Excellent place to rest and relax. Thanks to the exceptional attention of Abigail and David, who were always attentive to providing excellent service. The hotel is centrally located in Santa Teresa, close to restaurants, and there's even a supermarket right across the street. 100% recommended

Excellent hotel and staff service

We live up the coast and did a "no occassion" over-night trip. The Ventura was perfect. My only negative is that it is, as other reviewers noted, a little noisy. That said, we slept really, really well and the hotel does provide ear plugs. We had the garden terrace room at the back near the pool. Great room. Super comfortable. Walkable location to pretty much everything. We would definitely go back.

The hotel is small, but very nice, comfortable, and clean. The best thing is its super central and convenient location. The service is personalized and very friendly.

Really good hotel, very clean and in a great location. The staff were amazing and helped us with everything we needed, always with a big smile. Thank you!!

The room we rented was a suite on the second floor. I was surprised by how well-equipped it was; it was clean, the bathroom was very comfortable, and we even had a terrace.

The staffs were super friendly and know us by names even thought we were only staying for a few days. The hotel being connected to Aroma is also very convenient, especially with the 15% off discount. Would recommend this location and stay here again if I visit Santa Teresa in the future.

I visit Santa Teresa a lot and just recently found this hidden gem that I feel is close to a lot of the best stores and restaurants. And they actually have a restaurant associated with and right next to the hotel that was incredible! If fact I ate there 3 times in 2 days. Loved the toiletries they provided for the shower and my room was clean and perfect for 1-2 people - it could have a little better set up for hanging clothes, but that was the only thing that I could think of to help improve my room. They were also so accommodating when I messed up my dates - will definitely be back!

I travel a lot and stay in hotels of various price ranges in different countries, but I've never experienced such wonderful staff as at the Ventura! Abigail and David at reception take excellent care of the guests and make you feel good instantly. They not only answer all your questions but are also always up for a friendly chat. Two truly wonderful people ! 🙂 I enjoyed my stay so much that I returned after just a few days, and they even kindly gave me an upgrade. What you get for this price compared to other accommodations in Santa Teresa is outstanding. You walk into your room and immediately feel comfortable. Everything feels new and clean, and the toiletries in the bathroom smell fantastic. I also loved the fact that I could have a coffee in my room. On top of that, there's the excellent breakfast in the restaurant next door. I will definitely return to Ventura on my next visit in Santa Teresa. <3

The location is amazing, and the rooms are clean and pleasant. There was a worker named Abby who was very helpful and nice. I truly recommend this hotel

Everything was perfect. I would stay here again.

A good, centrally located place to stay in Santa Teresa

Clean rooms and refreshing plunge pool. Right on the main road and close to everything! Exceptional staff - Abi and David addressed our immediate concerns super conveniently through WhatsApp or a simple office visit! If you get their breakfast option, you're able to use your voucher next door at Aroma - delicious smoothies and probably the best tuna bowl I've ever had. Will definitely come back 🙂

I believe that, considering the climate, part of the service should be providing drinking water in the rooms or with a communal water dispenser to avoid generating so much waste.

Fantastic!!!! I would come back a thousand times, thank you all, especially the receptionists.

Beautiful rooms and great location to the beach and restaurant. The restaurant at the hotel has great food and the staff is amazing.

The location of Ventura Santa Teresa is truly excellent. You are just a few minutes' walk from the beach, and other places in Santa Teresa are also easily accessible. The room itself was small, but perfectly fine in itself. However, upon arrival, we noticed that the drain in the bathroom was clogged, which was not ideal. During our stay, the power also went out throughout the entire village. Of course, that can happen, and there is little the hotel can do about it. What we did find disappointing, however, is that there was absolutely no check-in or communication from the hotel with the guests. Because many restaurants were closed due to the power outage, we couldn't find anywhere to eat and ended up just going to bed early. It would have been nice if someone from the hotel had simply checked if everything was okay or perhaps given a tip on what was still open. It wasn't mentioned again the next day either, which gave the impression that there was little attention paid to the guests at that moment. That being said, the location remains a major plus, and the room is otherwise fine for a stay in Santa Teresa. With a little more attention to small practical matters and guest interaction, this place could really become even better.

