About Pranamar…

Former owners and visionaries of the Florblanca Resort (Santa Teresa, Costa Rica) graciously welcome you to experience their newest dream.

Pranamar Villas and Yoga Retreat, located on the pristine beach of Santa Teresa, is an intimate nine villa community designed with a tropical Asian and Costa Rican flair. Our large ocean facing Yoga Shala offers daily classes, workshops and retreats from highly experienced, certified teachers.

The open air bamboo-and-thatched roof restaurant features delicious healthy and exotic cuisine to stimulate the senses. Plunge into the chlorine-free, stone-tiled pool or just relax on cushions in the private Balinese gazebo. We invite you to step into the rhythm of nature, breath in the energy of the sea and discover...PRANAMAR.

 

 

“Surfin' Mama Made Possible”

My mother and I are Southern girls who have only ever waded in the white water of the sea. But at Pranamar we were able to make our surfing dreams come true.

We stayed in Villa 5, which is conveniently located right between the pool and the restaurant and bar area.

The villa itself is one of the smaller accommodations (I was told) but it was amazingly spacious, well air conditioned (when we chose), and had a gorgeous front room and bath. The staff did an amazing job at keeping it clean every day and stocked with items we needed. Any wish was their command.

From the moment we checked in, a smiling waiter greeted us with welcome drinks I would later learn are called "Shiva's Nectar" and are served with ginger, almond milk, and various fruits. The recipes are all Pranamar originals and are concocted from the minds of some of the most excellent chefs I've ever been honored to experience.

The restaurant and bar, I must take a moment to pause and give a standing ovation. They were phenomenal with their servers, bar tenders, host/ess, and chefs. The food is out of this world, gorgeous, and makes you feel healthy even when you eat the whole plate. The decor is fitting for the cool resort and the entire staff feels more like a family than employees--yet professionalism is their middle name.

And speaking of names, I knew each of the staff members, but not because of their name tags. They are so friendly and inviting, and learn your face as soon as they can. They will do anything to make your stay more comfortable, if you only allow it.

The pool, grounds, hammocks, and rooms (including yoga shalah) were spotless and beautiful on a daily basis for the week I spent there. If you visit and don't try the hammocks... you're missing out!

The yoga shalah is where Nancy, one of the sweetest women I've ever met, instructs in yoga. The week was spent leading my group through challenging (but not impossible) element-themed yoga lessons. Though I missed water, fire was my favorite. It energized as well as calmed me so that I could take the board for a ride instead of letting it bash and bruise me.

And this leads me to surfing: Bennie and Al, a cute and quirky couple who will become your best friends while teaching you the "zen of the art of surfing." She (Bennie) lifts your heart with her disarming and charming nature and encourages you to believe in your inner surfista, while Al keeps you laughing and fascinates you with the science (and the spiritual) of surfing. Truly a blessing that I got to experience their wonderful addition to my stay!

For shopping, the staff helped us find local places in Santa Teresa. I brought back unique hand-made jewelry, ceramics, and original design clothing made right there in the community. I ate casados (typical Costa Rican dinner plate) at adorable shops right in town and even chatted some with the locals (good to know Spanish).

(Side note: The bank does require you enter one at a time, passport required, and you might want to know some Spanish or take a guide or phrase book. This is only in town tho; no one in Pranamar gives you problems.)

Pranamar also helped us with finding things to do outside of the resort, other than surfing. We went to Mal País, a nearby town, and did a 2-hour zipline canopy tour, conveniently located down the road. All I can say is wow! Wow! WOW! It was very new to me, but I took to it like one of Costa Rica's famous tree-top monkeys! I also got a chance to experience the ATV rides on the beach. As bumpy as the roads are, do not get discouraged because they take you to the beach. If I had more time, I would have gone to Montezuma's zipline too, as well as horseback beach rides and nature rehabilitation center.

We also went to Vista de Olas, which had a gorgeous view, but paled majorly in comparison to Pranamar's pampering. And, to be fair, that's all I'll say.

Pranamar is my one-stop hang out forevermore when I'm in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

 

 

“PRANAMAR IS AWESOME - WE LOVED IT!”

My wife and I stayed in the beach villa and we had an incredible time! The beach villa was very nice and clean and the staff does a fantastic job and are extremely friendly. It's clear that the staff tries very hard to make sure that you're stay is nothing less than perfect. The food was very good (get the French toast for breakfast - it's phenomenal) and great drinks were served by a very talented bartender. My wife did the yoga classes and enjoyed them very much. The instructor is excellent at yoga and the classes were definitely challenging. I went surfing in front of the hotel and down the beach to Playa Hermosa and caught some really good waves early in the morning before the wind picked up. I would highly recommend Pranamar to anyone; the staff really does treat you like family!

