Heads up travelers: don't waste your time here! While this hotel seved it's purpose, we will never return, or recommend this place. There are MUCH better options very close by. We arrived exhausted from traveling for our two day reservation. Against our better judgement we were persuaded to extend our reservation with the promise of a reduced rate for staying... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my two-hour beginners surf lesson with Foley, an experienced surfer and longtime Santa Teresa resident. Originally from Holland, Foley fell in love with this surfing spot over ten years ago and surfing and teaching others to surf are clearly his passion! He was so friendly and encouraging - as a slightly skittish person, I was so grateful... More

This is the first time I have ever given 5 stars! This place was perfect. Ok, the room was definately not 5 star, it was a basic room, with a/c, a fridge, a small kitchenette (which had everything you would need), a double bed, a bunkbed, a bathroom with shower and some shelves and a place to hang some clothes....

Smack dab in the middle of playa carmen and playa Santa Teresa. Wake up in the morning stumble to the rancho and get a coffee on your 20 second walk to beach. Look left to playa carmen then right to santa teresa and feast your eyes on some of the best beach breaks in Costa Rica. After a good day... More

We arrived in Santa Teresa with no idea where to stay. After looking at most other accommodations this place had everything you need. 4 places with or without a kitchen are available. The beach is a small walk down from our room, and it is a perfect bay to swim and hang out. To the left and right is a... More

ranchos itaúna has some very nice and comfortable rooms, with or without kitchen. it is well equipped and has air-condition. Besides it has a beach bar with restaurant. The view is amazing and especially at sunset you need to be at ranchos itaúna even if you are not staying at the apartments! The cocktails are delicious and while sunset they... More

Our time at Ranchos Itauna was SPECTACULAR, I mean it's hard to complain about such a fantastic location, with stunning visuals, and a perfect view of the sunset over the Pacific. We are not surfers, and rather came here for the R&R. We arrived after Easter but before the Rainy season hit. Intentionally timing this as to avoid crowd, our... More

I stayed there for two weeks end of august/beginning of september 2011. Had the best holidays ever... Hammock between the palm trees, surf twice a day, the best food and great weather for the rainy or "green" season. The surf was great, but too big for me on a few days. Ask Peter the owner, he's the man with tight... More
