Clean Comfy Room + Infinity Pool Outside your Door

Great stay for a week with an amazing pool and view.  Very cozy, clean room. Friendly, helpful staff. Great value.  A steep hike if you don't have a car or quad, but the view is worth it.

We loved  our stay at this beautiful place. Would highly recommend if you are looking for some peace. The owners are super nice and the pool was amazing.

I only gave 3 stars on how easy it was to find because my google maps sent me to the wrong place. The staff was quick to respond and then it was easy. It really wasn’t their fault but it did take a while to figure it out. I would definetly stay again. The place was great, the staff was very nice and willing to help and the owners are a very friendly, helpful and good people. I highly recommend. Keep in mind they are accurate with the steep hill especially after a day at the beach trying to surf. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it. Especially as a person who has backpacked Central America but no longer wants party places and dorm bed but doesn’t like hotels for because of the lack of interactions Thanks for the great stay

Beautiful stay in Marbella, amazing views and very good staff, family and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you.

Hermosa estadía en Marbella, unas vistas increíbles y el personal muy bueno, ambiente familiar y relajado, gracias

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Santa Teresa. The place was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, clean, and surrounded by a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind and enjoy every moment. The people there were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, which made the experience even more special. I truly felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my stay. I would definitely come back and stay for a longer period next time. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a serene and enjoyable getaway!

We really loved our stay! Very friendly staff, the daily room cleans were so lovely, and the morning coffee was so good! Super good location, quiet and walkable to the beach and restaurants. The saltwater pool was also so nice! We would recommend this place to anyone!

The time with Jessica and Andre was great! We felt very comfortable, the pool is wonderful. The property is perfect for relaxing and we were able to use the well-equipped gym. The beach and the fantastic sunset are only a 5-minute walk away! Jessica and Andre are super nice, helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend the place!

Die Zeit bei Jessica und Andre war toll! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, der Pool ist wunderbar. Das Anwesen ist perfekt zum Entspannen und wir konnten das gut ausgestattete Gym nutzen. Bis zum Strand und dem traumhaften Sonnenuntergang sind es nur 5 Min zu Fuß! Jessica und Andre sind super nett, hilfsbereit und entgegenkommend. Wir können die Unterkunft von Herzen empfehlen!

The accommodation was very clean and tidy, everything worked properly, the view is very nice, the pool is great, it is 5 minutes from the beach, the place is high up but I went with a low car, not a 4x4 and it went up without problems. I would definitely come back, recommended.

El alojamiento estaba muy limpio y ordenado, todo funcionaba correctamente, la vista es muy bonita, la piscina genial, está a 5 minutos de la playa, el lugar está en lo alto pero fui con un automóvil bajo, sin 4x4 y subió sin problemas. Volvería sin lugar a dudas, recomendado.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is great: close to the beach, restaurants, market, laundry service, surf rental and classes. Unfortunately there is a new building in construction that spoils the landscape: it doesn’t obstruct the view on the ocean but it is an eyesore. We still enjoyed the deck and the view on the ocean.

An absolutely perfect stay! The room, the pool, the staff were amazing! I loved doing yoga on the deck, and relaxing by the pool before heading down to the beach a stones throw away. Also a perfect location! Right near all the main spots!

10/10 stay. The staff is so lovely and went out of their way to help me with anything before and during my trip. The location is bang in the middle of Santa Teresa so you can walk anywhere. There was cleaning every single day and the place was spotless. Loved this place.

It's a beautiful place very close to everything but at the same time with privacy and away from noise. Everyone was extremely attentive and willing to help. We would definitely come back

Es un lugar precioso muy cerca de todo pero al mismo tiempo con privacidad y lejos del ruido. Todos fueron sumamente atentos y dispuestos a ayudar. Definitivamente volveríamos

A perfect lil gem of a place. Jessica and Andre have created a lovely oasis of calm minutes from the hubbub of Santa Teresa and walking distance from the beach. In a place of spiraling prices this is great value for money. Clean white linen and a view of the pool and sea the photos are accurate. I hope to return but think I may just have been lucky with my dates!

The definition of unpretentious luxury! We will definitely be coming back.

