A boutique beachfront resort in Santa Teresa offering a rare Costa Rican beach escape, because most Costa Rica beach resorts are not on this beach. This is. Features modern bungalows, a big pool, and activities like surfing, yoga, and nature hikes.
Paradise comes with a commute – you'll need 4-6 hours depending on your airport of choice (factor in ferry timing if coming from San José). The design occasionally breaks character with some puzzling furniture choices, but the beach setup more than compensates. Yoga enthusiasts, brace for non-complimentary namaste sessions at $20 per enlightenment. One restaurant on-site, but Santa Teresa's culinary scene is just a dusty stroll away, or stumble down the beach.
Fancy the VIP treatment? Book with us, and we’ll make it happen. Early check-in, late check-out? Sorted. Free breakfast? Of course. F+B voucher? We’ll work on it. Room upgrade? Probably.
It’s all about who you know, and with our FORA partnership, you’re always in the inner circle. We’ll confirm what perks we’ve arranged before you ever pay.
A free-spirited beach town where surfboards and slow living set the pace

Food + Drink On-site surprises
Ocean-front dining where shoes remain optional
Manzú restaurant plays double duty as beach bar and dining destination, serving up Pacific Rim-meets-Costa Rica cuisine from sunrise to starlight. While it's the sole on-property dining venue, you're hardly marooned – Santa Teresa's vibrant restaurant scene lies just beyond the gate. For a quick escape, a Brazilian BBQ joint beckons just two minutes down the beach. The real magic happens at sunset, when the restaurant's beach setup transforms into the perfect perch for sundowners.
