Independent, Tempate District hotels

"Amazing resort with friendly staff, great food, beautiful beaches and views. Highly recommended "

"This place was absolutely gorgeous. The Hotel Santarena was incredibly clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, and it came off as genuine and warm. It was my first time to Costa Rica and I would recommend the Santarena to anyone that wants to have an amazing experience. It was a quick drive from the airport in Liberia, and it was conveniently located in an area that was not far from other great places to experience like Tamarindo and the Diamante Eco Park. And if experiencing local life and food is on your list of desires, just 10 minutes away was Potrero with some incredible food with the kindest locals at Los Abuelos. I recommend the Red Snapper. But seriously, the Santarena was a great stay experience. It was all inclusive and we were so incredibly well taken care of. "

"Its a very eco friendly hotel. If you are looking for typical Hyatt/Marriott this is not for you! Food was awesome, staff were awesome! True Costa Rica experience"

"Quiet and beautiful. Very friendly staff. Clean and spacious. Comfortable beds. Loved the pools and the two nearby beaches. Wish coffee was available in the rooms but we found a great local coffee shop a short drive away."

"Loved my room with private pool overlooking the ocean! Just a short walk or quick golf cart ride down to the beach & Las Catalinas! "
