Hi! I’m Luis, and I manage Trebolmar. After five years hosting digital nomads, I know how important it is to have reliable internet when you’re working remotely. That’s why we set up a mesh Wi-Fi network with three providers—two fiber-optic and Starlink—reaching up to 400 Mbps. Every router has battery backup, so you won’t miss a single video call or meeting. 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. All the essentials—bars, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, gyms, and coworking spaces—just a short walk away. 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. Here, you’ll also have the chance to contribute by composting, recycling, and using a water filter so you don’t need to buy plastic bottles. In our laundry and cleaning supplies, we also use mostly natural and biodegradable products. PROPERTY DETAILS Our garden is one of my favorite spots—it has shared work tables and hammocks where you can either focus or connect with other travelers. Trebolmar has 8 apartments, all side by side, with spacious gated parking. This unit is located upstairs and is set up for long stays, with its own kitchen, private bathroom, and access to the shared laundry. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed (1.5m x 2m), a comfortable chair for long work hours, and an extra monitor to make working easier. The AC unit is in the bedroom, but it cools down the whole space nicely. Guest access - Common areas, hammocks, and co-working tables. - Secure and easily accessible parking. No 4x4 needed. - Free shared washing machine. - Water purification filter. Other things to note CLEANING SERVICE: Housekeeping is provided twice a week, not on a daily basis.

Thanks to Luis for this excellent place to stay. A beautiful place, surrounded by nature, where you can breathe in peace. I would definitely go back to this place. Luis's service was wonderful; he was very attentive and communicative.

Gracias a Luis por esta excelente opción para hospedarse. Lugar hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza en la cual se respira paz. Sin duda alguna volvería a este lugar. La atención de Luis ha sido maravillosa, muy atento y comunicativo.

It was an exceptionally good stay. Luis took great care of us and found an excellent solution to a misunderstanding. It was clean and very quiet at night. Beautiful outdoor area with a table and hammocks. Washing machine available, which also worked out just fine. We would stay there again. It was great.

Es war ein äusserst guter Aufenthalt. Luis hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert und eine sehr gute Lösung für ein Missverständnis gefunden. Es war sauber, sehr leise in der Nacht. Schöner Aussenbereich mit Tisch und Hängematten. Waschmaschine vorhanden, hat auch bestens geklappt. Wir würden wieder dort übernachten. Es war top.

We stayed at the property for 3 nights and had a great time. Luis was always helpful and easily accessible. We highly recommend the place.

Wir haben 3 Nächte in der Unterkunft verbracht und hatten eine tolle Zeit. Luis war immer hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

Luis's place is great for workers. Great hospitality, a comfortable, quiet space to sleep, and impeccable service 😊😊

le logement de Luis est idéal pour les travailleurs. Un excellent accueil, un espace confortable, tranquille pour dormir, et un service impeccable 😊😊

This place is a great place to stay in Santa Teresa, good social atmosphere and clean living space. Very friendly and responsive owners and staff. If you want to stay somewhere nice and communal, this is a great spot.

Amazing place, highly recommended. Great hosts.

Lugar increíble, muy recomendando. Excelentes anfitriones.

I stayed for 1 month and was working remotely. Perfect place to work, surf and enjoy Santa Teresa! Great location! Fast and reliable WiFi. Great cleaning crew - kept the place spotless and fresh. And Luis is a very helpful and friendly host. A digital nomad paradise!

I loved staying at Trebolmar. Great location, and gave me a wonderful community of people that turned out to be the best past of my stay in ST. Luis was hands down the kindest and most responsive host I've had through Airbnb. Will come back here when I return to ST!

Luis was a phenomenal host and the space is a wonderful little escape from the business of the main road/santa teresa town. This is my 4th winter coming to Santa Teresa and Luis's apartment was my favorite place I stayed. A small connected apartment building with a large fenced in yard with hammocks, a grill, outdoor showers for after surfing/beach time and they're a 2 minute walk from one of my favorite beach access points in Santa Teresa. It feels like a home. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants a homey/relaxing place to stay while visiting santa teresa.

Your only regret will be not staying longer. Stayed here for 3 weeks. Excellent airbnb. Great location. Luis will make you feel at home

Great place to stay! Luis takes care of his guests very well

What a wonderful stay in Santa Teresa - it was exactly what we needed. It is situated perfectly right by all the restaurants and beach but still tucked away. Amazing!

