Our place makes it easy to start your day by surfing, focus on your work when you need to, and enjoy the sunset in the evening. The space LOCATION We’re located in Playa Carmen, Santa Teresa South, just a 2-minute walk from the beach. In this part of the beach waves are perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers.

SUSTAINABILITY: As a local Costa Rican, deeply rooted in my town, I always keep in mind nature and sustainability and bring them into my accommodation.

Luis is the nicest, most accommodating host you can have. He will do anything possible to help you out and make your experience as easy as possible. The apartment is exactly as described, and perfectly centrally located. Highly recommended!!

We had a great stay here, strong AC, beautiful shared courtyard and Luis is awesome. Loved walking down and got to enjoy many restaurants nearby. A walkable spot in the city

My husband and I spent 5 weeks at Trebolmar, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The unit is upstairs with a nice view of the garden, has a really great layout, the kitchen area with table and chairs is separate enough from the bedroom, so we could each have enough space. We greatly appreciated the lovely cleaner Dani for making our room smell so lovely twice a week, such a bonus! Having access to clean drinking water and a shared washing machine was very useful. My husband is a surfer, so the location was perfect for him to walk across the road and reach the waves at Playa Carmen in 5 minutes. And in general the location is one of the best in Santa Teresa, easy walking distance to supermarkets, cafes, spectacular sunsets, everything you need. The property has 8 units, and everyone staying there was friendly. Luis is an exceptional host, he definitely looks after the place and every detail, he was quick to respond to any questions and was always helpful. We look forward to returning :)

Very comfortable, with good amenities and a beautiful back yard. I stayed for a little over three weeks, so I greatly appreciated the pantry cabinet. Parking is easy and safe. Luis is both proactive and highly responsive; any question I sent was answered within the hour, and typically much faster. The desk is large and well-placed and the internet is consistently good, even in the midst of torrential rainstorms. There are lots of good restaurants in walking distance. Tours and vehicle rentals are easy to get to. The beach nearby isn't great for swimming, but I hear it's highly recommended for surfers, and it's also nice to walk along. The main road through Santa Teresa is busy and heavy on the exhaust fumes, but none of that reaches the apartment despite how close it is. I was able to see iguanas and agouti from the back yard. A friendly local cat also stops by frequently. Sunday brunch at Drift is great when it's available. Overall, a great place to stay and highly recommended.

really great for a longer stay! Has everything you need incl water and laundry. Tremendous green space too 😄

Luis is a great host, very quickly responds, helpful with recommendations, etc ..

Super cute, close to the beach, restaurants, supermarkets, I loved it!

Súper lindo, cercano a la playa, restaurantes, supermercados, me encantó!

Great place and great host! Room was tidy and the kitchen had all the necessary tools. Location is right across the beach. Luis went the extra mile as a host. Can recommend with both hands!

Perfect place in Santa Teresa. Located five minutes walk to everything important, including the beach. Luis and his family are perfect, very friendly and very helpful hosts. The place was super clean and has charm. Thank you for everything!

Perfekter Ort in Santa Teresa. Liegt fünf Gehminuten von allem wichtigen entfernt, auch vom Strand. Luis und seine Familie sind perfekte, sehr freundliche und sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war super sauber und hat Charme. Vielen Dank für alles!

The stay at this Airbnb was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The place is very nice, clean, super cozy, and perfectly located. Luis is an awesome host, very friendly, and kind, provided us with all the necessary and useful information. I will book this Airbnb again! Thank you ☺️🙏

Amazing space, our room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The cleaners are amazing, everything was spotless. The garden outside is awesome, we really enjoyed having breakfast out there, and hanging out at the end of the day. Just wish we had stayed here longer!

You can book Luis' place without fear! Thoughtful and kind host, great location, spacious and clean bedroom and bathroom. Since we only stayed 2 nights, we didn't cook, but the kitchen felt very complete. Thanks Luis!

