Villas in Malpais

" One hour into breakfast, there was very limited fruit, granola. The staff did not restock and I felt badly for those customers who arrived in the next 2 hours. This was experienced both days. At dinner, the servers never came to check on us, ask if we needed anything, how our food was. We found them to be quite curt and not customer focused. Housekeeping and gardeners A+; reception desk staff varied depending on who was working."

"Great villa. Amazing views. Very helpful staff"

"The room was spotless and comfortable"

"We had an amazing stay at Fuego Lodge in Santa Teresa and would absolutely recommend it! The property is incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made it feel comfortable and relaxing right from the start. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Santa Teresa—so everything you need is close by. It’s also just a quick 2-minute walk to Lifeguards Gym, which was a huge bonus for us. The staff were truly outstanding—super friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. They really made the experience feel personal. The pool area is beautiful and a great place to unwind, surrounded by lush vegetation that gives the whole place a peaceful jungle vibe. It feels like a little oasis. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and both agreed this was one of the coolest places we have ever stayed at! Breakfast each morning was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, plus a great coffee and tea station to start the day right. Overall, a 5-star experience—we’d definitely stay here again"

"The electricity went out. They need solar lights along the gravel path leading to the bungalows. I tripped over the speed bump on the path and my injuries effected my entire trip. Perfectly avoidable."

"The ultimate chic Bohemian experience"

"We went for the standard room but it was beautiful and spacious and very clean. They came twice a day to service the rooms and did a wonderful job. The pool is the best we have ever experienced… always a lovely temperature and great design. Areas for improvement: more sun beds around the pool (a couple of times there were none available) and yoga should be included free of charge for guests. Every other hotel we stayed in during our trip had this included - when you pay a lot for the room you don’t expect to be charged for these services. "

"Place was spotless. But most importantly, Roger and his staff were excellent and created a tremendously friendly environment. Then, you talk about the view and the food. All top notch. Don’t miss this place. "

"It is a wonderful place - clean, well kept, and comfortable. The pools are great, and the beach is stunning. Lovely staff and the manager Hilda is so attentive. The breakfast has great options and is so fresh. Really recommend this hotel. "
