco National Park is nearby as well, providing visitors with access to an assortment of forest trails that hold the promise of spotting monkeys, iguanas, butterflies, and even armadillos. The town itself is very active, with all kinds of restaurants and shops, and a nightlife that often stretches into the wee hours of the morning.
