Everything. This property gets 5 star from me. Beautiful territory, beautiful yoga shala and pool, amazing uncrowded beach in 5 min walk. And what's more important (because I stayed in 2 more places at that location), it is located on the road, so Sim card will have connection and cars and taxis can reach easily even in heavy rain (It is important to consider while in Costa Rica). I think it is best option for yoga retreats and TTCs. Will do mine there next time! Also breakfast there was the most tasty than in other places. Lady there really cooked great.

Tucked away in the lush jungle of Mal País, this intimate hotel is magical. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by the sounds of nature—howler monkeys in the distance, birdsong at sunrise, and the gentle rustle of the trees in the evening. It feels like a hidden sanctuary where time slows down, and every detail invites you to truly relax. The rooms are well designed: simple, elegant, and in harmony with the natural surroundings. Waking up to sunlight filtering through the trees and falling asleep to the rhythm of the jungle is an experience you won’t forget. Everything is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to feel at home while still immersed in the wild beauty of Costa Rica. There are hiking trails and horses to rent for tours as well and a stunning, private waterfall. Star Mountain creates a place for you to undo the stresses of your life. The reception was exceptional: warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making my stay special. Located just minutes from stunning beaches and Mal País’ laid-back surf culture, this hotel offers the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility. If you’re looking for an authentic, peaceful escape in paradise, this place is an absolute gem.

The beaches in Santa Teresa were beautiful and not too crowded. Playa Mal Pais was not as nice. Santa Teresa was a bit touristy for my taste, but the one restaurant that we went to was really good. It was called Lora Amarilla. It was at the end of the road to the beach. I highly recommend it.

It's beautiful. Relaxed and easy to be there.

It's beautiful. Relaxed and easy to be there. The beaches are pretty untouched. It's not just Mal Pais, it's the whole Santa Teresa area. Perhaps a bit overcooked with a lot of young people - but don't let that bother you, it's an awesome holiday. Try Eat Street for delicous vegan bowls and not too bad wine. And if you are a pizza lover, then you must try Amicci. I'd say they are up there with the top Neopolitan style pizzas around the world. The beach life is of course the main attraction. My partner surfs and I sunbathe on the beach. Best of both worlds if you ask me. My favourite beach in the area is Playa Hermosa which is more family oriented and quieter.

Amazing surroundings and gorgeous rooms. The only thing we missed is some basic supplies in the room, like coffee, thee sugar. It is important to note that the rooms have their own kitchen with all supplies and a big fridge, but you need to bring grosseries. As we arrived late in the storm, we could not eat or dribk anything here. Upside, around the hotel there are great restaurants, walking distance, all open u till 9pm. Breakfast was perfect and the staff very nice and friendly. Rooms are decorated stylefull and very clean.

This place felt so homely, with a big kitchen and lots of storage areas, it would be easy to stay here for an extended time! One afternoon we sat in the garden area outside our house watching howler monkeys in the trees above us, such a cool experience!! The hosts were so lovely, my boyfriend and Mike went surfing together one morning! A great place and would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Santa Teresa/ Mal País!!!
