Horizon Hotel & Yoga Center

"Yoav and Gali have created a beautiful retreat space at this villa hotel, truly embodying the Pura Vida lifestyle. The very spacious and well-appointed private villas are tucked away in the greenery and adorned with so much love and care including handmade seashell décor and Bali inspired artwork that is aesthetically pleasing. The many carefully designed stone staircases lead to delightful views as we made our way to the Café and Yoga studio overlooking the ocean below. This very private and secure yoga hotel offers a holistic experience with twice daily yoga classes and healthy organic food for breakfast and lunch. The yoga classes are taught by exceptional instructors, with a special mention to Yoav's class. His strong voice and presence provided a tremendous grounding experience as we began the class on our stomachs listening to the ocean waves below us. The dining experience is exceptional, featuring fresh, organic foods served with so much love by both Gali and Yoav. They need to create their own cookbook! It's the best place in town for breakfast and lunch, surpassing even the well-reviewed Bakery in town. A true oasis in bustling Santa Teresa, surpassing expectations and offering a peaceful place to retreat on your own private balcony with all the comforts of home including hammocks."

Vista del Alma Boutique - Adult Only

"We spent three nights at Vista del Alma Boutique Resort – and from start to finish, it was a truly memorable stay. The road to the hotel is quite steep, but manageable with a 4x4 SUV – and the breathtaking views more than make up for the adventurous drive. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with a local team that spoke perfect English and offered plenty of helpful recommendations and support. We felt truly cared for from the moment we arrived. We had reserved an Oceanview Villa, and it was absolutely stunning – beautifully designed, modern, spotlessly clean, and with an incredible view over the ocean. The sunsets were unreal. As a lovely welcome, we received a bottle of wine and two fresh local juices – a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. Breakfast could be enjoyed either in-room or at the on-site restaurant. We tried both – and having breakfast on the terrace with that view was simply magical. The restaurant staff were warm and friendly, and the breakfast itself was extensive, delicious, and customizable. For the quality and variety offered, the value for price was excellent. We also took part in the on-site yoga class, which was beginner-friendly and came with a truly serene view of the ocean – a peaceful, grounding experience. Since you’re in the middle of the jungle, it’s worth noting that leaving the door open for even a minute can invite some insects inside – but that’s to be expected in this kind of natural setting, and it didn’t bother us much. The only small downside: parking and access can be tricky. The drive is very steep, and parking requires confident driving skills and a proper 4x4 vehicle. Final verdict: A stunning boutique resort with heart, style, and soul. If you’re looking for privacy, luxury, and a deep connection to nature – all with unforgettable ocean views – this is the place. We’d absolutely come back."

Beach Villa Santa Teresa

Casa Marbella

"I loved our stay in this charming little hotel. We had a kitchenette which was really nice. We had breakfast and coffee by the pool every morning. The saltwater pool was so lovely. It was quiet which was really nice to be away from the hustle and bustle at the beach below. Honestly, in our travels, we have never seen the cleaning staff pay attention and work as hard as these women did. I was shocked to see them wiping the railings, and window sills every morning. Amazing. The only warning I have is, there is a steep driveway so it is a hike from the beach. Recommend you to walk to the restaurant next door through the private gate. Stunning views and excellent food. We had an incredible server named Juan. He was absolutely Juan-derful 😊. I regret we didn’t stay longer."
