    Americanized beach town. Crowded waters to surf.

    Americanized beach town. Crowded waters to surf. Really bad infrastructure, roads are bad, no sidewalks and caos in traffic. The beach itself is very beautiful and the waves are nice. Just the vibe is either you love it or you hate it.

    Santa Teresa for us was a completely disastrous in terms of development. I cannot even imagine anyone wanting to live there. The scenery once you get beyond the mishmash of stores 3 centimeters from the really poor roads is wonderful. It is a surfer place and nothing more. I would not ever go back for any reason

    Santa Teresa has the most beautiful beach.

    Santa Teresa has the most beautiful beach. There are so many places to eat that have great food. Santa Teresa does not feel as crowded as some other beaches in Costa Rica, and I honestly feel very safe there. I would highly recommmend this place.

    The property is amazing.

    The property is amazing. The pool is super cute, the rooms are spacious and modern. BUT the Beach Club/Restaurant charged us for things we didn’t order. We will always pay for everything we eat and drink but when things are added on our bills that we didn’t consume, we regretfully are super bitter. The hotel is looking into it and said they will get back to us. They have t yet. Also, they advocate that they are an adult only hotel but there were kids at the restaurant and at pool.

    Wooden shacks with corrugated metal roofs along a dusty dirt road. Restaurants use camping-style kitchens and where they get their groceries with absolutely no decent food market within at least two hours driving is their secret. There is absolutely no sewage system anywhere. Everyone just has a whole in the ground they call ‘septic system’. Just steps from the beach !! Would be interesting to have the water quality tested..

    Lovely.

    Lovely. Beautiful beach with soft sand, wonderful sunsets, great waves, a lot of nature. A bit too many people (lots of surfers) and cars in some parts, but great offer in terms of cafes, restaurants, yoga and surf lessons.

    I had a super moment with my wife. I'm very grateful. The location was epic with stunning views all over. The balcony with the jungle view, the balcony with the ocean view. We thought that the access was going to be harder but with our Rav4 rental car we made it with no problem, and actually, it is a few minutes from the center of Santa Teresa! Before we booked we saw a review saying that the images didn't reflect reality... well.. we agree, they don't do! the reality is much better :)

    Gem of a hotel, nestled in a small mountain, yet only 7 min walk to the sea. Beautiful pool. Free tea/coffee provided. The info binder with local info was super handy. Also the info about the oweners Jessie & Andre and how they selected Santa Teresa to settle down after years of leading a nomadic life added a personal touch without even meeting them in person. Very clean and comfortable beds. Overall, a fantastic place to spend a few peaceful days in the nature.

    The location was great (across the street from path to beach), nice garden with pool, functional kitchen with good hanging area, hammocks to hang in and own patio. The room had great AC and was very comfortable. Grocery store is a quick walk. Surf shop attached to hotel and has fine boards. As a 30 year old traveler I really appreciated the comforts and privacy this place provided but the community feel from a hostel. Would recommend this spot to anyone!

    ICO is my favourite hostel that I have ever stayed at. The people that work there really go over and beyond to make sure you are welcomed, and have everything you need. Best hostel in Santa Teresa and the dorm beds are big, and comfortable. I stayed on the top bunk and really enjoyed it. The room was very spacious, clean, cool with A\C and large ensuite bathroom with shower. The open air kitchen & hammocks are perfect place to meet people and hang out.

    Thank you! Coco Bungo has upgraded my experience in Santa Teresa so much which made me fall in love with it! The location is absolutely gorgeous, North Santa Teresa is the gem of the place. We were just a few steps from the beach and also Rocamar which is a great spot for food & drinks. The room was designed so beautifully and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Waking up hugged by a beautiful vegetation was a total treat. Highly recommended!
