I stayed here for just under a month and from the very start of the booking process the staff were beyond helpful, from splitting up our stay between two apartments, to helping us book fishing and snorkel trips to advice on Santa Teresa and the local area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, a well stocked kitchen and a super... More

Santa Teresa, is a place with natural wild life, pristine beaches and limited development. The roads are not paved and Yes, there are monkeys,... More

We stayed at the Raratonga Apartments for three days (June 29 - July 1) and it was amazing! We're hoping to visit again soon. When Alessia welcomed us, she gave us tips and recommended a couple of places for us to visit. Once we got to step into the apartment, we were surprised at how nice it was! The kitchen... More