Pode reservar o espaço do Luis sem medo! Anfitrião atencioso e gentil, localização excelente, quarto e banheiro espaçosos e limpos. Como só ficamos 2 noites, não cozinhamos, mas a cozinha pareceu bem completa. Obrigada Luis!

Very helpful. Great place to stay. Super close to beaches. But also quiet.

We truly loved staying at Trebolmar for six weeks. Both my husband and I are working remotely, and this place is perfect. Great wifi, fully equipped kitchen, amazing garden with hammocks to chill out and people… Luis is a super friendly host. He gave us many local tips and useful information. He made us feel at home since day 1 - we truly appreciated this sense of comfort after a long travel from Europe. Luis’s Mum is great too - so kind and friendly; she showed us how to prepare a couple of authentic, local dishes, which was a great, unique experience. Luis and his Mum are some of the best hosts we’ve ever had on Airbnb! The location of the Airbnb is great - close to the main road, restaurants, and shops, and only 2 min walk to the beach, but it’s very quiet, so you can’t hear the bustle of the main street. While having breakfast in the garden, we could watch so many hummingbirds, colorful butterflies, and iguanas - a real paradise. I strongly recommend staying at Luis’s place!

The space is incredibly well cared for, with a contagious and pleasant energy. The room is super clean, great mattress, great place to work, super good internet! All I have to say is thank you to Luis and all his team, who left us very well equipped here in Santa Teresa. If you're looking for the best Airbnb in the area, the best is Luis' place! Very quiet, close to the beach, cozy, large apartment, and still to improve everything, the owner's concern for the environment is clearly noted. Super important that. Thanks Luis and the entire cleaning and management team of the space.

O espaço é incrivelmente bem cuidado, com uma energia contagiante e agradável. O quarto é super limpo, ótimo colchão, ótimo espaço para trabalhar, internet super boa! Só tenho a agradecer ao Luis e toda sua equipe que nos deixaram muito bem equipados aqui em Santa Teresa. Se você está procurando o melhor Airbnb na região, o melhor é o espaço do Luis! Muito tranquilo, perto da praia, aconchegante, apartamento grande, e ainda pra melhorar tudo, nota-se claramente a preocupação do proprietário com o meio ambiente. Super importante isso. Obrigado Luis e toda a equipe de limpeza e administração do espaço.

Luis's place was very functional, clean, and easily accessible. Luis and his team were very welcoming! We recommend it.

Le logement de Luis était très fonctionnel, propre et facilement accessible. Luis et son équipe étaient très accueillant ! Nous recommandons.

It was all as it should be. Good communication, clear instructions and even a slightly larger room. Luis was always reachable. Price/performance was outstanding. Smooth 5 stars.

Es war alles in Summe so wie es sein muss. Gute Kommunikation, klare Anweisungen und sogar noch ein etwas größeres Zimmer. Luis war immer erreichbar. Preis/Leistung war ach hervorragend. Glatte 5 Sterne.

Perfect for working remote. Clean, safe, great location. Nice to have a kitchen and laundry available. Very clean and well maintained.

It is a very nice and comfortable place. Close to the beach. If you are looking for surfing🏄‍♀️, it has space to leave the boards and remove the excess sand, plus a very close place to rent equipment I highly recommend 👌🏻 it. This is a safe and pleasant environment💓. Luis' mom is very kind 😊 thanks for everything. ✨

Es un lugar muy bonito y cómodo. Cercano a la playa. Si buscas surf 🏄‍♀️, tiene espacio para dejar las tablas y quitarte el exceso de arena, además de un lugar muy cercano para arrendar equipo 👌🏻 lo recomiendo totalmente. Es un ambiente seguro y grato💓 . La mamá de Luis es muy amable 😊 gracias por todo. ✨

Surprised at how well everything was run. Had a great stay!

