The owners are the best part of this stay! They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed, gave me great advice about what to do in the local area, and were always avaialble for questions. They also made a wonderful breakfast. Good people all around.

Our stay was excellent! The place is very well located, and the accommodations are very comfortable and clean. The highlight is the breakfast—truly exceptional! Additionally, it’s well worth visiting the restaurant and trying the delicious dishes. The owners also make a difference in ensuring an excellent stay, always being helpful and attentive. I highly recommend this place!

Can be a bit noisy from all the nature, animals around the place in the morning, but I also feels like being connected to this natural early morning routine

I have spent 5 nights at the rather simple but also cozy and comfortable b&b which is set within this beautiful Garden, a hidden gem with very heartfelt and nice owners! The restaurant has been my best dinner experience in whole Costa Rica, the food is amazingly fresh and Julio is an amazing Chef! Highly recommended to visit for a romantic and great dinner or just a glass of wine

We missed a strainer and wine glasses would have been perfect. So, not a big matter..

Very welcoming place with 2 charismatics owners. You get the right tips for what you are looking to do around. Everything was clean, confortable and the garden was beautiful. Great expérience !

In comparison to other place where we have stayed in Costa Rica, I found this property slightly overpriced vs the value of the room.

We really enjoyed to stay at Bajo el Arbol. The garden is beautiful, we loved to spend time there, and the breakfast. The rooms are quite basic, but they have everything you need and were cleaned daily. We also had a small kitchen to prepare our meals. Mauro and Julio are very friendly guests, they shared lot of tips about Santa Teresa and surroundings. The location also is optimal, only 2 mins walk from Carmen beach.

Nothing

The property was well cleaned, well organised and equipped with all the necessary things. The environment is cozy and the staff is available for anything when needed. The stay has a restaurant that is a jewel in Santa Teresa.

Julio and Mauro were really friendly hosts who gave us lots of helpful local recommendations. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning (especially the homemade banana bed). The parking at the property and supermarket across the road were very convenient

.

The B&B is located on the main street. Close to everything (beach, supermarket, restaurants and cafes, ATMs, etc.). The rooms get cleaned every day and the breakfast was excellent. You can hear animals at night. So if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs.

really nothing, one of our best stays in Costa Rica (if not the best)!

amazing property with beautiful garden, very kind and helpful owners, very good breakfast, and the restaurant is a very cozy and place for dinner!

we had a great meal at the restaurant - I would highly recommend it - delicious tapas. the one gripe is that even though we were staying in the accommodation and we were told that the tap water was fine to drink, when we asked in the restaurant at dinner for tap water with our (expensive but worth it) meal we were refused, saying they did not have it (even though the same host told us the day before that tap water is fine) - and were forced to pay $2 for “filtered water” air con would have been nice but was not really required as the ceiling fans are more than sufficient and keep the mosquitos away

close proximity to the beach. friendly hosts. delicious breakfast included. useful shared kitchen/fridge and supermarket right across the street. do eat at the restaurant as the food is really very good - however one complaint - see below

The property is super old, and outdated, it almost fell like jail, the room is tiny, in a size of a bed with some room around it, I couldn’t sleep all night, the rooster was crowing all night , the dog was barking, you could hear anyone who came in and out the house, as it’s a room in a house, the pictures on the listing looks very nice, when you get to the properly it doesn’t look the same, the inside of the room and bathroom can use a paint touch up . I left the property to find a different hotel and gave up my paid night since there was no refund policy, Don’t waist your time money !!! It was a horrible experience…

Breakfast was very nice and tasty friendly staff. Location is close to the beach and shops Parking included

Stayed in February 2025

although owners were helpful and polite when approached they did treat accommodation clients a bit like students, which we were not.

reataurant area. location to beach and the bakery, supermarket etc

Giulio wasn't very welcoming when we arrived. Then told us we would be charged 5% extra to pay for our stay with a debit card because they have to pay 5% to the government. If thats true the 5% should be included in the price at the time of booking. After many hours travelling we were forced to go to a cash machine that didn't even give us cash. We complained to booking.com and the 5% additional charge was dropped. DONT PAY IT!!! The tin roof in our room soaked up the sun and bakes during the day. Air con is needed. No mosquito net on the window. It would be nice to have a choice at breakfast and when I asked for orange juice I was told tea, coffee or water.

Great location right in the centre of Santa Teresa, a few minutes walk to the beach and directly opposite a supermarket. There are shops, restaurants and surf schools everywhere. It's on a busy, dirt, main road but far back enough and surrounded by foliage to not be bothered by the noise. The garden was tranquil and we spotted some wildlife. The breakfast was good (fruit, bread, cake, jam, tea, coffee or water).
