“A lovely place with great facilities and location, but less suitable if you are sensitive to noise due to both guests an”
A really nice place to stay with a great atmosphere. The pool was very relaxing and the shared kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The location is also very convenient and close to the town.

“We loved our stay, and would come again in a heart beat.”
We LOVED our stay. It was a little slice of paradise. Our bungalow was a great size, and was luxurious. We loved the key code locks as it meant we didn't need to worry about bringing a key to the beach or needing duplicate keys etc. The shared kitchen was perfect, so spacious, well equip and clean. We loved the pool, lovely and shady for the heat of the day. There is even storage for your surf boards rented from else where. There is a cafe just over the road serving food all day. There is also a bar/restaurant right down the road (100m) where you can enjoy sunset, margaritas and even rent surf boards by the day or for a couple of hours.

“Excellent place few steps from the beach”
Incredible place! We loved everything about it. So far the best place we stayed during our 3 week Costa Rica trip. The rooms are incredible. Everything was clean. The kitchen is a huge plus. There are only four bungalows, so it’s very privat. The hosts are very helpful and making sure your stay is as pleasant as possible :)

“Beautiful Location, great facilities. Loved our stay”
We moved from another accommodation to Blue Surf Sanctuary after deciding that we wanted to spend out last week somewhere nicer! This place did not disappoint. Its in a perfect location, and even though its located near the road, I found since its on the north end of the strip, it wasn't too bad and wasn't bothered by any traffic. The room was super spacious, we had the family room, so for just myself and my partner, it was more than enough and utilised the bunk bed for luggage etc. We loved the balcony with the hanging chairs. It was such a relaxed and chill vibe. The location near the beach was also perfect, really just a minute away, Can't beat it. The facilities were great, beautiful and large kitchen with a dining area. The pool area was also really lovely. Our host was also very accommodating, and if there was anything we needed, he was sure to help arrange it. Would love to come back and stay again!

“while the property was amazing. the highlight of this place is the staff. Fiona the owner takes guests happiness and wel”
location location location. this is the quieter end of the beach. there’s a super cool bar called roco mar right on the beach and the amazing Nami sushi just down the road and cafe social on the corner for breakfast. the beach here has a little rip to get you out back surfing and it’s a less crowded in the water. the property itself is exceptionally clean and well maintained. it’s four bungalows. they are in perfect condition with your own balcony and a cool little communal area. it makes for a real social space. and the pool is really well maintained.

“Cabanas are nice, but Santa Teresa disappointing.”
The rcabins are large and really cute, great balcony. It was clean. it’s nice that they have a kitchen to prepare your breakfast. they also gave a large fridge where you can put your food. Small pool, for cooling down. A lot of restaurants near by.

“Nice bungalows in an awesome location”
I really liked the location, at the quieter end of the beach, the ocean is close, with a super nice beach cafe - super sunset spot! The hotel itself is designed with taste, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable.
