Hotel Tropico Latino

Hotel Tropico Latino, on the beach at Santa Teresa

Tropico Latino sits right on Santa Teresa beach, on the Pacific side of the Nicoya Peninsula, in tropical gardens under old forest trees with a path straight onto the sand. It is a relaxed beachfront hotel with a pool, a spa and a restaurant facing the ocean.

It suits couples, families and groups of friends, and it is a lovely spot for a beach wedding or a family reunion.

Why we choose it

• Direct beach access. Every room type is on the beachfront side, and the gardens open straight onto the sand.
• Space for groups. The Beachfront Suite sleeps 4 to 6, with a king bedroom, a queen bedroom and two sofa beds.
• Wellness on the beach. The spa and integrative wellness programme, plus regular retreats, make it a good choice for a slower beach stay.

Rooms and views

There is a wide mix of rooms. Beachfront Superior rooms and Beachfront Bungalows are steps from the sand, built from local materials, with a hammock on the terrace. The Beachfront 1 Bedroom adds space, and the Beachfront Suite looks out over the beach and the Pacific, with room for a family.

For something different there is Beachfront Glamping and a Glamping Junior Suite. Some rooms have a private jacuzzi, and all have a safe.

On the property

Shambala Restaurant and Bar is where the day starts and ends, with the ocean in view. The pool sits in the gardens by the beach, and the spa offers treatments and wellness programmes, with retreats held through the year. There is room service and parking on site.

Children are welcome. Around town there is surfing, zip lining, ATV tours, sportfishing and snorkelling, and we can arrange any of them.
