Nala is close to action without being in the main road trafic. The environnement is really nice and we loved the look of the place. The room has a coded door so no need to bring a key to the beach.

Noice was an issue for us. The rear neighors have a mini farm with many roosters that wake you up at around 5 am. We could also periodically hear upstairs and next door neighbors at night.

it’s an amazing place to stay! and the staff is incredible

sometimes the gate did not work

We had a blackout and the hotel did not have any emergency lighting on the property or flashlights I’m the rooms. It was pitch black darkness for hours.

Great place, very relaxed and outstanding service!

very pretty and good Desing place, the rooms big and comfortable and really new the pool is clean and very nice overall good place to stay in Santa teresa

a little bit expensive for hostel there’s a little bit of a problem with the entrance because of the road but it’s not something that really affects us

With a beautiful and modern design, the studio was very well situated, close to the beach and shops.

The road to access the studio was a bit difficult but could easily be improved.

Room size, cleanliness.

The Nala property was absolutely perfect for our trip to Santa Teresa; the gardens were well maintained and the suites perfect for our needs as a couple. We felt secure the whole time and appreciated the digital locking mechanisms. Absolutely we will be considering Nala for our next trip to Santa Teresa. Pura Vida!

Not to criticize, but rather offer a suggestion: I do wish we had more hangers in the room as well as additional hooks/racks to hang wet clothes etc.

Nala is closely located to the beach, mini market and has many great restaurants at walking distance as well as breakfast / cafes. The suite was fantastic. Enough space to spread out over the living room. Great quality beds, double glazing. Nice Rain shower. Well equipped kitchen for cooking although with all the nearby restaurants, you don't have to. Finished to highest standards throughout. Even without a hirecar we could either walk or get taxi transfers to get where we wanted. Jessi, the concierge/manager was amazing in catering to our every question and request. Taxis, transfers, local information, tours, restaurant recommendations you name it, it was sorted in no time. She was always reacheable and responsive. Raoul and Reyna kept the place immaculately clean and were always on hand for an extra towel and keeping the pool area spotless. Well done to David and the team for creating such a calm and luxurious haven in the centre of surfer dominated Santa Teresa. Catch it whilst you can.

Nothing! Prices and development in the area is on the rise, so catch the relaxed natural vibe whilst you can.

property was quite clean, modern, great location. It was it was evident that they took a lot of pride in the property. communication was exceptional!!

Driveway could use more structural support.

Such a beautiful design living. An oasis in Santa Teresa.

We were unlucky that two of the rooms were occupied with extremely arrogant and load people who completely took over the pool area, smoking under non-smoking signs and having party around the pool all night. These rude people acted as true occupants and followed no rules or took any notice that there were other guests also staying here. Luckily the owners took action and asked these arrogant people to leave. Thank you for that! Probably these occupants can give an other opinion about this place bit you should not take any notice about this. This is a great place to stay in Santa Teresa!

Stunning apartments and pretty pool area with garden. Staff super helpful and very communicative via WhatsApp before and during stay to help with taxis etc. Location great, 5 mins from beach, cafes and restaurants. Would highly recommend!

Nice and quiet place, big and comfortable rooms. Great staff.

I have to start by saying that Jessi was the most AMAZING host from start to finish. She answered all of my questions, sent me links, helpful information, and was a total delight. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate her and all that she did for me! She will communicate with you thru WhatsApp and even reached out ahead of time to help me plan, booking cars, tours, or anything I needed… she’s a queen!! She is so fast to respond to anything and everything and was a total delight. About the room and place-I want to give some honest feedback for anyone who hasn’t been here: -Self-check-in with keypad lock on door and secure property with keypad gated entrance. Great A/C, hot shower, and good WiFi. Coffee maker in room, fresh and plentiful towels, and privacy curtains. VERY clean and the property is well maintained! And everyone who worked at the property was very kind. -Take advantage of their shampoo and conditioner and lotion and skip packing it. Also, there is an outdoor shower and bathroom, which is great. -There is a small outdoor kitchen with a full-sized fridge with freezer if you want to buy ice or store larger bottles that don’t fit in the mini fridge in the room. -Ground floor benefits- close to the pool. I had amazing neighbors who weren’t loud but it’s not a very soundproof place so if you have loud upstairs neighbors or loud people by the pool, you’ll likely hear them. -The bed was a very firm mattress. Not my cup of tea but not the worst or most uncomfortable. Food and getting around: -It is def 4-wheel drive location- that means walking too. If you aren’t prepared for some uneven terrain and a bit of a steep incline, this is not the spot for you. -That being said- there is a ton nearby that you can walk to. The beach, restaurants, and the best part, a market. With food, drinks, toiletries, and some other helpful things (water bottles, flip flops, plates, etc. bring your own bag or a backpack!)

