Altamar

Having a supermarket nearby made it easy to cook instead of eating out, and the apartments had everything we needed. They were clean and well cared for. It's a lovely little apartment complex, just a short walk from the main road, so it's quieter but still handy for getting to everything Santa Teresa offers. You can even hear the ocean from some balconies. The staff were friendly and helpful too. I'd book here again without hesitation.

The room was full of ants, and we even got dirty towels. The shower was awful, with barely any water coming out, and the whole place felt pretty dirty. Getting there was a pain too, up a steep, dark climb from the main street. The property does look like the photos, though somehow the pictures make it seem much nicer. The pool also looks great in the pictures but wasn't very inviting in person, and there weren't any comfortable spots to sit. The way we were treated felt cold, mostly just rules and prohibitions, and all communication was by message. We didn't enjoy it.

Cute Airbnb 🦋 The birdsong was lovely, and we got to see birds drinking from the pool. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly, though they only speak Spanish. I'd clean dishes as soon as you're done eating, since ants are quick to move in if sweet food sits around 🐜 One drawback is that the A/C needs a key, so you have to switch it off whenever you go out. I guess that's for economic and environmental reasons, which is fine, but the room gets hot again very quickly! 🌼

The apartment was spotless, newly built, and nicely decorated, with an amazing sunset view. The location, pool, and views were all great. Meridian, the owner, was lovely and booked everything for us, including transfers and excursions. We had an amazing stay, and I highly recommend it.
