The hotel feels new, expensive design materials like in ceiling ac, multiple sheer curtains, dropped ceiling with lights, rain showers, but with an eye to ecology. Not packed even in high season and no loud drinking adults. Just gracious families quietly enjoying the natural beach and quiet pool. Feels super safe, super clean, so friendly.

The villas at the Nantipa were wonderfully relaxing and the surf was fantastic. We enjoyed the customer service and the small town of Santa Teresa was something to be experienced. Nothing but good things to say and this place was the highlight of our trip.

Rare is it to find a quiet boutique paradise with accommodations and service to match. This is what we found at Nantipa. The staff doted on us throughout our entire stay and all of our requests were met. Our spacious room was clean and well appointed. The bed and pillows were comfortable for a perfect night's sleep. Our bungalow back door opened to a private area with a hammock, seating and a pristine plunge pool. Our bungalow was nestled close to the waves and the like the paths on the grounds had a relaxing, natural jungle feel. The pool was beautiful and there was always seating with an umbrella when needed. The big draw was the spectacular "3 in 1" sunsets with a changing panorama of colour. The open air restaurant and beach sitting area offered perfect views for this night time highlight. We ate breakfast at the restaurant but we had a choice of many similarly priced and less expensive options within walking distance. We were met by capuchins and other wildlife on our morning walks on the beautiful beach that extends in either direction for miles and miles. We will be back!

Excellent location, rooms, grounds, beach and outstanding staff that were always helpful and pleasant! Rooms were very clean, resort is hidden in nature but very close to shops and restaurants.
