Who it suits
Surfers, couples and small families who want a quiet, friendly base near the waves. One bungalow is wheelchair accessible, and a three-bedroom rental house suits bigger groups.
Where it is
The hotel is in the north of Santa Teresa, about 800 m north of the soccer field. The beach, by the point-break area, is about 100 m away across the road.
What the bungalows are like
Each bungalow is circular, with whitewashed walls and a big thatched roof that stretches over a terrace with a table and chairs. Inside, you’ll find tile floors, soft lighting and a queen bed.
Accommodations
- Bungalows: eight in all, one of them accessible, each with a queen bed and a private hot-water bathroom.
- Rental house: three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a kitchen, on the second floor.
Pool, food and downtime
The pool sits at the center of the garden, ringed by loungers. Breakfast is included at the open-air restaurant. The hotel can arrange surf lessons and board rental, massages, yoga on request and quad rental.
