Reviews for Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience

Perfect Couples Get Away

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Nantipa is an amazing hotel experience all around. The staff are fantastic, the restaurant is amazing, and the overall vibe is so relaxing. Highly recommend for any couple wanting to get away. The hotel booked everything for us, from the hopper plane and transportation to/from the Cobano strip to all of our adventure.

Terrible Vibe

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Something was very off about this hotel. It is not a good option if you want to surf or swim. Both require trekking to get there. The pathways require shoes so it is not possible to grab your board and walk barefoot to the beach. House music blares from speakers on the beach. I don't go to Costa Rica for this type of atmosphere. The yoga mats are filthy and there is no spray to clean them. I took my own wipes and was disgusted at what it looked like when I cleaned the mat. On the two occasions I tried to eat at the restaurant, it was occupied by huge parties of guests (20-25 people). For an expensive restaurant, it felt harried and cramped. There are no creatures in the forest - no howler monkeys and few reptiles (I was there for over a week). I found this disconcerting. The staff are pleasant but not once did I feel the spirit of pura vida. Found the layout of the rooms odd - bed is in the middle of the room with a desk behind the headboard and two huge hanging globes on either side of the bed that I always bumped my head on. In no way did this experience justify the price. I am certain I would have had a much better time in one of the very good Airbnb's in town.

Amazing concierge!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

I would like to express my highest appreciation for Ms. Mariana, the concierge at Hotel Nantipa in Santa Teresa. Her dedication, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail transformed my stay into an unforgettable experience. Ms. Mariana demonstrated an exceptional ability to anticipate guests’ needs, offering personalized recommendations and organizing activities that perfectly aligned with my interests. Her warmth and willingness to assist in every situation were invaluable. I believe that the hotel management should recognize and commend such a devoted and competent employee, who significantly contributes to enhancing Hotel Nantipa’s positive reputation and ensures guests receive the highest standard of service.

Average or finally bad

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This hotel had an indépendant restaurant which rarely or not accept outsider guests. After 30mn négociation dealing with the receptionist we could have a table reserved and the food was nice ; we have spend more than 180$ for two but it’s ok. The next day at 9:15 we have asked to access to the bar for a late drink and the same receptionist after information from the bartender didn’t accept our request. It is a evidence this hotel do not need outsider money….

Great holiday stay in sea view villa

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Great stay at Nantipa Resort is on the beach and some villas are really located in front of sea with a small private pool Best place to enjoy sea activities but also secluded from city thrill during end year events Not all rooms have sea view mostly villas Restaurant on beach but you have many. Options for dining outside
