Hotel Casa Chameleon Mal Pais - Adults Only

4.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (71)
"Beautifully appointed rooms with private plunge pool and view of ocean. Staff very courteous. Breakfasts included in rate were excellent. We ate dinner at the hotel most nights for convenience and because the food and service was good. The main drawback of this hotel is that it is too far away from Santa Teresa and the main beaches to walk so you need to book taxis ( $20 each way), rent an ATV or rent a car. "

Havana Lodge

2.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (28)
"We enjoyed Havana Lodge very much. The staff are very helpful and kind. The Desayuno (breakfast) is fabulous and large every day. Pets are very welcome. The gorgeous, tranquil, beach is less than 5 minutes away. There are many lovely places to eat nearby. We didn't use them. We enjoyed cooking in the well stocked and really nice kitchen. And the gas BBQ. The grounds are so tranquil and peaceful. We look forward to returning soon."

Blue Jay Lodge Costa Rica

2.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (23)
"The grounds were beautiful. Great community area (use of the kitchen too!) and pool. The owner was wonderful and very helpful. Right across from the ocean. If you go during the hottest months, be aware that the cabins have 3 mesh walls. We did not find this as a problem since there were 2 fans and quite comfortable in the evenings. Really, who spends too much time in their room on vacation anyway. That aside, the cabins are quite comfortable and have nice decks with hammocks."

"Having in mind that Santa Teresa and Mal País are surfers destinations most of the accommodations are hostels or very simple cabins, this hotel follows that style. Very simple rooms and equipment, the 4 bed "apartment" room was spacious and the kitchenette in the open balcony was nice. Close to the road coming from Cobano it's on walking distance of the banks and atms, supermarkets and several restaurants, and various beach access trails. Lots of international turists and the beaches are...

Tropical home in paradise!!

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (34)
"We had a fantastic time at Casa De Noni. The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with young kids (4-9), it was clean, well furnished, and Ruth was very responsive to all our requests and needs. The pool was great for kids, with afternoon shade, and evening lights that would keep them swimming for days on end. The house had great outdoor living space, a well furnished kitchen and A/C cooled bedrooms. The monkey deck was a hit for the kids to watch the troops of Monkeys pass by. The location...
