Very good location, close to the beach, and excellent service.

Muy buena ubicación, cerca de la playa y excelente atención.

A very nice place, impeccably clean, and in an unbeatable area. I would definitely stay again.

Un lugar muy lindo, impecable en limpieza y la zona inmejorable. Volvería a hospedarme sin dudarlo.

Magical place ! The stay was perfect and with a really nice communication!

Very good accommodation, it has the drawback of the distance from the center of Santa Teresa, but the place is excellent, with space for all those who share the common spaces, with a large and comfortable kitchen, hammocks, swimming pool, barbecue and pilates area. Highly recommended.

muy buen alojamiento, tiene el inconveniente de la distancia del centro de santa TEresa, pero es execlente el lugar, con espacio para todos los que comparten los espacios comunes, con una amplia y comoda cocina, hamacas, piscina, barbacoa y zona de pilates. Muy recomendable.

A very quiet and clean place, a very good option!!

Un lugar muy tranquilo, y limpio, muy buena opción!!

Great place if you're looking for something quiet and secluded

Excelente lugar si buscas algo tranquilo y alejado

Very quiet place, in a very natural environment. We stayed in the room with a private bathroom, kitchen and shared living area. These two areas are open so they have a direct view of the courtyard. Everything was spotless and tidy. The cleaning lady is very attentive. The kitchen is very well equipped, with utensils, refrigerators and cupboards with a lock for each room. There was also a shared space with a grill that we didn't get to use because it rained. Highly recommended, especially if you're driving, because it's a few minutes from Santa Teresa.

Lugar muy tranquilo, en un entorno muy natural. Nos hospedamos en la habitación con baño privado, cocina y área de estar compartida. Estas dos áreas son abiertas por lo que tienen vista directa al patio. Todo estaba impecable y ordenado. La encargada de limpieza muy atenta. La cocina muy bien equipada, con utensilios, heladeras y alacenas con candado para cada habitación. Había también un espacio compartido con parrilla que no llegamos a usar porque llovió. Muy recomendable sobre todo estando en auto, porque esta a unos minutos de Santa Teresa.

Thanks for a great stay! In fact, on arrival we switched from our room to the also available CaSa Oeste, where we felt very comfortable. Great veranda with outdoor kitchen and hammock - it was wonderful to enjoy coffee here every morning. Yam was always available to us, recommended tours and took care of problems immediately. We would always come back here ❤️

Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt! Tatsächlich haben wir bei Anreise von unserem Zimmer in die ebenfalls verfügbare CaSa Oeste gewechselt, in der wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Tolle Veranda mit Outdoorküche und Hängematte - es war wunderbar jeden Morgen den Kaffee hier zu genießen. Yam war jederzeit für uns erreichbar, hat uns Touren empfohlen und sich bei Problemen sofort gekümmert. Wir würden immer wieder hierherkommen ❤️

Clean and nicely furnished rooms in a serene location, well-equiped shared kitchen, comfortable outdoor area, friendly and helpful staff, marvellous but quiet beaches in walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommendable.

The truth is that it is much nicer than in the pictures it is a little bit of heaven surrounded by nature the attention to detail and how nice of the people you feel welcome 100% recommended

La verdad es que está mucho más bonito que en las fotos es un pedacito de cielo rodeado de naturaleza la atención a los detalles y lo lindo de la gente que te sientas bienvenido 100% recomendado

Definitely recommend the apartments! We’d really enjoyed our stay. We’d enjoyed that the apartments have been way more private than the ones in Santa Teresa. It was more quiet and a away from all the traffic. In addition everything was totally clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Looking forward to come back soon!

+ the shared areas (kitchen, common room, lounge, ..) are all very nice + communication with accommodation is great + Fast WIFI - the rooms are less beautiful than it looks on the photos. The bed is pretty hard. There are people who prefer that. Not me. - our room (No 3) had a window to the kitchen and dining area. It was relatively loud. With earplugs but ok.

