"Always my go to place to stay if it’s available. Wonderful staff, food and location! I love that I can never leave the resort but still have an amazing time after it rained the entire time my previous visit. And even better to come back to after a day out playing in the area and relaxing on the beach for sunset while enjoying one of their many cocktails.

Top Carmen Hotel Reviews

Ocio Villas Mal Pais

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the Estrella room, it was beyond beautiful. Long scenic walk to the room, kitchenette, and filtered water in the full sized fridge. Staff was very kind and helpful, since the hotel was 6 hours from SJO we had to leave at 4 am and to our surprise there was a staff member there to assist with checkout. There are no key drop-boxes, so I was worried about how we were going to return it. Overall an amazing stay."

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

Oceanfront Paradise:4-Bedroom Villa with Expansive Pool in Santa Teresa Sea Wing

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing 5 night stay at Sea Wing. It was in a perfect location, beachfront, on the main street but far enough away no noise other than the waves crashing nearby.The property is well maintained and we felt very secure, night and day. The house staff were friendly and available for assistance, and helped to coordinate groceries, excursionw, and a private chef for breakfast/lunch which was also fantastic and a great way to really unwind and relax while enjoying the house.We would absolutely stay again, and it has definitely spoiled our family and expectations for any future VRBO stay!"

Fuego Lodge

8/10 Good

"Staff was great! Loved the place, super homey and comfortable. Great locale as well."

Villa Koa: Luxe Hillside Escape with Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property sitting on the top part of the mountain. The daily cleaning and concierge service is a plus. 4x4 is a must and a regular car will not make it up the steep hill. They also offer laundry service with a small fee and it comes back same day folded neatly. We saw nearly 17 different bird species and there is a very chill iguana that hangs by the pool."