 

 

“This place is just perfect... in every possible way!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pranamar.

Villas & Property - We stayed in a 2 bedroom poolside villa. It was beautiful clean and very open. The photos really don't do the rooms and property justice. The pool was stunning and almost felt like a river running through the property.

Food & Drink - We travel often to slightly off the beat and path locations and have become used to "acceptable" food when traveling. Boy was I surprised, the food at Pranmar was fantastic. I live in NY and so I don't throw the word fantastic and food around in the same sentence unless I really mean it! The fresh fish and wonderful salads were a real treat after yoga. Everything was full of flavor and totally fresh. Don't miss out on the drinks there are delicious with surprising combination like fresh basil and ginger in lemon aid. The non-alcoholic menu was so delicious that we hardly had any "real" drinks.

The Staff - I don't know how they did it, but it feels like this place is all staffed by a family. Everyone is so gentle and kind. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. We wanted to take an ATV tour up to Montizuma and see the waterfalls. Dago at the front desk wasn't sure if he'd be able to us a tour guide in time and offered to take us on his day off. We had such a great time and by the end of the day we'd made a new friend!

The Yoga, Surfing & Activities - With our villa a yoga class a day was included. Nancy the morning instructor was great. The yoga was a bit more advanced than our skill level but she was really helpful and continued to remind all of us that yoga was not about pushing but about breathing and being present. The slow flow class at sunset was so relaxing and pleasant I wish it was offered every day. We also took a surfing lesson from the on site surf school, it was really fun and our instructor was very patient!

Location - The place is truly beautiful and right on the beach. During the day when the tide is out there are natural occurring wade pools in the ocean that are warm and just a treat. A few hundred feet to the right is some of the best surfing in Costa Rica!

If you're considering going to Santa Teresa this is the location you should stay!

 

 

“Pranamar brings new meaning to hospitality!”

At Pranamar the title "staff" is replaced with "family" and they truly live up to it! Fresh exotic smoothies with every meal. Mouth watering gourmet dinners and desserts, my favorite was Susan's (owner by day, baker by night) famous flourless chocolate cake. The accommodations are very comfortable with beautiful Balinese accents! A truly amazing place to unwind and enjoy the pure life...Pura Vida!

 

“Beautiful design, low-key vibe - hits the perfect note for a relaxing getaway”

Pranamar is a beautiful, laid-back respite from the hectic pace of everyday life. The Balinese design of the villas is soothing and while each guest has their own personal space, there is something of a community feel in the way the villas are mostly situated alongside the pool. A yoga / surfer sensibility (albeit a high end one) best describes the feeling that is carried through from the welcome received to the service provided. The food was better than anywhere we ate in CR. Each morning we had a fantastic yoga class with Nancy and headed off to a fantastic full breakfast. It goes far beyond the typical continental breakfast usually served when breakfast is included on most hotel stays. It is a full menu and it is delicious. The fresh juice drinks are spectacular. My husband and I arrived just before the Christmas holiday rush and we were lucky to be able to sit at the bar and get to know the restaurant staff a bit. It was here that we were able to experience the Pranamar 'family.' Such a delightful group of people - they were not only attentive to our needs and requests, but they were such a pleasure to speak with as we sipped our cocktails or dined at the bar.

There is no pretension here, and that is what is so great about the property. This is a great place to unplug, without foregoing the luxury of great design, service, food and location.
It is not a Four Seasons (which are great as well), and it doesn’t try to be. Pranamar is an understated luxury experience and the price point is spot-on. While the service is great, it isn’t the type of place to go to be waited on hand and foot. Again, what we loved about it was that it provides its own unique experience with a distinct ‘personality’ as opposed to what you have at typical resorts. The garden areas are a work in progress, however it is a new property and that didn’t hinder our enjoyment. There are no beach chairs or umbrellas lining the beach. It isn’t that kind of place. Grab a sarong, take a walk and enjoy one of the most pristine, natural places you will ever visit. And leave your ‘baggage’ at home.

 

 

“We have never been here but we were "welcomed home"”

We visit this area often and over the years, have become familiar with most of the hotels.
We have been seeking a luxurious, secure and private oceanfront location that is also a good value. Thank you Pranamar for being all that. We had a wonderful, relaxing, romantic time.
The notion that the staff is a family is real: between meals in the dining room, I came across the owner and several staff having fun "levitating" a waiter (see picture).
We can't wait to come back.