+ die geteilten Bereiche (Küche, Aufenthaltsraum, Lounge, ..) sind alle sehr schön + die Kommunikation mit der Unterkunft ist super + schnelles WIFI - die Zimmer sind weniger schön, als es auf den Fotos wirkt. Das Bett ist ziemlich hart. Es gibt Leute die das bevorzugen. Ich nicht. - unser Zimmer (Nr. 3) hatte ein Fenster zur Küche und zum Essbereich. Es war relativ laut. Mit Ohrstöpsel aber ok.

It's a very nice spot in Malpaís near Santa Teresa if you want to go more into town, but much more private and quiet, which we loved. We ran out of water from 7pm to 7am the next day I called the hosts and the communication was good.

C’est une très belle place dans Malpaís près de Santa Teresa si vous voulez allez plus en ville, mais beaucoup plus privé et calme, ce que nous aimions. Nous avons manqué d’eau à partir de 19h jusqu’à 7h le lendemain, j’ai appelé les hôtes et la communication était bonne.

Very clean and modernly furnished accommodation. Also the kitchen was very good and the kitchen equipment was good and clean. The accommodation is quietly located, but also about 10 min away by car from Santa Teresa (private car makes sense). The beach in Mal Pais is not very nice, which is why you usually go to Santa Teresa. My wife was very satisfied with the yoga classes offered. Overall, the atmosphere and energy in the accommodation was very good. The property is ideally suited for a relaxed stay in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa.

Sehr saubere und modern eingerichtete Unterkunft. Auch die Küche war sehr gut und das Küchenequipment gut und sauber. Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen, dafür aber auch ca. 10 min mit dem Auto von Santa Teresa entfernt (eigenes Auto macht Sinn). Der Strand in Mal Pais ist nicht besonders schön, weshalb man in der Regel nach Santa Teresa fährt. Meine Frau war mit den angebotenen Yoga-Stunden sehr zufrieden. Insgesamt war die Stimmung und Energie in der Unterkunft sehr gut. Für einen relaxten Aufenthalt in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa ist die Unterkunft bestens geeignet.

I was initially really pissed off with the check-in process, as the links on the listing are wrong, and the host stopped responding to my messages all night. But after we  saw the place, and how great it was, we decided to ignore the check-in trouble and leave 5 stars.

Very nice place to stay, a bit outside Santa Teresa so you need a bike/quad/car to go to the center but there was a small store nearby and a couple of places to eat something Accomodation itself was reallt nice, a “home” feeling and cleab rooms with a nice kitchen! The accomodation creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere

The guest room is very nice, perfectly maintained. Serena warmly welcomed us, advised us, and remained available for our entire stay. On site, we will recommend several activities: yoga, surfing, massages, snorkeling, horseback riding... Mal País still remains to this day quieter than the center of Santa Teresa with small shops and restaurants around the corner and the rest a few minutes away.

La chambre d’hôtes est très agréable, parfaitement entretenue. Serena nous a chaleureusement accueilli, conseillé et est resté disponible pendant tout notre séjour. Sur place on vous conseillera plusieurs activités : yoga, surf, massages, snorkelling, randonnée à cheval… Mal País reste encore à ce jour plus calme que le centre de Santa Teresa avec des petits commerces et restaurants au coin de la rue et le reste quelques minutes plus loin.

Great spot located close to the main road of Malpais but separated from the noise. Clean, really nice facilities and decoration. Will definitely stay there next time!

The accommodation is very well located, as close to the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa! The common areas are very nice and the atmosphere is even more friendly:) We loved our stay and our hosts, who know how to host and are very good advice

Le logement est très bien situé, car proche de la plage et à l'écart de l'agitation de Santa Teresa ! Les parties communes sont très agréables et l'ambiance y est d'autant plus convivial :) Nous avons adoré notre séjour et nos hôtes, qui savent recevoir et sont de très bon conseils

Sofi was an amazing host. Between her unlimited suggestions for fun activities in the area, excellent communication & sweet personality we couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Except a nice and friendly welcome and a clean room!
