Absolutely loved our stay at Nantipa. Their staff is all amazing and so attentive. They truly care about their customers & every interaction we had with them was pleasant. They day we arrived it was my husbands birthday, they had a mini birthday cake waiting for us in our room. The day we were leaving they left us a little gift in our room & even offered to pack a breakfast box to go since we had to leave really early In the morning. It's details like this that make customers happy and want to return. Thank you all for making our stay here wonderful. Would recommend this place to anyone. 10000/10

Incredible Serenity in Santa Teresa

We stayed here at the end of our trip to Costa Rica. It was exactly what we were looking for. The property was calm and tranquil with lush green grounds and right on the beach. The staff was very friendly and personable. Gorgeous pool and very comfortable suites. We loved the yoga classes and spa. Don’t miss the sunset at Manzu, make sure you book a table in the sand. We hope to return!

Staff was amazing at this property and the overall vibe was wonderful. Amazing pool (I HATE pools but this one I had to go in). Hotel beachfront is one of the better and higher class feeling beachfronts in the immediate area. The room was very nice, cold A/C (central ac! hard to find in Costa Rica), and clean. Regarding the area, it was my first time in Santa Teresa. There are some great restaurants in the area but overall it felt like a sketchy town at night and very dusty/dirty due to the roads not being paved. I know this area has a great reputation for tourism which is why I wanted to check it out but it will probably be my last time in the area.

Great Property and Staff

Just returned from a recent stay at Hotel Nantipa. We have nothing but excellent things to say about the hotel and staff. The property is well maintained and the staff is extraordinary. What minor issues we had were handled promptly and professionally. We look forward to a return visit to this exceptional area.

Don’t hesitate BOOK!

The BEST hotel in Santa Teresa if not one of the best beach hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I extended my stay twice on the same vacation. The amazing and kind people make this place even better! The location is the best in the area and vibe / grounds are incredible. There is no other resort like this in the area. Walkable to everything and luxurious. The beds are the most comfortable of any hotel I’ve stayed in. Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed in a beach front bungalow and it was absolutely fabulous! The bungalow was very private with a pool and outdoor shower, all right on the beach. The beach in front to the bungalows is private and there was a security guard there the whole time keeping people moving on by. The staff did an amazing job with keeping the grounds clean and looking pretty. The room was spacious, modern and very clean! The food at the restaurant was good as well. 5 Stars all around! I hope to return again very soon.

Had an amazing experience for our honeymoon at Hotel Nantipa. Beautiful room and pool, very clean, and right on the beach. It's located right in the heart of Santa Teresa too so tons of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The concierge was also extremely helpful in booking activities.

The hotel is extremely nice and well maintained. The service, at the restaurant for example, could be a little better but the food is delicious. The hotel is small and there is only one pool, although very large, and one restaurant/ bar area on the beach. This is a very quiet resort and they do not offer spa or yoga services but overall, I would stay there again.
