Very good combination. The restaurant is delicious and the staff adorable. Kind, helpful, discreet, everything you love in a restaurant. Pura Vida.”
“The hotel feels new, expensive design materials like in ceiling ac, multiple sheer curtains, dropped ceiling with lights, rain showers, but with an eye to ecology. Not packed even in high season and no loud drinking adults. Just gracious families quietly enjoying the natural beach and quiet pool. Feels super safe, super clean, so friendly.”
“The villas at the Nantipa were wonderfully relaxing and the surf was fantastic. We enjoyed the customer service and the small town of Santa Teresa was something to be experienced. Nothing but good things to say and this place was the highlight of our trip.”
“Excellent location, rooms, grounds, beach and outstanding staff that were always helpful and pleasant! Rooms were very clean, resort is hidden in nature but very close to shops and restaurants.”
“Hotel Nantipa was a dream place to stay. Attention to every detail, catering to our every desire/want. The food was excellent and the scenery exquisite. The hotel is quaintly designed. The staff was excellent, friendly and accommodating. I will surely be back!”
