Hotel Tropico Latino is an authentic Costa Rican beachside hotel in Santa Teresa. The location cannot be beat—right in the middle of the Pura Vida action. Our meals were top-notch—ask Mama to make you her special tumeric morning tea—WOW! We stayed there as part of the Pura Vida Adventures surf retreat, and it was a great place on the beach. Our room was comfortable, with two king beds. There were no blackout shades, and the Wi-Fi was just okay—that may be the Costa Rican way, but not so much the hotel. The pool and beachfront lounges are perfect. Most rooms have porches with hammocks. The spa is wonderful—we had two amazing massages. I recommend, though, having any after-dark appointments in a closed spa room rather than the lovely open-air spa rooms they offer. (I had an exercise class taking place next to my evening massage, which was not as relaxing as I usually like.) The staff is friendly and will help with anything you need during your stay.