This isn't actually negative, I just ran out of room above! Food spots: Walkable: (from the big hill road leading to the hotel) go left. The bakery is about a 3 min walk. It’s good and reasonable $ but crowded at times. Drift was my favorite place- turn right at the bottom of the hill, go past the market- 5-10 min walk. El carmen, to the left 10 min walk- gorgeous view and huge variety of food. El Tercer Ojo- 1 min walk- to the left of the big hill road- great food. If you fly into Liberia, I highly recommend taking a small charter plane through Sansa to get to Tambor airport (40 mins from Nala). The flight had gorgeous views and was only 40 mins and around $100. Going back to LIR, I used tropical Tours shuttle which was about a 5-hour drive and wasn’t awful and is around $50. I prefer the plane! Other info: -It’s clear here that travelers want to be safe. Fanny packs or close-to-the-chest bags are common and if you have a purse you look like a weirdo. I traveled alone and felt pretty safe but I didn’t stay out late since I would have felt a bit unsafe walking alone at night- If I had a car, I would have felt fine at night. -Masks? Do they wear them? Yes. Public places or stores require. -Covid: traveling to CR- you didn’t have to test prior (when I went in Dec). I did anyway. Fill out the health pass and get the mobile passport app- bring a copy of your vaccine record. When you are at the airport, they check all documents and give you a stamp on your boarding pass. Leaving CR: everywhere said to be to the airport 3-4 hours ahead… esp if you have to Covid test there- which you need an appt for. Plan ahead and book the test at your hotel if possible to avoid that part- Jessi will help you! There are only certain “test-at-home" options approved- be sure to check.

Nala is wonderful! I loved everything about it! Perfect right down the smallest detail! I really enjoyed all areas of this beautiful place: Pool and pool area was beautiful with its comfortable sunchairs and a hammock. I loved the garden and at night you can see the stars. Apartment was amazing: modern and it has been cleaned every day. Bathroom and shower are spacious and pure luxury. The kitchen had everything I needed. I spent a lot of time on the balcony reading or working enjoying the view and most comfortable chairs. Also loved the detail that the door opens with a code and no keys were needed when I was going for surf. Nala is so near to everything: beach, restaurants and the main road. So many good restaurants around it, a supermarket around the corner. But back at Nala you dont hear anything - there was no noise, no rush, location is perfect. Also a big compliment to the hosts - they do their job with so much passion, I felt very welcome and enjoyed the stay so much. Thank you gor having me and I definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Nala. The room was amazing, very spacious and really well equipped. Wifi was very fast so I could get some work done. Facilities were great, both the pool and the work out space which actually had a pull-up & a dip bar (very useful for not losing all your gains while on vacation :)). The host and staff were great, unfortunately we had a car accident during our stay but everybody was very helpful in getting it sorted (special shout-out to Jessi!). Would highly recommend Nala if you are visiting Santa Teresa.

Extremely well organized and maintained… Can only highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Nala, it truely is a special place and has been beautifully designed. We wish we could have stayed for longer. Things we loved: - extra towels provided in the bathroom - Self check-in is so convenient - The kitchen is well equipped to cook yummy meals - The yoga/workout space with weights provided is great - Being able to make coffee in the morning with the plunger - The PDF docs with directions were really helpful and the recommendations were great, we tried a few places and can confirm they were amazing - David the host is very helpful and quick to respond, it was much appreciated! Highly recommend Nala!
