Where to stay in Santa Teresa

Accommodations in Santa Teresa jostle for space on the beachfront, with a wealth of budget hotels, lodges, and surf clubs providing easy beach access and views over the water. Competition keeps prices low, although it's worth reserving your room well in advance to avoid disappointment. Almost any option you choose will be either on or just off the main coastal road running through town.