 

“Soul Soothing Sanctuary”

I want to LIVE at Pranamar!! This place is truly amazing and special. During the decision-making process of choosing a place to stay, Marianne was so extremely friendly, personable, and eager to help, during my numerous emails full of questions...I thought, if everyone at Pranamar is like Marianne, then this is the place...and I was right! Marianne and every single person who we came into contact with at Pranamar is what makes this place so special. Their warmth, positive energy, and charm are so strong and abundant that the entire place is just enveloped in it. As soon as we arrived, we felt completely happy, mellow, and euphoric. This feeling remained throughout our entire stay. Here's more....!

Restauarant: The menus offered various choices that all sounded too good to miss, and every meal was delicious! The entire restaurant staff made it a pleasure just being there...all very accommodating, genuine, and friendly. What a lovely group!

Room: We LOVED our beach villa! It was so spacious and perfect....housekeeping kept out place extraordinarily clean. The decor was very zen-like and soothing....absolutely wonderful!

Yoga: I had the pleasure of learning from 3 different instructors, while at Pranamar. The first was an amazing guest instructor who offered an exhilarating challenge. All other classes were taught by Andy or Nancy--both regulars at Pranamar--and both extremely inspirational and outstanding instructors! I never had the same experience twice...I felt challenged, yet totally comfortable and peaceful, in every class. This is the best yoga that I've ever experienced! I left feeling motivated to expand my practice and was fortunate to have been a part of their classes.

Surfing: My first time on a board and could not have had a better instructor or a better time!! LOVED surfing! Ismael was motivating, patient, and FUN! The ocean at Pranamar is like a luxury bath --warm water, sandy bottom--no rocks or seaweed in the surfing area---just perfect.

I simply cannot end this review without adding that everyone at the front desk was so helpful and always smiling and friendly :-) They were such a pleasure to talk to! Also, after such an abundance of surfing and yoga, the much needed massage that I received from Stefano was THE BEST! Susan, one of the owners, was a joy and a pleasure to chat with. Through getting to know her, it became easy to see why Pranamar is so special. It is the love, the people, and the positive energy that she has focused on..and it has worked! I will look forward to returning to Pranamar to stay in paradise once more --but to also see my new friends again!

 

“My home away from home”

I just spent two months at Pranamar... my other family.There are no words I can use to express the amount of support, love and every detail I had cared for. The staff, or family, like they like to call themselves are so caring, so happy and so glad to be at work that it is easy for them to see what we need as their guests. Everyday I thank God that I am so lucky to be looking at the ocean... I might never get this opportunity again... this is why I bring my family every year
. I stayed at the Oceanfront Bungalow, what I like to call my home now, and it is just perfect.
I am have very fuzzy, high -tuned body and the food is nourishing, fresh, nutritious and gourmet. Very rare to find...! I find my body, mind and soul in balance, whole and happy. I highly recommend this place to everybody!!!!
The yoga shala sits on the ocean, it is open, gorgeous... simply the most wonderful shala I have practiced before. Nancy Goodfellow, her level of communication and her experience as a teacher makes the classes deep, strong and profound.

 

“This is where we take people when they visit us in CR”

I guess when you love something, you want to keep it to yourself and share it with the rest of the world simultaneously. That’s how I feel about Pranamar.

Having lived in Costa Rica and traveled the Pacific coast extensively, my wife and I quickly realized what a unique and special thing the team at Pranamar created.
We also realized what a great value it is and that others are quickly noticing that the combination of luxurious accommodation, pristine setting, endless attention to service and details, and world-class surf, is so rare.

When friends come to visit us in Tamarindo, we often take them somewhere to see and feel what a paradise Costa Rica can be. Pranamar is now THAT place for us. After only hours at Pranamar, we booked villa for the spring and tried to book a beachfront villa for Christmas week. Unfortunately, a couple that was there that day (in late January) beat us to it.

The poolside villas are simply and exquisitely designed, and expertly arranged around the pool, which curves through the complex, around a beautiful mango tree. The setting is peaceful and casual. We shared a poolside villa with another couple and were really pleased with the indoor/outdoor living, combined with the ability to relax privately or get a massage on the balcony. I don’t think I wore shoes for 3 days.

