Esencia Hotel and Villas

"This is a solid, comfortable hotel and exactly what you’d hope for at this price point. Clean rooms, air conditioning that actually works, a decent pool, and overall great value for the money. No complaints there. But what really put this place over the top was Luis, the hotel manager. From the start, he had that calm, cool, trustworthy energy — helped in no small part by the fact that he was wearing an Atticus Finch shirt. At that moment I thought, “Alright… this is clearly a man of character.” Sure enough, after I had already left the hotel, Luis personally texted me with a photo of my Kindle and a very expensive pair of glasses I’d accidentally left behind. Luckily, I had my phone number written on the back of the Kindle (this was, unfortunately, the second time I’ve lost it), which made getting in touch easy. No drama, no hesitation — just pure honesty and kindness. Thanks to him (and a friendly fellow guest who helped with the handoff), everything made it safely back to me. Any tiny issue anyone could ever have with a hotel completely disappears when you’re treated like that. Luis restored my faith in humanity, and that alone makes this a five-star stay. I’d absolutely come back."

Arjau Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

"Impeccable. This boutique hotel is a gem! From the enormous contemporary rooms, to the quality of the linens, to the attention from the lovely Spanish owners Antonia & Carmel. We truly wish we could have stayed here longer. Carmel always had great suggestions on what to do and where to go, which was so helpful. The hotel is situated super conveniently just steps from Santa Teresa beach. With many delicious restaurants, coffee shops and cute boutiques at a walking distance. Delicious breakfast was made for us every morning. And for a very affordable fee, Carmel made us authentic Spanish lobster paella on our second night, it was truly spectacular! We were also able to wash clothes, which was so convenient for us since we still had some more traveling to do in gorgeous Costa Rica. With 4 well appointed suites, delicious daily breakfast and a pool, we will be back with family soon. Highly HIGHLY recommend Arjau Boutique Hotel for your stay in Santa Teresa. Un millón de gracias a Carmel y Antonia por todas sus atenciones. Muchas bendiciones."