A highly recommended place to go and enjoy as a family

Lugar muy recomendable para ir a disfrutar en familia

Our stay was great! Jessica was kind enough to include helpful instructions, recommendations and book an atv for us before we arrived.

A stay worthy of a magical night. The room was spotless and the instructions for the accommodation were given to us in writing very clearly and with recommendations for activities/restaurants to visit. The room had a Jacuzzi-style pool in front with an infinity pool that made the stay feel magical.

una estancia digna para una noche mágica. la habitación estaba impecable y las instrucciones del alojamiento nos fueron dadas de forma escrita muy clara y con recomendaciones de actividades/restaurantes para visitar. la habitación tenia una piscina estilo jacuzzi al frente con un infinity pool que hizo que la estancia se sintiera mágica.

This listing was absolutely a 5 star experience. Our trip to Santa Teresa was made all the better due to how great our stay here at Hotel Marabella was. While being a short walk down to all the amazing restaurants, shops and of course a less than 10 minute walk to the beach, this listing sits above the trees not only giving you an amazing view of the ocean and all the wildlife in the tree canopy, but also positioning you above the noise from the traffic and night life off the main street going through town. We had a troop of howler monkeys great us upon our arrival that set the tone for an amazing stay. Location was absolutely prime. The accommodations were 5 star as well. From fresh fruit & hot coffee every morning right outside your room, comfy king bed and pillows, lovely yoga deck, to daily cleaning from an extremely friendly staff full of smiles and amazing vibes. The infinity salt water pool also speaks for itself. Jessica has gone above and beyond with this listing Enjoy!

Lovely stay with great communal area and pools, really nice staff and great yoga on offer each morning

It was super - very idyllic and quiet and yet right in the center☺️. Unfortunately, we were not so lucky with the weather, but it was still a great stay and we would come back any time.

Es war super - sehr idyllisch und ruhig und dennoch mitten im Zentrum ☺️. Wir hatten leider nicht so Glück mit dem Wetter, aber dennoch war es ein super Aufenthalt und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Pictures of the place don’t do it justice! It’s even nicer than we imagined. Amazing view. Great location. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely place and great view. Would recommend!

The staff is really nice, and this place is a great chill and relatively private hotel. The pool is amazing and the views are stunning. We also saw monkeys on the trees across the road while literally while being in the pool. Cleaning and maintenance are good, with large rooms and really comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need, and in the morning there are some public fruits and coffee. The place is a bit tough to get to if you're on foot since the driveway is steep, but not a big deal, and it's a good private location while being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Definitely recommended.

Casa MarBella is heaven on earth! It was hard to leave. The staff are wonderful, responsive and very friendly. The room was as described and comfortable. I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. The pool is absolutely divine with a view to die for. On my last evening I fell ill and Host Jessie went above and beyond to help me, honestly without her help I would've felt so lost. She took matters into her own hands and ensured I was well taken care of, I will always remember this. If you're considering Santa Teresa, you won't regret staying here. It's a very special place.

My favourite spot in Costa Rica. Pictures don’t do it justice. Stay here! It’s incredible views and amazing amenities!! 10/10 loved it

Wonderful place and even more wonderful staff. Beautiful view of the ocean, infinity pool, and short walking distance to beach and all that Santa Teresa has to offer. I would highly recommend! I didn’t want to leave! Thanks so much Casa Mar Bella staff, much love to you all. Pura Vida!

We had an amazing stay at Jessica‘s place! The boutique hotel was absolutely stunning, very quiet and calm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was very close to lots of restaurants and the beach. The room is cleaned every day by the staff. There was complementary coffee, tea, cucumber water and fruit. The pool was amazing! Nothing but positive vibes and I would highly recommend staying at this Airbnb if you plan on visiting Santa Teresa!

The place is perfect if you want to get have some privacy and quiet nights! The staff is wonderfully accommodating. Our only disappointment was not being able to take a quick (quiet) dip in the pool when we got back from dinner. It’s absolutely not allowed after 8. So unfortunately we didn’t get much use out of it.

Amazing place with a lot of real estate. You can use the pool, many pool beds, yoga area, drinks available in the fridge for convenience instead of going to the store. A quiet stay, not a lot of noise there. Two places I recommend for food >> The Bakery (5 minute walk or less) and Brukas (literally up a few big steps). I highly suggest you don't drive to your stay at night time unless you have exact location and direction. Not very well lit at night and you can miss a lot. Suggest to get a 4x4, the road up is pretty steep.