Everyone working at Pranamar was really friendly and, like all the guests, seemed to be really comfortable and happy there. They are fit, laid back and smiling, and I always got the sense that they’d just finished practicing yoga and/or had a facial. Of course the food and small touches were perfect. The food is always fresh and amazing! Serious foodies should not stay anywhere else. The menu changes regularly if not daily, and the breakfast (including the best French toast I’ve ever tasted) will definitely put a smile on your face when you are finished surfing, walking on the gorgeous beach, or meditating etc.

As a surfer, I haven’t found a better spot in Costa Rica. The waves are consistent. The water is warm, and there is plenty of room. A really nice and fast/hollow waves is a short walk north to a stunning little bay (Hemosa) and beach breaks. A long walk or short drive south to Santa Teresa will take you to even more breaks, with varied entries, open faces and long rides.

If I could live at Pranamar, I would. And I guess that’s a good way to sum it up. Because the vibe is so relaxed and the professionals provide such a warm feel of community, it is a place where (for better or worse) people will want to stay, and return repeatedly.

The beachfront villas are the best surfside accommodations I’ve seen in the country, and the ocean view yoga studio is like nothing I’ve ever seen.

I'm excited for anyone who gets a chance to stay there - as long as there’s room for my wife and me…

 

 

“Comfortable Relaxed Oceanfront Luxury”

My wife and I travel a couple times a year, typically to some place warm and by the ocean. We had visited Costa Rica about six years ago, really liked the country and the people and decided to return. As I compare Pranamar to all the places we have traveled to and stayed over the last 10 years, I have to say that there was only one place we have stayed that was nicer and it cost almost twice as much a night as our oceanfront villa at Pranamar.

We stayed in one of two story beachfront villas. It was spacious, elegant in design and rich feeling with all the natural wood trim and flooring. The decks were very comfortable and provided a great place to watch the sunset. The constant sound of surf just 50 yards away provided great background noise for sleeping.

Pranamar is not a large resort so it feels very intimate and private because there are not hundreds of guests running around but it has a nice pool, great location just outside of town away from teh hustle, bustle & dust, and has the best restaruant in the area. We ate in town at different places two nights and neither compared to the quality of experience and food of Pranamar.

Being an small resort with a limited number of employees you get to know everyone during your stay and they get to know you. They truly work as a family and make you feel like a member of their family after a very short time. The service is great and everyone to a person goes out of their way to help you any way they can.

Our stay was not without a hiccup or two. We arrived without our luggage and were greeted by an number of ants crawling in our villa when we first checked in. The staff not only took care of the ants pronto (in fairness these are open air villas built in the tropics and some bugs have to be expected) but, they also took our luggage tags, called the airline on our behalf and monitored our lost luggage situation until it was resolved. Pranamar is very recently opened so some of the things mentioned in other reviews are true....the walks are in the process of being permanently completed (they were working on them while we were there), they did not present any problems. They had just completed the bridges before we arrived and the landscaping pants are not mature yet, but should be nicely grown out after one rainy season.

One thing I feel needs mentioned is that neither my wife or I practice yoga or surf and we felt completely at home and really enjoyed our stay. I was somewhat concerned about this when I made the reservation but it was not an issue and we never felt out of place.

I like to fish and was unable to find much iunformation about chartering a boat prior to arriving. However with the help of the staff I was put in touch with a great captain and boat and enjoyed an excellent day of fishing.

We often look at each other at towards the end of a trip and ask each other if we would come back to the same place again. Seldom do we both answer yes.....we enjoy seeing new places and experiencing new things. At the end of our stay at Pranamar when we asked each other if we would come back, we both quickly said yes!

Many thanks to the entire staff of Pranamar for a memerable and relaxing stay!

 

“A GEM! AMAZING FOOD! THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR HONEYMOON!”

I have never been treated with such genuine warmth, respect, and courtesy in all of my travels by the staff at Pranamar -- including a hug and kiss by the owner! The food was gourmet, oustanding, and healthy. Complimentary breakfast (fit for a king!) daily. Of the 11 days we spent in Costa Rica on our Honeymoon, staying at Pranamar for 4 nights was our best decision and fondest memory (and we stayed at other nice places, including Tabacon Resort). Great food, beautiful beaches, remote setting.

 

“like a growing plant - it will flourish”

Pramamar was our last stop in Costa Rica, we chose it to be a luxurious ending to an adventure filled trip with incredible highs. We were sweetly upgraded to a beach front villa which is a truly extravagant space. it was finished beautifully using stunning wood and every attention has been paid to the interior detail. The hotel as a whole experience is lovely and I WOULD recommend it. I do want to point out somethings which I hope come across as constructive criticism and that perhaps should be looked at.

