“Breakfast was great and relaxing area area for eating/ hanging out. The property was more beautiful than the pictures show.”

“Just like you see in pictures!! Walk distance to beach and restaurants. Room are functional and works for beach ambience. ”

“The hotel staff was wonderful! They were very accommodating, providing a delicious breakfast and arranging for a fantastic massage from a local Italian massage therapist named Francesca. The local inn pets was an added delight! The property is steps from beach access and located next to some delicious eateries. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, the beds very comfortable and the pool is a lovely addition if the ocean is too rough for swimming. I’d highly recommend Otro Lado. We truly enjoyed our stay.” Read more

“We were a family with 2 teenagers, and this property was just LOVELY for us! You literally drive down the dusty, busy, noisy road through Santa Teresa, and turn into Otra Lado’s driveway and meet instant quiet and lush green surroundings. Great location, great Italian owners, great breakfast, great coffee, great room, great pool, great hammock!! A nice retreat interspersed with our surfing/beach time and time in the hippy surf vibe of the town. ” Read more

“Great location that is close to everything. Set back enough that you would never guess you were near the Main Street. Surf shops and restaurants super close. Beach entrance and best surf spot located right out front. Staff was amazing and super helpful while also being very laid back. My fifth trip to CR and Otro Lado made it one of the most memorable. We WILL be coming back to Otro Lado!” Read more

“Beautiful property, well taken care off. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay I came here with my dog and we were both welcomed . The place is quiet and literally just 2 min away from the fantastic beach. ”

“everything!!!! And I’m a hard person to please! Best place I’ve stayed at in the past 5 days of traveling throughout Costa Rica. Can’t beat the location, knowledgeable staff, nice modern design/layout, cleanliness, board games, hammocks, pool, yoga,breakfast, WiFi & guest handbook is amazing -very organized and thorough. Literally everything you want to know or need is available to you through the hotel. Definitely like a mini hide away resort style. A lot of thought was put into the creation of this hotel ” Read more

“Really nice place with great facilities considering being Costa Rica. It's right beside the beach (50m) but you have to cross the road first. Beautiful sunsets to be seen on the beach too. Room was very clean and the bathroom was great! ”