Cheers to the extremely friendly and nice people we met, working at the hotel and the restaurant 🙂

Excellent place, highly recommended, it's very close to the beach

Our stay was, without exaggeration, the best experience we’ve ever had. From the very beginning everything was outstanding, starting with the complimentary room upgrade to a much nicer room at no extra cost. That gesture alone made a big difference. The room was spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed to feel at home. It featured a balcony with a hammock—perfect for relaxing after the beach—excellent air conditioning, and a very well-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, utensils, paper towels, and all the essentials. There were also plenty of hooks and practical storage spaces, which may seem like a small detail but truly makes a difference. The bathroom was fully stocked with quality soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Everything was spotless, and housekeeping was done daily. They also provided beach and pool towels, which was a great added touch. The location is excellent—close to everything, yet peaceful enough to fully relax. They also offer parking, which makes the stay even more convenient if you’re traveling by car. The staff truly elevated the experience. Abigail was especially kind and proactive, checking in about our arrival time and always available to assist us with anything we needed. Overall, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and attentive. This hotel perfectly combines comfort, thoughtful design, and genuine hospitality. It was an exceptional stay from start to finish. 10 out of 10. We would absolutely return.

I 100% recommend the Hotel Ventura. The staff is very kind and helpful, our room with a terrace was simply sublime, the bedding was wonderful, and the pool was a real bonus after the beach, which is just a 3-minute walk away. I will definitely return on my next trip to Santa Teresa.

Very comfortable hotel in a great location. Close to the beach, restaurants, and supermarkets. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent cleanliness and a super comfortable room with a kitchenette and everything.

Nice hostel 🙂 Rooms are okay, you can tell that they aged a bit and I had a problem with the AC. However, lovely staff! Really nice paper and super helpful 🙂 Quite close to the beach and you can rent a surfboard there so it is perfect 🙂

Excellent service. Abigail is the best, always with the best energy, and David is super attentive and friendly!

Had a very nice stay!

Santa Teresa is noisy! The hotel is on the only street through town so every motorcycle and 4x4 is heard loudly! Our room was like a small “cage” at the front facing it all and it was difficult, even to sleep. With our luggage in the room we had 2-3 ft square to move about. David was kind enough to find a different space for us for a great part of the stay which helped a lot! Very kind people. Very clean space. Very safe.

Very nice hotel, new, clean rooms and comfortable beds, hot shower (not to be underestimated), and the option of having breakfast, lunch, and dinner next door with a 15% discount on everything! There's a small outdoor pool, which we never used, and lovely common areas with large sofas!

Staying at Ventura Santa Teresa was an incredible experience! The staff were super helpful and friendly and the location is epic! The place is extremely clean and the vibe is excellent. There is so much to see around the area and I’m dying to go back soon!

The Ventura Santa Theresa was a fantastic spot for our family - the standout at this hotel is definitely the service from the day we booked to the day we departed. The front desk/office team was literally there for any and every question and were prompt in responding to even the smallest of requests. They assisted in planning activities and hooked us up with incredible tours with locals who were able to take us to spots that many other vacationers were unaware of. The hotel is super clean and modernized and in a very centralized location. The sheets, beds and pillows were super comfy and the housekeeping team did a lovely job refreshing our rooms every day. And while some of the rooms are on the smaller side, in all honesty we wanted to spend most of our time outdoors anyway. The plunge pool in the rear of the hotel, while small as noted in other reviews, was incredibly refreshing after a day at the beach in the sun and we used the upstairs verandas every night for happy hour.

She highlighted the cleanliness, location and communication with the staff; she would add an electric kettle to the room.

We had a lovely stay here with our young children in the balcony room. The kitchenette was well outfitted and really functional, and we loved the included breakfast. Very delicious, suitable for children too, and the fact they have a high chair is a nice family friendly touch. We especially wanted to thank Michael for his very efficient friendly service at most of our breakfasts! They also let us order food from the restaurant to our room when it felt too difficult to have dinner in the restaurant with the kids. Being able to rent a surfboard from them made things super easy, and the location couldn't be closer to the beach without being beachfront. We would stay again 🙂

Center spot ! Perfect for work or travel

Clean rooms, excellent service, responds to every question and request, courteous and good service, I recommend everyone to come, great place 🥇

A small, wonderful hotel right on the main street. The staff is incredibly friendly and does everything to make guests feel comfortable. The location is very central, with many restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and the long beach all within easy walking distance. We stayed in the balcony suite, which was spotlessly clean and modern. Private parking and a small pool for cooling off are also available. Breakfast at the on-site Cafe Aroma is highly recommended! We would definitely book there again.

