"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in February. The room was gorgeous with an even more magical view of the jungle below. The service from the resort was outstanding. The concierge came to meet us personally and gave us recommendations for the nearby area. The resort is conveniently located walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. They also washed our laundry and cleaned our car free of charge. Highly recommend"

"Really loved staying here and would highly recommend it. Everything was great, the grounds and location are amazing right on the beach. The breakfast was really nice, rooms aren’t massive but have everything you need and are clean and comfy and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. I only had a tiny 2wd car and Casa Cecilia was easily accessible along the road in Santa Teresa with this (was in dry season though, maybe would need 4x4 in wet season). Overall I would highly recommend...

"We had the most incredible stay. The property is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at. The service was wonderful. The front desk staff were so kind and happy to accommodate any request we had. Highly recommend this hotel. The location was incredible because it was close enough to Santa Teresa but far enough that you weren’t in the middle of the scene in ST. Truly an amazing experience."

"We stayed at the hotel for five nights and had a fantastic experience. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and the hotel was beautiful and very clean. It’s clear that every detail was thoughtfully considered. The rooms were cleaned more than once a day, and the breakfast was tasty and varied. The location is great and close to everything. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back next time!"

"Amazing views and the terrace with the jacuzzi is absolutely worth it. Daily cleaning with fresh towels, coffee/tea refills, and everything left spotless.
The bed was super big and very comfortable. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. The reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful, both via WhatsApp and in person.
The road is steep but manageable with an SUV (no 4x4 needed), and walking takes just 7–10 minutes. We loved that it’s away from the busy center—much more peaceful...

"We stayed at Arjau for our first couple nights in Santa Teresa. It is such a beautifully done boutique hotel and the owner and service was outstanding. He had breakfast made for us each morning, offered to make us a lobster paella for dinner and had our room cleaned perfectly each time we came back from an outing. Beautiful owner and beautiful place to stay! "

"We had a great 2 night stay here and would definitely come back. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast included was excellent-I particularly loved the cappuccino machine! The pool was small but lovely. The ocean view was only partial due to trees, but it is only a block to to the beach which was beautiful."

Santa Teresa (the town) is very busy, so we limited our time there as that is not what we were looking for. That being said, we stocked up on supplies. Outside of that, the overall area is quite beautiful - beaches, jungle, serenity.

There is one main drag through Santa Teresa. It is very busy with cars, ATV's and motorcycles. You have to be very careful walking the street. No sidewalks.

The streets are a bit rough to walk on for older folks. And a bit dusty. But we rented an atv to drive to the tide pools in mal pais, montezuma and hermosa. Really great restaurant choices.

Like all beautiful places, word spreads and more people come to visit. I admit I'm part of that "problem". In the core area, things were crowded. You are only minutes away from quieter locations while being able to enjoy the many conveniences of town

Only negative was one big section of the road in the center of the town was not paved and it was extremely rocky and dusty. Unsure as to why left unpaved but it is a high traffic area. Felt bad for shops and restaurants in that section.

Santa Teresa is a Beautiful Area! Highly recommend TRX for your ATV/Buggy (a must) rentals!
"Lovely property - the property team is simply wonderful. Felt like “home away from home”. Very cozy with beautiful room and bed setup with balcony. Loved the location and simply blissful. Planning to go back again. "
"We liked every each part of our stay there. We helped with sending us a driver that gonna pick us up from the airport and then there were so welcomed and explain everything and show our studio. I had a few times that I didn’t even want to go out of our room because it was so nice the pool the sun the quiet the view everything is amazing!
You feel like you woke up in the jungle. And you woke up to this view when you’re going to sleep with the view is amazing. Highly recommend."

The road is steep but manageable with an SUV (no 4x4 needed), and walking takes just 7–10 minutes. We loved that it’s away from the busy center—much more peaceful and the views are way better.
Only downside: the kitchen is minimally equipped (just two glasses, two plates, one pan), and lacks basics like salt or oil. Also, most of the fridge space is taken by minibar items (for purchase).
Still, we highly recommend it!"
