Well-maintained hotel with great breakfast.
Clean, close enough to walk to town and beach, but far enough away to be quiet and private.

Bungalow with a super cool pool
Wonderful small hotel just 3 minutes outside of the town of Santa Teresa. My husband, my 10 year old son and I really appreciated being able to return to this quiet, lush, comfortable spot after a full day in town / at the beach / exploring the area. It is super convenient and has the best pool with great ambient music and cabanas with long curtains. Its not a resort-sized pool; more like the best backyard pool that you could imagine, surrounded by tropical beauty. Individual bungalows provide great privacy. Mattresses are firm with good pillows. Breakfasts are very good too. If the room had a small dresser to help us stay organized, it would be perfect. Other spots have direct beach access or ocean views. If that is not critical feature, this place is a dream.

Lovely setting close to town and the beach
Spent 5 days at this lovely quiet hotel. Staff was fantastic and very helpful.Very relaxing setting. Pool was a perfect size. Felt very safe. The breakfasts were amazing and delicious.

Amazing place and amazing people
We had a great time at The Place. Everyone there went out of the way to make our stay comfortable and helped with all our day trips and offered recommendations. The pool and courtyard were great after a day in the sun. We'd definitely go back.

We Found Our Bliss!
What a fantastic gem! Perfect location, beautiful rooms, absolutely WONDERFUL staff...it honestly could not be more perfect. My husband and I have been coming to the Nicoya Peninsula for years, and this is the first place we've stayed that brings together each detail we love about Costa Rica and this area. Bliss!

Little Paradise
What can I say apart that this is a great and lovely hotel. We had a perfect stay. The bungalows are absolutely charming; as is the hotel. The swimming pool and the garden are a little paradise and everything is clean and well maintained. You can even enjoy local product for shower. In addition the staff as well as the owner are very kind and always helpful. There is a large choice of breakfast. I highly recommend you to stay here; the place is quite and really peacefull and totally worth the moderate price; and to enjoy a cocktail by the pool. Thanks again to the staff for such nice welcome !

Perfect for what we needed
This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and our plan was to see as much of the area as possible! This hotel was perfect for that. The room was simple and had no TV, which we actually enjoyed not having. I'm petty certain our bed was two twin beds pushed together, because you could feel the seam, but it didn't hinder our sleep, we just laughed about it. The bathroom was clean and simple. The continental breakfast was also simple, but delicious. We ate it most days to save money. Each day we woke up, ate, and then left for the day only coming back to change to go back out for dinner. We did lounge by the pool a few times for an hour or so, just to recharge. The pool was small, but perfect for us to lounge beside. The ocean is a short walk away so the pool wasn't a big draw for us in the first place when booking. The staff were great, they greeted us each time we came and went, asking how our day was going. It was the perfect little oasis during our very busy time in Costa Rica :)

Fantastic people, wonderful location
From the moment we arrived at The Place everybody was so welcoming and helpful and this just kept getting better and better throughout our whole holiday. They answered all our questions and made sure that they helped us relax by getting the instructors and quad bikes etc to come to the hotel to make our lives easier. Mal Pais is an amazing place, full of variety and a true escape. We loved the surfing and the lessons. Renting the quad bikes was an ideal way to explore everything else that the area had to offer after our daily surf sessions ;) Will be coming back for sure!

Beautiful place!
The hotel isn't as pretty as in the pictures but its ok. Standard room had no tv. Internet was ok and breakfast was fruits, coffee and toast although it was a delicious bread. The staff is super nice, always willing to help. I had a great stay, my son liked it. I see my self going back there.

Pleasent stay, very helpful staff
Extremely helpful and pleasent hotel staff! One of my party lost their iphone and they went above and beyond to help retrieve it. Rooms are perfectly comfortable but not luxurious, but hopefully you won't be spending much time in your room anyway. Very close to the center of Santa Teresa with easy access to Playa del Carmen, surf shops, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice pool!
Great little place in Santa Teresa/Playa Carmen. We went at the end of the off season. Nov. so it was pretty empty hotel. The pool was great. Laid out at night drank wine and looked at the stars with no one around! The standard room was a bit small but really we were only there for one night and it had everything we needed. Bed. Shower. Air.
