Enjoyable stay above Playa Santa Teresa
Very cool place with a very elevated view over Santa Teresa. A giant one-bedroom setup with the bathroom behind the bed means this is really only for couples comfortable with that setup. Check-in was coordinated over WhatsApp and we were greeted upon arrival. Our rental car made it up the steep driveway on the second attempt and there's a large flight of stairs, so you should feel comfortable climbing to get here.
We had issues with power, 1) where it went out in the city for several hours (understandable), 2) where the back half of the unit was out (maybe unit's circuit/breaker), knocking out our internet and refrigerator for the last 24h of our stay. We didn't get a quick response or this solved before our departure. This place is very expensive, so we would expect this to be handled better. That was disappointing as cell reception is spotty and we were without communication and appliances for 24h out of 4 days.
The kitchenette is located outside, and so blocking the fridge is necessary at night. We had monkey visitors at night open the drawers, knock over the garbage and attempt to open the fridge, but we didn't see them ever again.
Expensive, but cool. Takes a little while to get down, and especially back up, from the beach. But it felt safe and you can't beat the view and the deck featured in the photos. We hope our mixed bag of an experience isn't common for others.
