Fuego Lodge ★★★

"Set in beautiful gardens up a side road (with parking), this lodge is brilliantly located (if you have a car) to explore the beaches and villages of the southern Nicoya area. Our room was right opposite the warm pool, with loungers and tables and chairs. There was plenty of storage space for clothes, a fridge, kettle and coffee maker. The bed and pillows were comfortable and we slept well. Yes, there is a new apartment being built over the road, but the work is being done during the day and mostly by hand (it’s not like a massive construction site on the Costa del Sol!) and it did not bother us at all. The room stayed cool (with the A/C) and almost completely bug free (the door fitted really well). We enjoyed watching squirrels and humming birds just outside our room (No. 5 a quadruple room with two double beds). The breakfast choices were all delicious (we tried them all!) and the staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks go to Ania, who gave excellent advice about our journeys to and from the lodge and who recommended some fantastic restaurants. The yoga deck was an added bonus, with daily classes; Carlotta’s flow in particular, was Devine."

Selva Resort ★★★★★

Jungle Lodge at Wild Sun Rescue Center ★★★

Hotel Tropico Latino ★★★

"This is my third time staying at the resort. I absolutely love it here, it’s right on the beach. Our bungalow was spacious. The staff is definitely the best, friendly, helpful and fun. Food is great! And the surfing in front of the resort is spectacular. Will definitely be returning 😊"

Canaima Chill House ★★★

"The chill house was just okay. Had I taken time to research more I would have stayed in a different place on the beach side that provide more in terms of amenities, services and ambiance. The Chillhouse location is not ideal. It is located next to a dusty and noisy road during both day and night. I struggled with breathing the entire time I was there. ATVs and vehicles are constantly struggling to climb the hill so expect tons of dust during your stay during the dry season. I can only imagine the frustration one would experience climbing the hill during the rainy season. You have to have an ATV or 4x4 vehicle to climb the hill…be sure to reserve one before you arrive due to the limited supply in Santa Teresa. There were ants on the cabinets constantly. The place is okay but a bit old and needs a refresh. The neighbors were loud after 2 am. I reported them and received an apology message the next morning from the staff. However, the issue was never addressed with the noisy neighbor. Ask during check in about the cleaning service as the cleaning lady only cleaned our room when we were in the room."
