Other things to note IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEW VISITORS IN THE AREA! 🌴 Welcome to Planet Santa Teresa You’ve arrived in a wild little surf town in the jungle. This isn’t a city — it’s something better. But it comes with a few quirks. Here’s what you need to know: ⚡ Power & Water Power outages happen from time to time. No electricity = no water (it’s pumped), no WiFi, and no hot showers (they’re electric). It usually comes back in 10 minutes to 2 hours. During storms, it can take longer. Light a candle, go for a walk, and relax. ❄️ A/C Please turn off the A/C when you’re not home. Power here is precious. Overuse leads to overheating and power cuts. 🔒 Lock Up Always lock all doors and windows when you leave. If there’s a safe, we recommend using it for valuables. 🔥 Cooking with Gas Costa Rica has no gas pipelines — only propane tanks. They last a long time but can run out without warning. Don’t worry! We have spares and will help you switch them. 💡 Hot water runs on electricity, not gas. 🐜 Ants & Food Leaving food out = ants party on your snacks. Store everything inside the fridge or sealed containers. (No rush — they don’t show up instantly 😄) 🚽 Toilets Don’t flush toilet paper 🚫 There’s no drainage system in town. Use the bin next to the toilet. 🦎 Insects & Animals You might meet ants, geckos, lizards, spiders, mosquitoes, roaches, mice, bats, snakes, and maybe even a scorpion (not dangerous). They live here — we’re just visitors 🐾 🌺 Final Reminder You’re in a special place — raw, real, unforgettable. Be kind, stay open, and enjoy the jungle ride. Pura vida!

The place was flawless, beautifully clean, modern, and nice big rooms. Situated in a more remote looking area (almost like it the jungle), but also close enough to walk for 3 mins and you’re on the Main Street! Would definitely recommend & stay again!

Fijne plek. Alleen aan de voorkant gehorig met het voorbijgaande verkeer van 4x4s. Ook best veel licht in val bij het voorste kamertje van licht van de straat. Gordijnen bedekken niet het gehele raam. Verder was de ruimte perfect voor ons verblijf. Fijne ruimte.

Bastante céntrico. Se llega caminando a la playa, supermercados, restaurantes y demás. El espacio es amplio y muy limpio. Se ve que recientemente lo reformaron. La calle para llegar si es complicada así que lo mejor es llevar un carro alto. La entrada al parking está bastante empinada por lo que al final dejé el carro afuera. Mati estuvo muy atento durante mi estancia, me dejaron quedarme un poco después del check out para teletrabajar y fue de mucha ayuda. La cocina está bien equipada y las camas son muy cómodas. El A/C está en la sala pero igual el apartamento es fresco.

Die Unterkunft war super sauber, Betten bequem. Das Sofa ist aber nicht zum Schlafen geeignet. Mehr als zwei Leute gehen nur wenn man sich ein Bett teilt. Check in war super easy über Schlüsselfach an der Tür möglich. Auffahrt am besten nur mit höheren Auto. Gastgeber war super nett und wenn was gebraucht wurde, hat er es gleich gebracht. In der Küche war alles vorhanden was man braucht. Dusche war warm und konnte nach belieben eingestellt werden. Die Wohnung ist nur ein bisschen hellhörig.

Overall great stay, the place is a bit dark but you should be spending most of your time outside anyways.

Mati was very responsive and the home was clean and close to town. Be careful on the entrance to property gate i sprained my ankle badly on the uneven road.
