Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience

Nantipa in Santa Teresa is truly remarkable. The resort offers a rare combination of best-in-class food, location, and ambiance. Every detail — from the open-air design to the lush, retreat-like landscaping — creates a sense of calm seclusion while still being steps away from Santa Teresa’s vibrant energy. During our stay, we enjoyed both massages and surf instruction — and both experiences were fantastic. The spa treatments were deeply relaxing, and our surf guide was patient, fun, and made the lessons one of the highlights of our trip. What stood out most was how effortlessly Nantipa balances high-profile luxury with complete privacy. You can disappear into their beautifully designed grounds, yet still enjoy world-class dining and service that feels both personal and natural. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how travel should feel — restorative, inspiring, and unforgettable

Went for just a couple days with friends for a retreat. We wished we could've stayed longer to enjoy the facilities and Santa Teresa more. The facilities are very nice, everything very clean, good service, good food. The rooms where really comfortable and they nice details for us like a welcome cocktail in the room, chocolates, etc I understand this is low season, so noise, amount of people, etc is different as well as prices. But at least for this of year I think it was very good value for money

Our family travels a lot, and this has been one of our best experiences. The staff are all amazing , kind, attentive, and genuinely warm. Special thanks to Daniela for her wonderful advice and kindness. The rooms are spotless, beautifully designed, and cleaned twice a day. Everything feels relaxed and high-quality. Excellent value for money ,truly five-star service. We loved every minute and will definitely be back! 🌴💛

It really is a special place. We were traveling with our kids and our friends and their kids. The kids enjoyed playing football on the beach and wading around the rocks on the beach during low tide. We stayed in a beachfront villa with private pool which was spectacular. It was perfect for our group - our kids spent a lot of time in the pool. We ate several meals at the restaurant Manzu, and everything was delicious. My favorite thing about the resort is their commitment to sustainability - especially their trash clean up effort which rewards kids with a free smoothie (made with actual fruit!) when they fill a bucket with trash from the beach. Sadly, despite the beach appearning very clean - there was a lot of plastic that has washed up from other places. The staff was fantastic - everyone was so friendly! I also enjoyed the complimentary morning yoga session. We loved our experience and will highly recommend it to others.

Amazing trip! The staff are so welcoming, nice and helpful. Food is absolutely delicious! Room was private, spacious, light and stunning view. Absolutely perfect 10/10
