Noise at night in the restaurant late at night And loud acoustic music, which was at odds with the tranquility and relaxation we were looking for. The restaurant is too expensive. Otherwise, it's the most expensive in Santa Teresa.

Decent place , great location , and fun banana beach restaurant and bar. But it’s nothing of a honeymoon suite as described ( your honeymooner would be disappointed ) It’s just a room with a king size bed and another single in a hotel , the patio outside is poorly designed and the hammock reaches the floor .

HOST: Great contact and communication prior to arrival. Main reception by restaurant was rarely staffed. No wifi information given to us until we asked other guests RECEPTION: confusion on location as there is no clear sign. There are 3 different names to the location. The gentleman at the reception initially seemed bothered by us, passed us off to Eli after 3 younger girls showed up behind us. LULA BUNGALOW: Private yard seemed great at first but ended up being an avenue for thieves and peeping toms. The room was clean with a nice king bed. The shower could use some updating as well as the kitchenette area as well. The roof needs to be repaired as it is being covered by a tarp. We had a rainy night and had 2 inches on our floor when we woke up (discount given) We stayed 3 nights here! GARDEN BUNGALOW: more of a tree house style bungalow with open gaps and exposure. I'm not a bug person at night so we slept downstairs on 2 Separate single beds to try to avoid the little critters. We used baygon bug spray around our beds on the floor and avoided them:) The shower is open to the outside up top at the roof. We came home one day to a huge iguana in the shower area, he was living in the roof area! Both accommodations are overpriced for what you get!!!! POOL: Warm and clean. You cannot stop the leaves from falling so don't judge those. The pool cleaner was there 2x daily as we spent a ton of time there. It was a great atmosphere only lacking a bar!!! RESTAURANT/BAR: The restaurant served delicious food that was mildly over priced. The servers were nice but quite slow as they speak to much to the guests and keep you waiting. The bar was great, 2 for 1 drinks were a decent deal. The view is amazing. Entertainment was really good especially Rhapso's fire shows SURF SHOP: Non-enticing. No advertising. Didn't look trustworthy enough to trust my life with them SPA: What spa??? BANANA BEACH: Best part of this amenity. The beach is clean and there is accessible seating as well. Sunsets from here are amazing. Great location to watch the surfers!! Tons of stray dogs..love them LOCATION: PERFECT!! RATING: 3.5 stars Value for money is mediocre. They are overpriced especially when the beach and restaurant are free and available fir anyone to use!! We would consider coming back to the area but would rent the private villas with private pools next time. It is what it is. The pictures are better online but you cannot go wrong with a few day experience here.
