Independent Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve hotels

"Ylang Ylang embodies Costa Rica’s motto - “Pura Vida!” The property is stunning - right on the ocean and surrounded by lush tropical trees, plants and flowers. It is clean, quiet and extremely well-maintained with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The restaurant has incredible fresh, delicious meals. The staff are amazing - warm, friendly and very welcoming. We loved our stay at Ylang Ylang and hope to be able to return one day. "

"Great breakfast and location! "

"Great hotel and location, maybe slightly outdated but we liked tropical style of the hotel. The hotel is oriented mainly for Spanish speaking people."

"Just stayed at Blooma Boutique Hotel in Santa Teresa and honestly, it’s the best spot in town. The location couldn’t be more perfect – walking distance to the beach, with a supermarket right next door, and some of the best restaurants around. The Bakery (amazing for breakfast and lunch) is just across the street, and if you’re up for a quick 5-minute ride you’ll be at favorites like Koji’s, Amici, and Katana. The hotel itself is beautifully designed. The pool feels super private and relaxing, the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, and every detail in the rooms makes you feel right at home. Most importantly, the staff make the experience even better – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. Special thanks to Johan at reception, who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. If you’re heading to Santa Teresa, Blooma Boutique Hotel is definitely the place to stay."
