Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
There apparently are 2 types of rooms here. The kind they call 'houses' which have 3 bedrooms, kitchen, etc. Then there are 'standard rooms' which have a queen bed, fridge and really nothing else. Disappointed that there wasn't a TV or hairdryer. Also seems to be geared to yoga, etc which is popular with the crowd that goes to Santa Teresa. That was not our style and we really didn't enjoy this area of Costa Rica. Too far to travel to and if you didn't surf, then nothing to do other than spend more money to go quading.

The trip is to long from San Jose. I could have driven to Uvita which is just as nice and not so much dust. The dust is horible. If you have breathing problems, don't go to Santa Teresa!

An excellent option while in Santa Teresa

I absolutely loved my time at Otro Lado. From my arrival -- check in was super fast -- all the way through my last day this hotel proved a beautiful oasis in an otherwise loud and dusty city. The hotel is centrally located in Santa Teresa. Keep in mind; however, that most of the action is in Playa Carmen which will require that you travel every day in one direction or the other. The rooms were always spotless -- something that's not easy to achieve in a beach hotel, but the hotel owners pride themselves in keeping up the grounds and having the highest standard for cleanliness. The pool was very nice and the restaurant, which served complimentary breakfast and a limited menu of [not included] lunches was always on par. Vanessa, at reception was incredibly helpful in giving me the lay of the land and providing outstanding recommendations for local eateries and activities. I was traveling solo, but the hotel was mostly occupied by couples. I'd definitely come back

This was our second stay at Otro Lado. We love the roominess and spaces for relaxation in the lodges, the feeling of seclusion in spite of being so close to the main street of Santa Teresa, the pool to chill in, and especially the warm, gracious staff.