Everything was top notch at Ventura Santa Theresa hotel. The staff were super friendly and helped me all my excursion bookings. They were also funny and easy to chat with. The rooms were clean, AC strong, bed comfortable, shower temp/pressure was great. The outdoor seating/common area is also wide for many people. The comp breakfast was delicious, located at the restaraunt next door. Location was close to the white water surfing at carmen beach.

Very nice place, good location and the staff's service was a 10/10

A very modern and beautifully furnished hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and we received a truly warm welcome. The hotel is very centrally located right on the main street. This is very convenient because everything is easily accessible on foot. However, if you're looking for something a bit quieter, the street noise might be somewhat bothersome. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable.

A great place. Great attention to detail. Friendly and attentive staff. Very clean and tidy. The pool is quite small, but that's understandable given the proximity to the ocean. No TVs in the rooms. But they weren't missed.

I love this place! I've stayed twice and am already planning a third. ❤️ The hotel is very clean, offers several amenities, is conveniently located, and the staff is very friendly. A special thanks to Abigail, Joel, and David, who are always willing to go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable while enjoying your stay.

It was super nice; we even got an upgrade to a balcony suite. Breakfast in the little restaurant next door was also really good. There's a supermarket right across the street, and the beach is just a few meters away. Absolutely fantastic!

Everything was just perfect! Super service. Abigail organised our trip to Isla Tortuga. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully served. We are a family of 4.

This small hotel truly delivers big on quality! The attention to detail in catering to every guest's needs was truly impressive, making us feel completely pampered. The service was consistently great, delicious food, and our room was impeccably clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend for a peaceful and enjoyable stay!

Hands down one of the best travel experiences we had. I found the hotel on Agoda but reached out directly to book and felt immediately welcomed with our stay. Daniel was exceptional… and yes I always have a lot of questions, the whole concierge team was incredible and super responsive. Always ready to help and engage with us to make sure we had everything we needed. They coordinated rides from the airport and the drivers were on time and ready to greet us with smiles. When we arrived our room was ready. The room had everything we needed towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, rental surfboards, a restaurant below for anything we needed. Location wise this was a great place to stay, we were walking distance to the beach Playa Carmen. About 3 miles away from Santa Teresa beach , but we are not partiers so we didn’t mind being further away from the action. The food spots near us were walkable and incredible. The swimming pool is more of a dipping pool but even with 9/10 rooms filled we always felt like we had the common areas to ourselves to drink coffee in the morning or sit in the evening. The only thing that was slightly a down fall was that construction was happening right in front of the hotel. It was loud all week long because they literally were making and creating a new road. I think if that was not happening it would be so much more peaceful. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend booking with them again!

Ventura is in the bustling small community Santa Teresa yet once you enter the hotel a sense of serene calm takes over. Our garden room was in the back near the small but cool dipping pool. Beds were comfy and room provided plenty of space and the outdoor private porch area was a bonus. The outdoor common area with sofa allowed for a chill vibe. Then there is the breakfast..one of the best we have had in CR! Pancakes, French Toast Oh My! Gallo Pinto was also fresh and delish. The staff was extremely helpful and was on top of anything we needed. Pura Vida for sure!!

The hotel is adequate. Good bed. Location close to the beach. But the street was flooded.

The hotel is tiny (both the apartments and the pool area) but really cozy. One of the more modern stays we’ve been to in Costa Rica and we really enjoyed it! Breakfast was great & the employees were really friendly!

A small but excellent hotel. Very well located. David and Abi's service is exceptional!

We spent one night in that hotel on our CR motorcycle trip. Location is close to the beach but just on an extremely busy dirt road. Tiny small rooms but very smart layout to using every square inch of the space ! Breakfast vas average. We had the most fun at this are to riding on beaches and crossing rivers !
