Manala Hotel: A Boutique Beach Experience

Intimate, comfortable, and steps from the beach

Welcome to Manala Hotel!

Guests who come to Manala Hotel in Santa Teresa end up raving about this place. Each bungalow in these boutique accommodations is private and spacious, surrounded by beautiful gardens with a pool and just steps away from the ocean. And there’s so much to do nearby, including ATV tours, waterfall exploring, trips to the national park, or horseback riding. 

Beautiful Bungalows

Surrounded by tropical gardens, Manala features eight private bungalows, designed with a blend of Caribbean and Mediterranean influences. These bungalows come with air conditioning, satellite TV, wifi, a mini fridge, and safe. Each bungalow has roomy bathrooms and private terraces overlooking the gardens, providing a relaxing space. 

Boutique and Intimate

Because of the small size of this hotel, you can expect personalized service. There’s a 12-hour service desk and 24-hour assistance in case of emergency. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay great.

Also, with only eight bungalows, you’re not sharing the common spaces with many other guests. Instead, there’s room for everyone to sunbathe, swim in the pool, and enjoy the gardens.

Great Location

Manala is located across from the white sands Playa Santa Teresa, positioned near a popular surfing point break. It offers a peaceful retreat slightly off the main road, combining easy access to local restaurants and shops with a quiet, atmosphere away from the busier tourist areas of Santa Teresa. The best of both worlds!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
