What a beautiful oasis just off the dusty main drag of Santa Teresa! A large, comfortable, and clean bungalow was our home for 4 nights. The huge shower was amazing. Beach access is directly across the road. The breakfast (included in the price) is a continental breakfast, but my husband enjoyed the banana pancakes more than once! One afternoon we returned to our room to find flowers sprinkled across our freshly made bed! I highly recommend Manala!

Best experience! Very good location, and nice staff.

I can recommend this hotel, it's a really nice place at a really beautiful place.
The only problem about this area are the dusty streets.... After every car the is a huge dust-cloud... But this is problem to all hotels and hostels around there.

What a great hotel in a great little town. As we took the dirt road from tambor at the start of our trip my wife and I were a little nervous as the road isn't paved and A LOT of dust. When we got to the hotel we felt somewhat relaxed. We spent a day and a half adjusting from the NYC lifestyle and alas we felt the magic of santa Teresa.

An improtant note- if this is your first time to santa Teresa, the road is very dusty and not paved. My wife and I are very clean and the hotel served as a haven for us. For us a major downfall is the dusty roads but with such good surf and and great beach we simply got used to the dusty roads. There are hotels on the main road with a few up the side of the mountain to get an ocean view, but Hotel Manala is by far the nicest hotel on the main strip in our price range. We looked at some of the other more expensive hotels and didnt see anything worth paying more for. The value is Definitely in Hotel Manala.

The staff at Manala are so helpful we don't even know what else they can do for us. The owner definitely shows how much she cares for the hotel. With a warm smile and greeting she makes you feel at home. Fabian and Ronald in the office definitely make great recommendations and help with any other info you might need. The cleaning in the room is so quick that the room is cleaned before were back from breakfast. The continental breakfast is included- fruit, juice, and coffee. Banana pancakes are a must. The extras at breakfast are very reasonably priced.

We rented an ATV from the hotel and it was very competitively priced to the rental shops on the strip. I would recommend renting an ATV to see more of the town and to go to the neighboring beaches.

The location of the hotel is perfect- far enough from all the commotion but close enough to walk to restaurants and super markets. The beach access is right in front of the hotel and access to great surf spots. The hotel also has a pool but with the beach so close we didn't sit there at all. This would be very good for a family.

My wife and I had a great time and would 1000% recommend this place to anybody- Single, couples, and families.
