Casa MarBella, Santa Teresa

Standard
Boutique hotel atop a hillside overlooking Santa Teresa with stunning ocean views from both the pool and guest rooms.

Overview

Casa MarBella is a hillside retreat in Santa Teresa for rest and tranquility - even the pool area has been dubbed the "tranquil zone." This intimate hotel offers eight private rooms to accommodate up to 30 people. Room options include condos, standard rooms, and suites. While there are two nearby restaurants, guests in the condos can also opt to hire a private chef. The hotel strikes a nice balance of providing the secluded feeling of private villas with the services and comforts of staying in a hotel room.

Authenticity

Casa MarBella is located on a tranquil hillside setting in Santa Teresa. It features striking ocean views from the pool and eight guest rooms. The décor of the rooms takes a minimalist approach, but with a tropical touch.  

Location

The hotel overlooks Santa Teresa and it's a short walk to downtown and the beach. It is also close to two restaurants. However, since the hotel is on a hillside, travelers should expect to walk up and down the hill, or rent a car, to reach these destinations.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Casa MarBella offers eight rooms that can accommodate 30 people in total. These include two condos with three rooms, a kitchen, and a living area that can fit six people. It also has two standard rooms with a queen and twin bed, and two other standard rooms with a king bed and a kitchenette. Additionally, the hotel has two suites with two rooms, a queen bed, a living area, and a kitchenette.

Other Highlights

Casa MarBella has a yoga deck with mats provided and an option to hire an instructor. Towels for the pool and beach are also provided, and a book exchange for guests to utilize when they finish the book they brought from home.
