The villa was super cute, very clean, and the area very walkable. They had security as well, which was an added plus. Two things that could be improved— internet speed was ridiculously slow or nonexistent at times. I also asked for an iron at 6pm and they just told me, sorry housekeeping is gone until tomorrow. So the service lacked a bit there…

One major problem was the bed bugs, they were very bad. It almost ruined our trip, and it might still if we can’t get them out of our luggage.

The hotel is located in what is probably the best part of town, with relatively easy access to a good surf point (it's still a walk and a half to get to the water, but that's always the case unless you are right on the beach).
Rooms are large, but their age shows. Showers offer either good water flow or hot water, but not both. I had to basically hike to my room that was located at the top of the hill. The hotel lacks the charm and cool factor of Somos, that's right next door. It is across the street from the only "disco" in town, but the place seemed to be a bit of a dive.
The hotel doesn't offer late checkout at all, which I found problematic.

Nice, neat little property. Stayed in small hotel room. Clean with simple and pleasing teak decor and tended grounds. A/C and patio or porch with chairs, table and hammock. Staff has been kind and helpful. Not a resort. A good value. Enjoyable pool area. Close to restaurants. Short walk to beach.

The property was beautiful, Beds and pillows were comfortable. I had a coffee maker and fridge in the room. Had a Hammock on our front deck to lay in. Pool was fantastic. Would gladly stay there again.

Sweet bungalow with kitchenette. Nice décor and porch with teak furniture and hammock. Attractive pool area, and restaurants within short walk. The air conditioning makes for good sleeping as it’s hot and humid. Staff has been warm and welcoming.

I LOVED my stay at Esencia. The people were absolutely amazing that worked there. Very friendly, helpful, and kind. The property itself is in the most perfect location - right across the street from the beach, walking distance to everything, and was clean and wonderful. I very much enjoyed my stay there.

This is a unique town with a very laid back vibe. We loved the ease of it all. The only down side was that the room did not have an iron or hangers (we were there for a wedding).
The front desk Clerk Annabelle was wonderful and very helpful.

The property was nice. We traveled with young kids and liked having the private villas and the pool was very nice. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The beds were very firm and made sleeping through the night difficult. There is a noisy night club near by that goes late into the night but the villa keeps most the noise out. I think if the beds were more comfortable we would never even had known how late the night clubs run. Like most of Santa Teresa there is a dirt road out front which during the rain season is very muddy. But the beach is a very short walk away. Overall this stay was okay.

Staff was very friendly, parking was convenient, and the property was clean. Our only issue was that we had the villa closest to the street. This wouldn’t have been a problem accept for the fact that there is a disco tech right across the street. The loud music and crowds on the street kept us up late into the night (or should I say early morning?) There were also restaurants on both sides that played live music late into the night.
The villas set further back on the property may not have experienced this problem.
