One of the best resorts we have seen. Incredible environment, straight at the beach. Very nice rooms (apartments), very friendly staff, very good quality food. The area around the hotel is still under development and more focused on surf youth. Also the roads are not really up to standards. But the stay itself was magic

Nantipa is beautiful in a place full of beautiful people ! The setting is perfect , the concierge staff are lovely and very helpful . The restaurant is on the beach and the most amazing view especially at sunset with a pina colada ! Their restaurant food does let the hotel down as it's very average . Alonso was very helpful in sorting out a problem we had in the restaurant. The beach in front of the hotel is not good for swimming - it didn't really matter to us as we just walked down the beach - which goes in forever and never that many people . Perfect for surfing - beginners and good surfers . It really is a lovely hotel but at holiday time it would be filled with children so not a place to go if you want a quiet time !

10 out 10 in my opinion. What a wonderful experience. The staff are so committed to enhancing the hotel guests overall stay. Great dining on the beach. Don't miss out on their special dinner on the beach under the stars. I think it was a six or seven course culinary treat. Rooms were wonderful great a/c and showers had plenty of pressure and hot water. Meet the owner Harry what a wonderful and welcoming person. Do not miss this if your going to stay on the beach in Santa Teresa you wo t be sorry

We enjoyed a much-needed vacation at Nantipa with our 10-month-old baby. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we truly cherished every moment of our stay. The resort was incredibly accommodating for families, making it a stress-free experience for us. Some of the highlights included: • A baby crib provided upon request, ready in our room when we arrived. • An in-room babysitting service, which gave us the chance to enjoy a few activities as a couple. • A shallow pool that was perfect for our little one to splash around safely. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. We are so grateful for the attention to detail and care provided during our stay. Nantipa is an ideal destination for families traveling with young children. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our trip so memorable. Pura Vida!

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.