The staff who we spoke to are are sweet and really helpful, we understood the team there work as a 'family'. One thing though, which was evident, was at meal times some of the waitresses (in particular) tuck into their breakfast, lunch or dinner and the same time as the guests, chatted away with their backs turned. I'm not sure now normal this is, at least where we are from it's not. But there is a laid back attitude in CR which does grow on you - perhaps this is an example of it.

The breakfasts you get within your rate are definitely very good but perhaps a smoothy or juice should be included rather than having to pay extra for it. This is one of those little money making extras that's quite irritating when paying quite such a high rate and considering fruit is one of Costa Rica's biggest exports, its not really right to charge for it, we thought anyway.

The hotel is on a lovely spot of beach completely out of the dusty reaches of Santa Teresa with great surfing for all levels as well as perfect tidal pools for swimming. I would say though at the time we visited it was a shame the garden of the hotel wasn't greener and the young plants haven't filled out, I know this is to do with the dry season and once the rain comes things will look a lot different. It was just a shame there wasn't more wildlife due to the lack of large plants, isn't there is a way of using recycled water to feed the plants?

My biggest gripe, which may seem trivial, was the outdoor pathways which really don't look finished, and every so often you might see a little pile of left over building materials hidden under a small plant, or maybe some left over slabs of paving tucked behind something. Also there is a distinct lack of bridges over the little rivers, so you need to jump over or walk through them, this was a bit odd but could be very easily solved.

Overall though I genuinely believe these points are the result of the hotel only being opened just six months, teething problem, things are being worked on, maybe you do need more help in the gardens, so the outside looks as good as the inside.
I do want to mention the owners are seriously experts in the luxury hotel trade and Pranamar clearly means everything to them. They are constantly on site and are very hands on. I do wish them all the best. As soon as the rainy season comes this hotel will blossom.

 

“Gorgeous setting, friendly staff, and great food made for a unique experience.”

Pranamar Villas is a beautiful new resort, but run by an experienced team. The friendly staff was happy to help arrange activities from surf lessons to horseback riding. Daily yoga classes with in-house yoga teacher Nancy in Pranamar's open-air yoga studio were a major highlight, as were the delicious smoothies and cocktails made with fresh local fruit.

This area of the Nicoya Peninsula features gorgeous, uncrowded beaches with no buildings higher than 2 stories for miles around. In most places, the jungle runs right up to the edge of the beach. An amazing getaway, well worth the short flight from San Jose.

Only 4 stars for cleanliness because sometimes a few bugs made it into our room. Only 4 stars for service because while everyone was very helpful, sometimes food and drinks in the bar/restaurant were a long time coming - but worth the wait!

 

“Ditto”

I am currently honeymooning at PRANAMAR-could not wait to write a review-I have traveled all over the world-and have stayed at some wonderful resorts-never have I experienced this type of service, our villa is perfect, and the food is incredible. . If you are planning a trip to CR-this is a MUST stop.

 

“Peaceful Paradise”

I went alone with my son and this was our first trip out of the country alone...so my nerves were at me. When we got to Pranamar I instantly felt at ease. The staff are so welcoming and kind and the owners are wonderful. My favorite part was around 530 sunset time when the bright orange light would start to creep into this tranquil community and it's almost your duty to follow it...it's almost like it's calling you. On your way to the beach you hear the sound of Om. As the the sun is going down so are the yogis in the yoga shala taught by Nancy the owners daughter. It is a family owned business which is what I love and they also have children which made me feel better when my son was acting up...I knew that they got it. Anyway...amazing place, great food, beautiful villas and great energy and all the yoga you can get.

 

“A tremendous honeymoon”

My new husband and I just returned from our honeymoon, which was spent partly at Pranamar. I'm going to sound like a broken record after reading the other reviews, but we had a marvelous time and loved this resort. We can't agree more that the people contribute, in large part, to the experience. There is not an unfriendly person in the place and the warmth is genuine. We owe special thanks to Marianne, Mario, Joselyn, Sebastian, Eva, Melissa, and Susan. In addition, Nancy is a wonderful yoga instructor, and Andy was able to make my husband feel like maybe he can learn yoga after all (no small feat). I've never written a review on trip advisor, but felt I had to this time. The yoga studio is fabulous, the food is divine, the recommendations on other restaurants are spot on, and so on and so on.