I’ve been coming to Santa Teresa for years and this is the best place I’ve stayed. Great hosts, very friendly, responsive and helpful with anything you need. Fast internet, one block from the ocean, close to town/restaurants/supermarket. We stayed for over a month and the only regret was having to leave and not being able to take Goa with us.  See you next year!

good value given the expensive prices of Santa Teresa. Close to everything easily and the host responds quickly if needed. Perfect little separate kitchen

bon rapport qualité-prix vu les prix dispendieux de Santa Teresa. Près de tout facilement et l'hôte répond rapidement au besoin. Parfaite petite cuisine séparée

The apartments are comfortable, very clean and well equipped . They are located near the beach. They are also friendly to the environment.  I definitely enjoyed my stay very much.

Los apartamentos son confortables, muy limpios y bien equipados . Se localizan cerca de la playa .Además son amigables con el medio ambiente.  Sin duda disfrute mucho mi estadía.

A great place to stay. Perfect location for walking to the beach or walking to some of the best restaurants in town. Lots of private parking space available. The room was amazingly clean and had a great scent. The only trouble I had was the WiFi they assigned me never worked. I used the one for someone else's room. I did not see the host in person but he sent some surfing lesson recommendations on request by text. Only was there 1 night but perfect for exploring Santa Theresa.

Idealy located, clean, safe. I had a great time at Luis' property! It was the perfect spot to spend a month to work and surf in Santa Teresa. Well sheltered from the cacophony of the main street while being close to everything, especially from the beautiful beach of Playa Carmen which is only 5 minutes walk away. The appartment is well maintained and a cleaning service is avaible as much as you want. It is also very pleasant to cook as the kitchen is well equipped with many appliances, all clean and in great conditions. Another highlight is the high speed internet which was reliable and available over the whole property. Luis and his family are great hosts! They are communicative, genuine and they do everything possible to make you feel like home. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our stay, great location for our dog!

Great location with easy access to the beach, yet secluded from the noise from the main road. Very good internet connection if you need for meetings and wfh. Highly recommended!!

Superbly clean, greatly located within 5 minutes of the beach and supermarkets and restaurants. Big gated parking. Well equipped place with everything advertised working fine. Luis was is contact with us to ensure the stay was smooth. Will come back when I come back to Santa Teresa, no doubt about it

Luis was a great host and the lodging was everything we expected/hoped for.

Luis’ place is perfect for remote workers while in Santa Teresa. Quiet atmosphere and very fast internet! Luis was very attentive, quick to respond, and very communicative throughout my stay. Another plus is there’s a washing machine on-site which makes things even more convenient. You’re close to beach access, groceries and restaurants are nearby. Highly recommend!

I loved my stay here! Luis and the staff are amazing and so helpful, accommodating, and caring. You can’t get a better location, right across the street from the beach and so close to restaurants and stores. The ATVs on the main road are loud, but I never heard them once from the apartment. I’m working remote 40+ hours a week and the wifi was amazing and super fast. The power goes out in Santa Teresa every now and then, and Luis had a backup router to use incase that happened. Seriously can’t recommend this place enough!

We had a really lovely stay with Luis he was such a nice guy. Super helpful with organizing our trip and had a lot of recommendations. The apartment was very well equipped especially the kitchen had everything you need. The garden area is really beautiful with a lot of nice flowers and hummingbirds and hammocks. There’s even a washing machine you can use. Would definitely recommend to stay there!

I stayed at Trebolmar for two weeks while working remotely and I could not recommend it more. The Internet was excellent for my video calls to the US, the apartment was kept spic and span with regular cleaning, and I could walk to the beach in 5 minutes (the sunsets were amazing). What truly made my stay special was Luis and Omar, who were excellent hosts. They take the time to speak to all the guests, understand their interests, and give thoughtful recommendations on things to do and how to get around (no Ubers in this neck of the woods). Luis even set me up with a surf instructor! The personalized recommendations let me maximize my time in Santa Teresa when I wasn’t working, instead of spending my time doing research. I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs a quiet, reliable place to work and wants to make the most of their location.

