Special thanks to Esteban for taking such good care of us! Thanks and pura vida!!
Ivan, 7-night trip

Friendly staff. Nicely located near beach and restaurants and everything. Everything related to plumbering needed some freshness... Also the parking was not too convenient, but not worse than every place in Santa Teresa.

Inte värt pengarna
slitet hotel som mest lägger sina resurser på att hyra ut sufbrädor. Otroligt slitet och nedgånget. Trasigt kakel i princip hela polen. Dålig luftkondetionering och i övrigt i stort behov av renovering.

Completely Disappointed
We were so disappointed that we left a day early. This hotel is listed as a 3 star hotel. It is not. There is very little service, the room did not even have towels when we arrived. We requested towels and received very worn towels. We requested some hand towels and received a rag. Had this been listed as a 2 star hotel, I would not be as harsh on this review. However, for the price we paid I do not feel we received the service or the quality that we had at other hotels of a similar price range. The pictures are not accurate. While there is a kitchen available, there are no supplies for washing any dishes - such as towels or soap. We did not have any cleaning service because they "only clean if we are there". Which is crazy, we don't want to wait around to have our room cleaned while we are on vacation. I would not recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very good

Le wi-fi était defectueux les premiers jours, et ensuite nous ne le captions pas dans la chambre, il fallait aller à l'extérieur. tres bel emplacement, entre la plage et les restaurants/boutique! L'eau de la piscine n'était pas très claire. Nous ne pouvions pas payé par Visa, la personne nous mentionnait que son terminal etait brisé, et qu'il chargeait 5% de plus si nous options pour ce mode de paiement.

Great experience in Santa Teresa
The owners were incredibly nice and helpful. They got us surfboards, lessons, rental bicycles, rental quads, and give us very good and insightful advice about what to do in the area. Great experience, ended up staying longer than originally planned.

Beautiful area. The pictures of the rooms are deceiving though. A lot smaller in real life!!

Not trustworthy but close to the beach
The characters who run Pacifica Surf Studios are very dodgy. At the checkin the confirmation from Hotels didn´t seem to comply with the hotels version of the deal. We we´re two groups checking in and paying at the hotel with different priced rooms. My room seemed to be booked at somewhat the right price but the hotel still wanted to charge me more than in the mail but after a while they offered the same price. The other room ended up seventy dollars more expensive. On top of that they wanted to charge me a hefty 5 percent extra when paying with a credit card and if I wanted to pay in local currency they offered an outrageous exchange rate. I ended up going to the bank to withdraw dollars instead, still having to deal with exchange rates. Hotels.com shouldn´t let these people handle the payment.
