This place is pretty, very well-situated, and the rooms are rather nice. The staff are uniformly super-friendly, helpful, and honest (thanks Hugo, Jaime, Junior, etc). This is high praise. Santa Theresa is an easy place to travel, and this is a downright pleasant place to park yourself for some R&R or a jumping-off spot for surfing or whatever.
The yoga platform is about as well situated as you could imagine, and I have to hand it to the people who set up this place for putting it in prime location, rather than some bungalow that could command a hefty fee. When we found that the shower did not work so well, someone was over in several minutes and fixed it. The restaurant was beautifully laid out in a teak-y rustic fashion, and the food was on the nicer side of standard. Wifi works well over the entire property, from what I've seen. AC was a nice addition... this place is humid.
Prices are on the slightly high side for the town, but this is no knock on the place; I found that the value was excellent. May be best for couples or families with kids, or a group of people who are looking for a swish crash-pad. This is not quite the hostel environment where you're meeting other travellers with any frequency. Of course, a friend and I arrived in the low season, so this may factor in.
In my view, you won't go wrong. Happy travels!