Trebolmar was just the perfect place to stay at. Location is very convenient as it’s super close to the main road, beaches, supermarkets and restaurants. Our apartment was well equipped, nice decoration and super clean. I would stay here again.

Trebolmar's apartments have all the essentials to enjoy a vacation or work, as it has a very good internet connection! We really liked that the room was clean and they always kept it like this during the days we were there! Luis is an excellent host, he welcomed us and gave us details we should know about the place and shared locations of beaches and places we could visit. The apartments have a very good location, close to supermarkets, restaurants and the beach, and from there you can move to other places, such as Montezuma or Manzanillo. A special mention that they are committed to nature, through the treatment of their guests' waste! Without a doubt, I recommend Trebolmar as an excellent option when visiting Santa Teresa.

Los apartamentos de Trebolmar tienen todo lo esencial para disfrutar de unas vacaciones o para trabajar, ya que tiene una muy buena conexión de Internet! Nos gustó mucho que la habitación estaba limpia y la mantuvieron siempre así durante los días que estuvimos! Luis es un excelente anfitrión, nos recibió y dio detalles que debíamos conocer del lugar y nos compartió ubicaciones de playas y lugares que podíamos visitar. Los apartamentos tienen una muy buena ubicación, cerca de supermercados, restaurantes y playa, además desde allí, se puede trasladar a otros lugares, como Montezuma o Manzanillo. Una mención especial a que están comprometidos con la naturaleza, por medio del tratamiento a los desechos de sus huéspedes! Sin duda alguna, recomiendo Trebolmar como una excelente opción cuando visites Santa Teresa.

Perfect location! very accommodating hosts, incredibly clean and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Would recommend to any one coming through Santa Teresa!

Great spot, clean, spacious and quiet. You find there everything what is needed to stay even longer in Santa Teresa.

We had a great stay at Luis apartment and would definitely stay here again. The internet is fast and the place is a great find in the middle of Santa South.

Incredible place, fantastic host, brilliant people. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Luis made us feel so welcome and was always on hand to help with absolutely anything. The apartments are a little community and everyone wants to go out of their way for you. Set a little away from Santa Teresa's main Street, Trebolmar offers tranquil respite. Would 100% recommend.

I chose to stay at this place for 3 weeks, which half of the time I was working remotely, and I can say this is a great place for workcations. Internet connection was good, comfortable spaces in the backyard to either sit and focus or have calls without bothering others or being bothered. All the beautiful birds and small animals makes you company while you work are definitely a plus. The appartment is fully equipped, and I honestly felt at home in Santa Teresa. Place is cleaned twice a week and everything is thoughtfully put in place for you. The host is always available for you in case you need something and it's a super nice guy. The best host I've ever had! The place is very well located, with a bunch of nice restaurants, groceries and close to the beach. Overall, I'm very glad that I decided to be there!

Fantastic location, very close to the best restaurants in town. Luis is extremely friendly and does everything to make your stay pleasant. One of the friendliest hosts we‘ve come across. The outside area is beautiful and always tidy and clean. Cleaning staff in general does a great job.

Couldn’t more highly recommend this place. From the moment we arrived Luis was very helpful and attentive and treated us like friends. It is in a great location, easy walking right to the beach and the super markets. And the garden and outdoor space is beautiful, cleaning service is wonderful, and Goa is the most special dog you have ever met. Trebolmar is the place to stay

Everything is very good, the apartment is very clean, comfortable. Very central a few steps from downtown Playa Carmen, a well-stocked grocery store, and access to the beach very close by. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare food. Strict cleaning to comply with anti-covic protocols. Luis is very friendly, always attentive.

Todo muy bien, el apartamento muy limpio, confortable. Muy céntrico a pocos pasos del centro de Playa Carmen, a la par un surpermecado bien surtido, y el acceso a la playa muy cerca. La cocina bien equipada para preparar alimentos. Limpieza estricta para cumplir con protocolos contra el Covic. Luis muy amable, siempre atento.

