“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We recently stayed at Zula with our two young children, 2 & 4. It was perfect for us! Nice, clean, large, private cabina. There was a small kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals at home, which we did lots. The room was cleaned daily and we were given fresh towels. The pool was great and the surrounding gardens very nice and well kept. There's a big beer/water/pop fridge that you can help yourself to, on the honesty system. (write down what you take) We enjoyed that! The owner was super nice , very helpful and always easy to find if you needed help with anything. He is extremely hard working, dividing his time between the apart/hotel and their amazing restaurant. You must eat there! The smoothies are gigantic and delicious and the falafel.....best ever! I am still trying to duplicate it at home, no luck yet. Prices extremely reasonable. Overall we loved Santa Teresa and will be returning. We would book at Zula again for sure!

“Dreamy Surfing Vacation with a baby”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

My wife and I together with our 11 months baby boy stayed for two weeks at Zula Inn hotel in August 2012 (they brought us a Pack n' Play baby bed as well :))
we really enjoyed staying there! the place is very clean, quiet, surrounded with beautiful flora nad trees. In the middle of Zula-inn there is a great swimming pool, a nice bar with free coffee+tea which includes also some very nice background music,the rooms are actually cool cabins which have air-con and lcd T.V and there is also a small cosy kitchen inside them.

Zula Inn resides in a very good location , 5 minutes walk from good surf points coffee bar and surf shop.
It is a very relaxing place, great maintanance staff - very pleasant people and take care of the place with a smile on their face... and last but not least - the owners Avi and Rotem are very nice people and friendly and... they are always there if you need them, Avi even took me to some nice surf breaks around Mal Paiz when the waves were too big at Santa Tereza.

we all had a very good time there and definitely will be glad to back there for a dreamy vacation :)

Room Tip: All rooms are the same (there is a two rooms as well) we stayed in regular one front of the pool

“Perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Santa Teresa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013 via mobile

Nice Cabinas tha are fully equipped whith everything that you need.
The pool, sundeck and bar are a good place to hang out. But the best thing about Zula in is the short Walkingdistance to the wonderful beaches of Santa Teresa.
If you have any problem or if you want to book a trip, just ask the owners, they joyfully organize everything for you.

“Great Place to Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

This place was excellent! It was the cleanest hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica. Having your own little home with kitchen is great. Rotem is a great guy and made sure we were very well taken care of. Pool was nice, beach was nicer, and this was the nicest place we stayed at in Costa Rica. Will hopefully return someday.
