This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was paradise! The place is new, very clean and really beautiful. Best of all it's located right on the beach. You literally walk out your bungalow door and you can see the ocean. Check it out if you have the chance - you will NOT... More

We fell in love with the small town of Santa Teresa, as we did with Playa Cielo. We were immediately welcomed by the staff and shown the property. It was gorgeous and the aroma of lavender permeated the air. We were lucky that there was one bungalow open that day. So we took it! We were hidden away safely among... More

Without an itinerary, reservation or plan, I was looking for a place to spend a few nights. Upon entering the property, I was warmly greeted and shown the accommodations. I need not look any further; paradise found! My single room bungalow was spacious, elegant and luxurious. I was delighted with the thoughtful, eco-conscious design and local materials used. From the... More

While looking for a place to stay in Santa Teresa, we decided to check out Playa Cielo. After seeing what was available around the area, we weren't expecting much but were pleasantly surprised when we saw inside one of the bungalows. It has high ceilings and was clean & nicely furnished with an American touch. It has a comfortable king... More

Loved the accommodations. Very comfortable and clean with excellent on-beach location. Beach is not great for swimming, but very beautiful. Adele (owner) was very helpful in recommending and setting up activities. The main part of Santa Teresa was a bit of a walk, but a market was in short walking distance.

We stayed with our 3 young children and had a great time. I believe it is the best place in Santa Teresa. The casita was very nice, the kids loved the outdoor shower! We walked the 50 yards to the beach every morning and the kids really liked stopping by the pool to release the crabs that had fallen inside... More

When we were looking for a place to stay in Santa Theresa, we started out with some high expectations. Mainly we were looking for three things: We wanted a place right on the beach, that had a pool, and a view of the ocean from the room. At Playa Cielo, we found that and so much more. Not only are...

Playa Cielo is a beautiful and intimate hotel. The cabinas/cabanas are absolutely lovely and styled in a wonderfully natural and beachy manner. Comfortable beds, pillows, towels, useful small kitchen, cozy outdoor patio area with dining table and chairs as well as two lovely hammocks, made our stay all the more peaceful. The very short walk across the property to the... More
