Trilled because I knew where Villas Solar was located! I was looking for a location at a walking distance from the beach, a surf break. Villas Solar... More

We have used Trip Advisor reviews to make decisions about our trip plans, so felt we really needed to do this review. Greg, the owner, was such a nice guy, but, compared to our other accomodations in Santa Teresa, this place fell short...for us. It was supposed to be situated in gardens of mango, banana, and starfruit. What that meant... More

I like to hear criticisms so that we can work on creating a better experience for future guests. Villa Carambola, the house where the guests stayed, is indeed surrounded by gardens of banana trees, papaya trees, and a starfruit tree all visible in photos on the website. However, in Feb, when our water supply is short in town due to... More

Spacious, clean, extremely convenient to the beach and restaurants, secure, and well-managed. We were there for 5 nights, learning to surf (FUN!!!!). Our impeccably maintained apartment (Villa Almendro) easily accommodated our family of 5. The on-site caretakers were very pleasant (they don't speak English but we spoke enough Spanish to get by). It was a wonderful place to come back... More
