Quiet and cozy place

It is an older hotel but the casita was clean, bed and pillow were comfortable and the A/C worked. The hotel staff emailed us with the gate code and when we arrived the staff directed us to our room. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance from us but we did rent an ATV to tour the rest of the town. We are never in our room so it was great for us.

Zula Inn Santa Teresa is a truly special place that makes you feel at home while on vacation. Rotem, the host, goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best stay possible. The location is perfect—close to restaurants and the beach, so there’s no need to rent an ATV or car. Additionally, they have an excellent restaurant offering delicious Mediterranean food. The hospitality was so warm and welcoming that I even cleared my own table after the meal because I felt right at home! 10 stars for the place, and 100 stars for the feeling it gives you. Thank you, Zula Inn, and thank you, Rotem! Highly recommended.

Loved staying at Zula Inn. Family of 4 with small kids 9&5 yrs old. We stayed for 4 nights and ot was just wonderful. Super comfy and spotlessly clean. Rooms provide all utensils you need to stock up on groceries and do your thing. We decided to eat out every meal and there are mulyiple options near by. My favorite part...After a sun baked day at the beach with an amazing sunset (5-8 min walk) walking into a cooled A/C clean room with all cleaned and beds made 😎. Of course dont forget the nighly deep in the pool before calling it a night with the kids. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Emma

Great location, close to everything in Santa Teresa. Room was tired and outdated but clean. Door would not lock from the inside which as a solo female traveller, made me feel unsafe. Anyone could have opened the door and got in. Couldn’t get the shower to run hot water. Loud music could be heard from another venue nearby which impacted sleep. Confusing communication about check in (there is no staff on site).

Perfect location, great value, loved it!

We can't say enough good things about Zula Inn, located right in the heart of the Santa Teresa area. Rotem, Avi and the entire staff were very friendly, outgoing and very responsive to any needs we had. The property has private "bungalows" with apartment amenities, stocked kitchens, etc but also offers daily cleaning service, fresh linens, towels, etc. It's the best of both worlds. The AC worked great (not always the case around here). Free coffee and tea is available all day. The owners also own a great restaurant down the street and offer a discount to guests of the hotel. It was a perfect stay and we hightly recommend it. Almost forgot to mention the best part... 2 adorable dogs (Tica and Tiny) for the dog lovers out there. We loved them and were sad to leave. Thanks everyone for a great stay!

Puravida all the way

We spend 2 days/ 2 nights at Zula. Its a very relaxing place, we could literally do whatever we felt like. Owner was super laid back. We could use the pool as late as we felt like, drinks were available payments based on trust. I loved the gardens, pool was nice enough. The rooms were well equipped and cleaned. The bedroom sheets and towels were super old, so if fine linen is a must for you bring your own ;). Location is great, we'll definately go back.