Really enjoyed my stay at Luis's!! If you are working remote, his setup is one of the best in Santa Teresa! I had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable, and the Airbnb is also centrally located with a lot in walking distance. One of my best experiences to date. Thank you so much Luis for such a great experience!!

Great place and location. Luis’s place has wonderful little things that make your stay comfortable. An outside shower is critical. Laundry is perfect. Plenty of sitting. The internet was more spotty than expected but a lot of people were using it. Super helpful guy and staff.

This place was fantastic! For people who want to work remote, this place is perfect. The internet is indeed very strong and consistent. The location was terrific for surfing, and the kitchen was well equipped for the length of my stay. Luis and his fellow hosts were very helpful and always available. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Trebolmar. Luis was an excellent host, and the property is clean, well maintained, and very centrally located. We definitely recommend staying here, and will be back ourselves.

Beautiful, comfortable, clean space in the middle of town. Luis was very pleasant and helpful. Helpful amenities include a full kitchen, laundry, and parking.

Perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa! We really enjoyed our stay at Luis's place! The apartment is super nice, well equipped and is only a few meters away from the beach, restaurants and shopping. The garden with a common area is also great and invites you to linger. Luis and the whole staff are very warm and helpful! The room was cleaned every two days and always decorated with loving details. What we also enjoyed very much is that Luis is very much concerned for sustainability. This way, the garbage is separated and composted and there's even a drinking water dispenser to reduce plastic bottle. We highly recommend this place and would be happy to come back!

Perfekte Unterkunft in Santa Teresa! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Luis so sehr genossen! Das Apartment ist super schön, gut ausgestattet und ist nur wenige Meter vom Strand, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten entfernt. Auch der Garten mit Gemeinschaftsbereich ist toll und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Luis und das gesamte Personal sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit! Das Zimmer wurde alle zwei Tage gereinigt und stets mit liebevollen Details dekoriert. Was uns auch sehr gut gefallen hat, ist das Luis sehr um Nachhaltigkeit bemüht ist. So wird der Müll getrennt und kompostiert und es gibt sogar einen Trinkwasserspender um Plastikflasche zu reduzieren. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!

Super close to the beach, great wifi and kitchen for any remote workers I recommend you stay here!

Luis is a perfect host and the place is so amazing, much better than the pictures. The place is so cozy, beautiful and clean. The common areas are so relaxing. I will come back for sure

Trebolmar is great and somewhere I’d easily spend an entire month at next time. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience staying here. My partner and I worked remotely and it had everything we needed (good wifi, desk in the bedroom, kitchen table, and outdoor spaces too). The daily cleaning was very nice touch and Luis and the other workers were all very kind. It’s also a great location a bit further back from the road so there was minimal noise at night. 100% would recommend if are looking to be close to the beach/surf and walking distance to all the restaurants. We will definitely be back someday!

Was a nice, clean, comfortable place :) Wifi was good. Unfortunately a little noisy in the evenings as you would hear the restaurant on the other side through the walls but it was fine with ear plugs.

Great place for remote work. Garden is beautiful and has strong wifi, lots of birds. Helpful host.

amazing property! excellent set up for remote work. great location too! beach access is super close and there are tons of great restaurants nearby

If we could give more than 5-stars we would!  Location (in the heart of everything), yet quiet and peaceful gardens, co-working space, and no noise for sleeping.  Clean and well taken care of. Luis and his family authentically care for everyone's well being, and care for their beautiful property, hence everything is kept super clean, functioning, accessible, and feels and is very safe.  Luis is extremely responsive and an incredible communicator.  This special gem, also attracts likeminded people.  Where you have your full privacy if you would like it, or ability to socialize with international travellers and NOMADS.  Walking within minutes to the beach, restaurants, shops, what ever you need.  If we could keep it a secret we selfishly would, as it is a diamond in the rough.  Can't wait to be back!

One of the better places I’ve stayed in with a chilled garden hangout.  Close to everything and we’ll priced

The apartment was well equipped, peaceful and spacious. Luis went out of his way to help us during our stay. We wish we could have stayed longer! Pura vida.

I stayed at Trebolmar for 4 weeks, and it was perfect for working remotely, surfing, and going to the beach. It was quiet and tucked away from the loud main road. Hammocks and the garden on the property were a great place to unwind in the evening. Great wifi (video calls worked well), location is close to eateries and 2 grocery stores. Its also very very close to the beach, about a 2-3 minute walk. Its a 15-20 minute walk to Santa Teresa. Luis is a great host as well, he’s very responsive, and even helped me get a pair of shoes repaired!

