There are two really good things about the Blue Surf Sanctuary, the actual grounds and the service. Blue Surf Sanctuary is as described, a boutique hotel. It has four free standing bungalows, a pool, and an indoor/outdoor lounge and kitchen. The bungalows are definitely the nicest hotel rooms I have stayed in pretty much anywhere especially on a surf trip.... more

We just got back from a wonderful week at Blue Surf Sanctuary, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. The bungalows are extremely well-appointed and they are even nicer than they appear in the photos. They are brand-new and very high quality, with extremely comfortable beds, awesome showers and bathrooms, and wonderful balconies for relaxing with a... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Blue Surf Sanctuary. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel incredibly welcome at what is probably one of the best value for money accommodations in Santa Teresa - a largely unspoilt stretch of surf, beach and nature on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The domestic flight from San... more

Santa Teresa is a long way from London but the team at Blue Surf made the trip worth while! The rooms are beautiful, huge beds, great bathrooms, great kitchen facilities and only 30 seconds from one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. We were also very lucky to have really consistent surf while we were there. While in... more

I just came back from a week at Blue Surf Sanctuary and am hard-pressed to think of a single bad thing to say about the place. It's located a one-minute walk from the most stunning beach, the rooms are beautiful, the staff takes great care of you (I loved waking up to a pot of fresh coffee a fruit every... more

My husband and i booked ten days holiday at Blue Surf with our one-year-old son. We wanted a holiday of surfing and relaxing which we did not know would be possible with a baby. Blue Surf were absolutely brilliant at enabling us to have the most wonderful chilled out - and high action surf holiday - in gorgeous santa teresa.... more

Truly a sanctuary! Blue Surf is an amazing place to stay. The bungalows are beautiful, clean and above all relaxing. I traveled there solo and I never felt more welcomed, taken care of and safe. Gloria, the owner and her amazing staff promote a welcoming and low key atmosphere while providing top notch accommodations. There is an open air kitchen... more

The property was phenomenal. It was always very well maintained by everyone. You did such a great job on every aspect from the decorating of the rooms to the wonderful hammock and swinging beds, that I believe we all sleep on at one time or another. I would definitely return, hopefully sooner than later. I have to say that we... more

The location is beautiful and the people are all very friendly. The villas are absolutely georgous - all the makings for an amazing vacation spot. The downfall of my stay there was being robbed while sleeping in my room- it was a very scary experience but we could see measures such as motion lights being installed at the end of... more

Management response from
BlueSurfSanctaury, owner

We were so happy to have M. and her group stay with us, as they were a lively and wonderful group of people......unfortunately, Costa Rica has the true reputation of occasional petty theft, so we seriously advise our clients to utilize the state of the art digital safes provided in each room, to protect their valuables. Apparently this advise was...

The Blue Surf Sanctuary/Safari Surf School was one of best 'specialized' travel experiences of my life. In short, both the hotel and surf school based on site; (Safari), captures the true essence of the sport. Long before I even arrived on the grounds I had numerous conversations with both Gloria Armond (owner of the hotel) and Tim Marsh (owner of... more
