Clean, close enough to walk to town and beach, but far enough away to be quiet and private.

Wonderful small hotel just 3 minutes outside of the town of Santa Teresa. My husband, my 10 year old son and I really appreciated being able to return to this quiet, lush, comfortable spot after a full day in town / at the beach / exploring the area. It is super convenient and has the best pool with great ambient music and cabanas with long curtains. Its not a resort-sized pool; more like the best backyard pool that you could imagine, surrounded by tropical beauty. Individual bungalows provide great privacy. Mattresses are firm with good pillows. Breakfasts are very good too. If the room had a small dresser to help us stay organized, it would be perfect. Other spots have direct beach access or ocean views. If that is not critical feature, this place is a dream.

What can I say apart that this is a great and lovely hotel. We had a perfect stay. The bungalows are absolutely charming; as is the hotel. The swimming pool and the garden are a little paradise and everything is clean and well maintained. You can even enjoy local product for shower. In addition the staff as well as the owner are very kind and always helpful. There is a large choice of breakfast. I highly recommend you to stay here; the place is quite and really peacefull and totally worth the moderate price; and to enjoy a cocktail by the pool. Thanks again to the staff for such nice welcome !

This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and our plan was to see as much of the area as possible! This hotel was perfect for that. The room was simple and had no TV, which we actually enjoyed not having. I'm petty certain our bed was two twin beds pushed together, because you could feel the seam, but it didn't hinder our sleep, we just laughed about it. The bathroom was clean and simple. The continental breakfast was also simple, but delicious. We ate it most days to save money. Each day we woke up, ate, and then left for the day only coming back to change to go back out for dinner. We did lounge by the pool a few times for an hour or so, just to recharge. The pool was small, but perfect for us to lounge beside. The ocean is a short walk away so the pool wasn't a big draw for us in the first place when booking. The staff were great, they greeted us each time we came and went, asking how our day was going. It was the perfect little oasis during our very busy time in Costa Rica :)

From the moment we arrived at The Place everybody was so welcoming and helpful and this just kept getting better and better throughout our whole holiday. They answered all our questions and made sure that they helped us relax by getting the instructors and quad bikes etc to come to the hotel to make our lives easier. Mal Pais is an amazing place, full of variety and a true escape. We loved the surfing and the lessons. Renting the quad bikes was an ideal way to explore everything else that the area had to offer after our daily surf sessions ;) Will be coming back for sure!