We had a really nice stay at this place! Lovely few and lovely swimmingpool. We only missed a private space to eat.. but everything was good besides that!

I’m a chef and a travel blogger for living and this is one of the airbnbs that truly lives up to they’re description and photos. It is located near everything in Santa teresa included the beach, attention was excellent really warm welcome since the moment we entered the hotel, installations are great, view is amazing, staff is also really nice and warm towards guest. They give you a really helpful guide of the restaurants around and things to do. I had an amazing anniversary there and I will for sure be coming back again ❤️

Love this place! The view's are amazing & the pool is wonderful. The yoga deck is great & check in is very smooth and easy.

We had such an amazing stay at Casa MarBella. Jessie, Andre and all the staff were so lovely and helpful, it really made for a worry free holiday! The property was in a great location - short walk to the beach, restaurants, supermarket & banks in town. The hotel was quiet and tranquil. Our favourite part was the infinity pool and amazing views just outside our door. The room was very clean, comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying at Casa MarBella if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway! We will definitely be back 😊

Amazing spot and really good hosts! Highly recommended!

This place is amazing, we love the people, the view and everything.

Really great place to relax. It’s quiet, the views are stunning and the front desk is super helpful with information about excursions and what to do in the area. There’s a next door restaurant with a great sunset view. The infinity pool and the yoga lounge have great views as well. Only a few steps from the sodas and shops and nearby beaches. If you don’t have a 4x4 I would not recommend coming up the hill but we left our car on the Main Street and it was not a problem. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing place! My partner and I spent 10 nights here and we had the best time. The location is perfect- quick walk to the beach, grocery store and a ton of restaurants/bars. Service at the hotel was great- everyone was very friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. Small details like fresh coffee and fruit each morning made all the difference. We also really appreciated having a small kitchen in the room- we didn't cook much, but we definitely used the fridge and cups/plates throughout our time there. Thanks, Casa Marbella team!

This place is an oasis! It is the perfect blend of a quiet, relaxing, and beautiful place to stay while still being very close to the shops, restaurants, and most importantly beach! (Only a 5 min walk) The pool was amazing and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Make sure you have a 4x4 because although the walk is short it is up a big hill on an unpaved road. My fiancé and I had an amazing surf trip and we can not WAIT to come back!! 10/10.

Great place to visit this corner of the country! Close to small restaurants and beautiful beaches. Friendly and available hosts to give us suggestions for things to do! Small touches like fresh coffee, fresh fruit bowls available.  The place is quiet and close to everything! We recommend the place!!

Endroit idéal pour visiter ce coin de pays! Proche de petits restos et de belles plages. Des hôtes accueillants et disponibles pour nous donner des suggestions d’activités à faire! De petites attentions comme du café frais, bols de fruits frais à disposition.  L’endroit est calme et près de tout! Nous recommandons l’endroit!!

This place is more magical than it looks! My boyfriend and I came to Santa Teresa because it’s the perfect combo of decent surf, nice accommodations, and great restaurants. We’d surf in the morning and at sunset and during the whole day relax & read by the pool. We honestly didn’t expect to love staying at the hotel so much! We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and come back one day. 100% make sure you rent a 4x4 car. Jesse & Andre and their staff were so kind. Thank you!

The boutique hotel was lovely, great location with awesome rooms, pool and view.  Jess & Andre are lovely people who really care about their property & guests.

This is simply the BEST Airbnb i've stayed in my entire life..it's unbeatable! from the Location, The view from the pool overlooking Santa Teresa, the cleanliness of the place, The Friendliness of the Staff..i felt like i was on a constant honeymoon..a 5mn walk from the beach, the main supermarket, surfshops and everything you need...plus their private entry to the elevated Restaurant Brukas gives you the BEST Sunset drinks/food place in town..honestly and the owners are the chillest most kind people ever.. 10/10 on everything, we will be back for sure! :) Pura Vida!

Amazing place, clean and comfortable. Feel like home. Highly recommended

It was our pleasure having you here. Hope to welcome you back in the future.
