"Nice hotel, incredible view, lovely bar at sunset, nice rooms with stunning views.
I did not put 5 stars because the restaurant is not great, menu is limited. Could do much better for a relais et chateau."
"This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced. "
"This boutique hotel is so nice. Our Opium room was so beautiful and spacious. Just steps away from the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommand this hotel."
"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"

"Dining options were not the best, and the process to reserve a dining time was a horrible experience. If you don't mind eating at the buffet every night, you will be ok. "
"Our stay was fill with fun and laughter. We had a great time. Staff is warm and welcoming. Food was tasty, include 5 different resturant to eat from. Aswsome bar service. We will definitely return to this hotel in the near future."
"My sister and I just stayed 5 nights here with our 2 young kids and had a great time. The location was close to the beach and nearby town with stores and restaurants . The property grounds were clean and tastefully decorated. The staff were also amazing- the receptionist Gildie (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) was friendly and helpful with all our questions . The breakfast lady was also wonderful . Our only suggestion would be to switch up the breakfast options as they offered the same thing every day and it was limited , so after a few days we ended up buying some stuff in town to have. Overall a great place and we highly recommend it to anyone! "
"Beautiful beach with black sand. Perfect for swimming. Our villa was right on the beach gorgeous view of the sunsets every evening. Loved the wildlife around the hotel. The villa was spotless and very comfortable for our family of 6. The kitchen was fully stocked, had everything we needed. Would love to come again, "
"Fue una linda estancia muy acogedora, el lugar perfecto para descansar y desconectarse del bullucio de la ciudad, la playa a muy pocos metros y el personal nota 1000%"
