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.
