My girlfriend and I stayed at Hotel Buenos Aires recently on a short beach excursion during a longer trip to Costa Rica. The value of what this hotel offers is truly fantastic. The view makes the walk up the hill totally worth it. In fact, many walk up the hill for the view alone. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. All the rooms also have that wonderful view referred to above.
The couple that runs the hotel were so welcoming and helpful with every aspect of our experience ranging from surfing, to dinner and everything in between.
We gotta say, the seafood dinner at the hotel restaurant was incredible. Also, the ambiance was the best in town. It sits high above Santa Teresa with a view of the Pacific. You feel like you're floating above it all.
The hotel pool, located next to the restaurant, provided a great way to cool down relieving us from the hot Costa Rican sun.
This place was a great find. Enjoy!

I first discovered Hotel Buenos Aires about 10 years ago with some friends while we happened to stumble upon it looking for a spot to catch the sunset and maybe get a cold beverage. Little did I know that this spot would become one of my favorites in the world...not only because of the location, view, and physical beauty, but because of the friendships we have made here. There is no better place to wake up in the morning, get a 180 degree surf check, cool off in the pool, relax with a book in the hammocks, or sip a fresh pina colada in the mixed of good company. The rooms are cleaned daily and the stocked fridge in every room is always a welcomed sight after the days adventures. I have continued to frequent the hotel and have brought countless friends and family to enjoy a little taste of paradise. Whether it is your first time at Hotel Buenos Aires or your a frequent visitor to the hill, Javier and Florencia will always greet you with a smile and treat you like family.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the end of November and this was the BEST place we visited during our trip of Costa Rica. I had read the great reviews before I booked this place but it exceeded all expectations. The location is close to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants of Santa Teresa but far enough up the hill to get unobstructed views of the beautiful sea and sunset. The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay, and are spacious and cleaned daily. There is also a well kept garden area and a swimming pool, and the restaurant below serves great food and offers a really good deal on breakfast for guests of the hotel. The room rate is also very reasonable compared to some of the other hotels situated further down the hill. But what really makes this place special though is Javi, the owner, he honestly couldn't do enough for us during our stay, picking us up on his quad bike, arranging activities and giving us great recommendations, he genuinely cares whether you enjoy your stay with him. We just didnt want to leave! Thanks again Javi!

Just got back from a week stay with Javi and Flo, the owners, best family vacation we have ever been on. They are so welcoming, feel like old friends, helpful with all activities for adults and kids. Ask Javi to make his famous chicken pizza, he loves making it for anyone who asks. Best location in all of Costa