This was the coolest AirBnB and trip I’ve ever done in my life. Fortune favors the bold. Luis was the most accommodating and probably the nicest Airbnb host I’ve ever stayed with. I’m single and it was perfect for WFH. I loved how the kitchen had everything you’d need to make really quality meals. The internet was fast, they have security cameras, and everyone that works with Luis around the apartments is essentially family or people they have known for a really long time, so your things are definitely safe. I had a few different friends come over and hang out and all of them were extremely jealous compared to the hostels they were staying in. Santa Teresa is also the trendiest place I’ve ever been in my life. The surf was amazing, big during winter though.

Trebolmar is 5-star reviewed and deservedly so. It starts with Luis who deeply takes his guests' well being and comfort to heart. The place itself is fully equipped with everything you need and the location is hard to beat. I'd give Luis 6 stars if I could.

This place is fantastic! With fast wifi, a good working space, air con, and a fully equipped kitchen, it's perfect for remote workers. Luis was incredibly friendly and gave so much good advice about the area – he even chopped down fresh coconuts for us from the property's beautiful garden area! The location is also great – 2 minute walk to the beach, and there are 4 incredible restaurants within a 5 minute walk. One of the biggest perks was the super thorough and professional cleaning service 2 times per week. I recommend this place 1000%!

Exceeded my expectations. Perfect location, nice, clean, etc... Fully recommended.

First of all, Luis was extremely hospitable and welcoming. He helped me to arrange transportation, answered my questions promptly. The location of the place is great. The room is well equipped. The internet is strong for video calls, even in the garden. Great value!

Good cleanliness Attentive host Good location

Buena limpieza Anfitrión atento Bueno ubicación

Nice central place to stay. Luis is a super host who had many Insider tips for us and he really cared about us. We can recommend the Apartment to everybody who wants to be close to the beach.

Very nice and comfortable apartment with a great location. Only a few steps to the beach! Luis a superb host and gave us many good tips. Defenetly reccomend!

Simply everything you need to feel comfortable, excellent service in everything, with a good dose of organization for whatever you go (walk, work, party or rest) for being so central to the beach and town! Thank you Luis for everything!

Sencillamente todo lo que se necesita para sentirse cómodo, un excelente servicio en todo, con buena dosis de organización para lo que sea que vas (paseo, trabajo, fiesta o descanso) por estar tan céntrico de la playa y pueblo! Gracias Luis por todo!

Excellent location, quiet place, easy to get to, impeccable, unbeatable treatment. A perfect option to stay with lots of facilities in and out of place

Excelente ubicación, lugar tranquilo, fácil de llegar, impecable, trato inmejorable. Una opción perfecta para hospedarse con muchas facilidades dentro y fuera de lugar

Luis and his mother are very welcoming hosts ! They welcomed us with fresh coconut and a little introduction of the city. The appartement is lovely, clean and well equipped ! The place is also very close to the beach ! I would recommend it !

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Luis’s place and would certainly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay around Santa Teresa. It’s very clean and comfortable and has all you’d need for a relaxing visit to the area. There’s a kitchen stocked with the cookware and utensils so you can cook some meals if desired. The bedroom is comfortably sized with a queen bed, outlet, AC and a TV. The bathroom is also very nice and clean. The listing is very close to multiple supermarkets, Sodas, and other restaurants. There are multiple beautiful beaches within a 3-5 min walk and felt like a perfect distance away from the dust and traffic of the main road but still extremely convenient to anything you’d need. Luis was probably the best Airbnb host I’ve had. He was easy to contact prior to our arrival and when we got there after a long journey he met us with some cold coconuts while he walked us through what we needed to know about the town, including some food and beach recommendations, locations of the bus stops and the phone numbers of some local taxis (we didn’t have a rental car). He was also very accessible for any of our questions or concerns during the stay. On our way out, he let us keep our bags on the property after check out so we could enjoy the town a bit more before we had to catch the bus back to San Jose. That was a very nice touch that he did not have to do. The listing is one of a few on his property that is surrounded by pretty vegetation, has an outdoor shower to rinse off beach sand, hammocks and a couple board games. It felt very safe and comfortable.

Very nice basic apartment on an eco-friendly property. Luis was very nice and extended the check-in as we arrived later than expected. WiFi is strong enough for laptop work.