Luis’s place is great for short or long stays, it’s got a great location and the apartment is well equipped, the common areas are great too. Definitely coming back to Santa Teresa and to Luis’s place. Very recommended!

Luis and the apartment were great. I spent a month, working remotely, and everything was perfect. Internet was very good, cleaning was great, good location, and convenient to have the outdoor quiet space. Would happily stay again.

Everything is great? Location, cleanness, communication, amenities, safety, etc. Luis is one of the best Airbnb hosts I've met.

We loved our stay with Luis, couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable, clean, and well-maintained space. The room has everything we needed, including full kitchen and bathroom, and much-needed AC. There’s private parking space and the location is a bit away off main road so there’s no street noise. It’s also well-isolated from neighbors so there’s no noise to disturb sleep. We ended up going to bed around 10pm and waking up naturally with sunlight.

Luis and his mom Yanira were extraordinary hosts. We felt like family. Upon arrival Lewis helped us with our bags and then sat down for an orientation to the area of Santa Teresa giving us inside information on beaches and restaurants and things to do. Luis and his mother were there every day tending to the property and the guests. They were very kind to us. His mom had fresh flowers in our room every day. She helped my wife cook some beans overnight and brought her favorite seasonings to share. We had a few minor problems and Lewis resolved them the same day!

The value for money is great. The accommodation is centrally located but rather quiet, which we found very good. Luis has designed the garden for a beautiful oasis of peace. The bathroom was modern. It was all very clean and practical in the apartment. Luis is a really very nice, friendly and helpful host. We felt in good hands.

Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist spitze. Die Unterkunft liegt zentral aber eher ruhig, was wir sehr gut fanden. Den Garten hat Luis zu einer schönen Ruheoase gestaltet. Das Badezimmer war modern eingerichtet. Es war alles sehr sauber und praktisch im Appartment. Luis ist ein wirklich sehr netter, freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Wir haben uns gut aufgehoben gefühlt.

I have enjoyed the hospitality of Yanira and Luis again, and also, with the pleasant surprise of seeing how they have improved their facilities, both with the offer of a pleasant rest space and in the approach of environmental sustainability that they are giving to their business. Congratulations. Highly recommended.

He vuelto a disfrutar de la hospitalidad de Yanira y Luís, y además, con la agradable sorpresa de ver como han mejorado sus instalaciones, tanto con la oferta de un agradable espacio de descanso, como en el enfoque de sostenibilidad medioambiental que están dando a su negocio. Enhorabuena. Muy recomendable.

Great location. Very clean and supernice apartments! We had a great stay! Highly recommended.

Luis was a very thoughtful host . The place is clean and is located well . Recommended

Marker UP TO here Improved our experience in Santa Teresa remarkably, we had a very nice vacation thanks to the hospitality provided by Luis and his mother. Always attentive to what we need. We recommend the accommodation to anyone who visits Santa Teresa.

Mejoro nuestra experiencia en Santa Teresa notablemente, pasamos unas vacaciones muy lindas gracias a la hospitalidad brindada por Luis y por su madre. Siempre atentos a lo que necesitamos. Recomendamos el alojamiento a toda persona que visite Santa Teresa.

Luis is an outstanding host!! I really enjoyed my stay! The apartment was clean, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioner!!, nice bathroom/shower, fast internet, beautiful yard, and in a great location! Best apartment in Santa Teresa!! Thanks Luis for making my stay so easy and enjoyable!

They welcomed us very well, it is a very attentive family, they give total privacy and the conditions of the accommodation are unbeatable (clean, kitchen with everything you need, a very well-kept garden, comfortable bed, hot water in the shower...). Everything is very close and the place is very nice. It's worth it.

Nos recibieron muy bien, es una familia muy atenta, dan total privacidad y las condiciones del alojamiento son inmejorables (limpio, cocina con todo lo necesario, un jardín muy cuidado, cama cómoda, agua caliente en la ducha...). Está todo muy cerca y el sitio es muy bonito. Merece la pena.
