Beautiful spot but very loud at night with animals (rooster, loud dog that nobody tried to quiet for hours so assuming it’s a stray, birds) highly recommend ear plugs. Great stay, comfortable and beautiful spot highly recommend!

CAUTION TO PROSPECTIVE GUESTS! READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING! This is not a hotel, but more like glamping. For what they are charging, there are much better options in Santa Teresa. We were unpleasantly surprised to find out that the toilet, sink, and shower are all outdoors. Using an outdoor toilet in 37c (99F) heat is quite unpleasant. No where on Expedia does it say that the toilet is located outside. We tried discussing our concerns with the local representative, she was friendly and reached out to the owner for a resolution. No luck. The owner refused to work with us on even a partial refund even though we did not stay there for any of the 3 nights we booked. The outdoor shower is a nice idea, but the wooden walls have large gaps that open into the parking lot. Also, the main road through town passes a few meters away from the bungalows making a lot of noise from all the quads and motorcycles as well as fumes and dust. It seems that the owner wants to save a few pennies at the expense of the guest. Signs inside prohibit bringing towels to the beach. When we requested actual beach towels, we were told to buy them at the local supermarket. So, we spent $24 USD on towels that we will not be able to bring back with us. No other hotel we have stayed at in Costa Rica refused to provide beach towels. I am sure that someone from Buena Onda will come on here and discredit this review, but it’s the unfortunate truth. Hopefully I can prevent someone making the same mistake like us.

Fantastic place to stay, especially for a solo traveler! The bungalows are adorable and have the coolest outdoor showers. The location is great- walking distance to beach and restaurants. Margherita and Albi are amazing hosts! We were on a texting basis and they organized my daily activities (surf lessons, yoga, covid test, etc.) and my taxis. They have relationships with the drivers and instructors which made me feel extra safe. 10/10 recommend staying here and can’t wait to come back!

I had an amazing stay here!!! The owner of Margarita greeted us warmly and gave us all the information we needed during our stay; She also helped to arrange for pick up from the airport (Tambor). The property is beautiful with lots of lush plants and flora surrounding. The bungalows are simple and elegant, with private bath (shower in the rain was so cool!!) and patio w hammocks. Wifi works and theres a mini fridge/hot plate. Great for privacy, relaxation, and cute Instagram pics! Appx 5 mins walking distance to the beach and food not far. pack earplugs because the roosters will wake u at the crack of dawn! I will definitely return here!!
