Hotels in Puntarenas

A two-bedroom apartment in Monteverde, Puntarenas, suited to families or small groups who want a self-catered base near Costa Rica's cloud forest reserves. Practical and independent rather than resort-style — book here if nature access and flexibility matter more to you than pools and on-site dining. Easy to book, with no major lead-time required.

Batik Costa Rica sits on the Playa Hermosa to Manzanillo corridor in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas — a Pacific coast stretch that suits surfers, couples, and travellers after something low-key and less developed. Rates are most competitive in the shoulder season (May to July). Book 6 to 8 weeks out for dry-season travel; green-season availability is generally easy.

Hotel Horizon Yoga Santa Teresa is a laid-back, yoga-inflected base in one of Costa Rica's best Pacific beach towns. It suits first-timers who want easy access to Santa Teresa's surf and restaurant scene without the price tag of a full-service resort. Book in dry season (December–April) for best conditions, or shoulder months for lower rates and easier availability.

Hotel Nantipa is Santa Teresa's SLH-affiliated boutique hotel, sitting on Puntarenas Province's most in-demand surf coastline. It's the right call if you want independently verified luxury standards without the scale of a full resort. Book in shoulder season (May or November) for the best value on a premium address.