 

“All we wanted and much much more!”

I went to Pranamar Villas for a weekend getaway with a couple of friends and it turned out to be a one of a kind weekend!
The beach and natural environment surrounding the villas are breath taking, not to mention the surfing...but what really made the difference was the incredible energy that you feel staying at Pranamar. The staff (or family as they call themselves) is lovely, I am a real pain when it comes to food (no animals, all raw, specific food combinig) and I have to say I ate like a princess!!!!
Yoga shala = AMAZING as well as the instructor, we had private classes in which we all could practice and deepen our knowledge.
ALL IN ALL LOVED IT, DEFINETELY A WORLD FAVORITE!

 

“The best vacation I've ever had!”

The Pranamar Villas are a dream! The accommodations are luxurious and exotic, while comfortable, clean, and stocked with every modern amenity you'd need (including free wifi!). Located just a few feet away from the beach, the location is beautiful and exactly what you'd imagine paradise would be. The best part about the resort, however, is the totally unparalleled staff. Office managers Marianne, Sebastian, and Mario are fantastic - helpful, friendly and they instantly made us feel at home. They were quick to suggest and plan several fun adventures for us, including ziplining and horseback riding. The restaurant staff - Chef Devin and bartenders and waiters Alvara, Venezio, and Kenneth - were the absolute best. And the food is AMAZING. Be sure to take yoga classes with Nancy - the best yoga teacher I've ever had. One might suspect that this is all hyperbole, but everything about Pranamar far exceeded expectations and is truly the most wonderful place I've ever been. My friend and I fully intend to make a Pranamar visit an annual tradition. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone there for making our vacation so incredibly special!

 

 

“Coolest most welcoming place I have ever stayed away from home”

From the second we pulled into the drive we were welcomed like family. The accommodations, staff and location to the beach were top notch. Chef Davin and the rest of the kitchen staff created the best meals that we experienced while in country. The wait staff and bar tenders were great. We felt like we had personalized service the entire stay.
I cannot say enough about this place. I would recommend Pranamar to all of my friends and family and I plan on going back.

 

 

“Beautiful, Wonderful and Relaxing!”

We attended a wedding and stayed at Pranamar this year! I don't really know where to start, but the wedding was beautiful and perfectly executed with surprise entertainment and delicious food and gorgeous views, in addition the rooms/villas surround a flowing pool that is perfect for relaxing and you are just steps from the beach. I only was able to attend 1-yoga class, but it was a challenging and good one and I felt like a new person after it! If you are looking for Yoga, Relaxation, Great food, Romance and Hospitality go here....

 

 

“Best place to center yourself and fall in love with your partner all over again”

We began our Costa Rica excursion at this hotel in Santa Teresa. When we entered the hotel room we were both speechless. The entire room is open air with sliding glass doors facing the beach. The master bathroom was all open air as well with a romantic outdoor shower. The beach is three steps outside your villa with great waves and amazing sea shells waiting to be collected.

We ate every meal at the hotel restaurant and the food was amazing! Fresh, healthy and filling with amazing service. Spending the day swimming in the pool, re-centering ourselves with amazing yoga taught by Nancy (co-owner of the hotel), watching the sunset from our balcony and having a romantic dinner at the restaurant allowed us to find simplistic romance... It was like falling in love all over again. You will not find anything like this outside of Pranamar. We spent four nights at this hotel and wished we had stayed longer! Thank you Susan and staff!

 

“A true little luxury village by the river”

What an incredible stylish feel good luxury hideaway . Amazing food , great casual service and spectacular rooms . I can't wait to visit again .

 

“Fabulous Retreat”

We love this spot and will go again and again. It's the spot where from Day 1, the staff and owners know each guest and treat you like you are family. In my opinion - it's the only place to stay in the Santa Teresa area and is worth it for those who are maybe considering travel to this area. We traveled with a large group during the opening days, and despite some of the last-minute construction, thoroughly enjoyed every minute - in fact it made it more special to be there from the very beginning.

We can't wait to go back to stay in the picture-perfect villas, swim in the pool right off our deck, eat some of Davin's (the chef) great food, get ready to face each day with Nancy and her incredible yoga sessions, get another massage by Stephano, and take on some of Santa Teresa's world famous surf!

 

“Small enough to be intimate and big enough for great service and food. Beautiful architecture with restful elements .”

The staff helped us with day excursions to see the local flora and fauna. They made great recommendations for shopping and were accomodating for our dietary preferences at the restarant. We can't wait to go back this winter.
