10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved my stay at Banana Beach in Santa Teresa! 🌴🌊✨ Such an incredible place with the most amazing vibes, beautiful energy, and a relaxed, tropical atmosphere. Everything about it captures the magic of Costa Rica. The beach, the ambiance, the people, and the overall experience made my stay truly special. A little slice of paradise filled with pura vida energy! 🦋🌺☀️ Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! 🤍✨"

10/10 Excellent
"Always my go to place to stay if it’s available. Wonderful staff, food and location! I love that I can never leave the resort but still have an amazing time after it rained the entire time my previous visit. And even better to come back to after a day out playing in the area and relaxing on the beach for sunset while enjoying one of their many cocktails. It is also reassuring to see the same people working there year after year."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at Tango Mar. The owner always greeted us each day to see how we were or how our day was. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! I took advantage of the spa and had an incredible massage. Gorgeous views of the ocean right out your window and the multiple pools to cool off in with the heat. Swimming beaches were a short drive away if you wanted to swim in the ocean."
