    I felt wi-fi coverage in room is not that good in comparison with terrance but lets be fair - you are there to avoid it ;)

    Amazing small hotel with super friendly and helpful owners and staff. Very delicious breakfast, amazing location and stunning garden inside. Small nice pool ads to cozy and relaxed atmosphere. All rooms are equipped with terraces with hammocks which boost the whole atmosphere!

    I had a great stay and would definitely come back. When I arrived the Wi-Fi in my apartment wasn’t working, the host moved me to a smaller room with better connection. It was still very nice, and to compensate she kindly offered an extra night, which I really appreciated. The breakfast and cleaning staff were also fantastic—warm, helpful and always smiling.

    Check-in was a bit confusing when we arrived, but I got quick responses for questions via WhatsApp . Loved the linen bedding, but sadly there were some small stains from time to time that were not fully washed out.

    The hotel really made our vacation perfect. The room is spacious and had a great view over the city, AC helped with the hot temperature. The bed is very large and comfortable. We loved the breakfast in the morning, esp the fresh fruit and the fluffy pancakes. The hotel only has a few rooms, so it never felt too busy and we met great people at the pool and during our surf lessons. Staff was very friendly and room was cleaned daily.

    Nothing.

    I love that the hotel is close to Santa Teresa beach, but still quiet. Everything is super clean and well kept, and you can also rent boards and get surf lessons. Everyday there is a small, but tasty breakfast. All the people who work at Lucero are so kind and helpful, which made the stay even better. I will definitely come back!

    Garden room not for us

    • Double Room with Garden View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Some people may like this (we didn't) - the garden room has a bathroom outside of your room. While some may enjoy this as the tropical experience, I - being very popular in the mosquito community - had a hard time with that and got a handful of bites just going to the bathroom. So it's something to note if you are considering booking the garden room. I do have to note that the host was very nice and accommodating in finding us another room when we didn't like the arrangement.

    Beautiful property, nice small pool, very good breakfast, the bed was super comfy (with linen sheets), room very clean and quiet. The owner was also very nice and helpful.

    Cant walk to beach,parking was hard to find and you should have 4*4 to drive to access property. Water presssure in master bathroom was very slow. Staircase to master has open windows to nature no screens at all. 60 stairs to reach our house was little tough with 3 kids. However it is such an amazing,unique place all issues seems small🙃

    Wowww this little boutique hotel is very modern and clean.We stayed at the 2 floor house in the top of the hotel with gorgeous huge balcony over looking the ocean.Very comfortable and chic,everything sorrounded by trees and nature.Breakfast cooks per order very fresh and tasty. Jared is amazing,kind and helpful. Pool is small but you feel like swimming inside a waterfall sorrounded by dimmed lights budha statues and green. They have amazing surf instructors. Location is amazing you can walk to restaurants on strip. Place is minimalistic and decor is black stone with wood accents.Super unique and gorgeous. This place was the best in our overall trip.

    We really have no complaints.

    This property is in the heart of santa teresa, up a low travelled but extremely well paved side street probably due to the fact that there is a high end gated community just up the street. Really was kind of perfect- no noise from town, but so close to it that you wouldn't really need a car. Breakfast was simple- fruit, eggs cooked to order, good coffee, and pancakes. For the price, I felt like it was a great value. We also stayed at Somos during our stay in Santa Teresa, we much preferred Lucero due to it being a bit more low key and less than half the price. Would have preferred Lucero even if the prices were the same.

    Great location, in a beautiful stylish boutique hotel with the best staff and service!

    The only negative we come to think of is the lack of some kitchen utilities that could be improved (we missed a kitchen knife, water/wine glasses etc), and also the lack of a coffee table or some sort of indoor table setting. There wasn't really any wardrobe space, which didn't bother us since we kept our things in our bags, but for some people this might be inconvenient.

    We had such a lovely one week stay at Lucero, where we stayed in the secluded jungle apartment. It was super quiet, stylish, clean, great breakfast, nice pool area, perfect location nearby lots of restaurants and grocery store + close to the beach and surf! We got extremely well taken care of by the lovely concierge Gala, who did everything in her power to make sure our stay was excellent. Can truly recommend this place for anyone visiting Santa Teresa!

    No good parking spaces and very low water pressure. Too expensive in my opinion.

    Breakfast and hospitality of Gala were great. Rooms are large, kitchen is great in the top apartment.

    The payment was a little frustrating. I am used to paying through booking.com which just makes it more straightforward.

    Loved the design and felt like my own private villa at times. Beautiful gardens and wildlife. Loved my white hammock and the linen sheets, bed was really comfy. Breakfast was nice. A bit further up the road so not as noisy as some areas in Santa Teresa. Overall enjoyed my stay here a lot....an oasis of calm 🙂

    Thought that it was a bit pricey for what it was. Small pool, rooms a bit humid, more of an Airbnb vibe and no reception. Not great for a solo traveler since the property is quite small and in the low season almost no ppl there. Would recommend staying in one of the hostels and getting a separate room instead for having some social contact.

    Tastefully decorated, quiet, owner responsive, good breakfast, though every day the same

    1- AC leaking and disturbing the sleep of my children for the first two nights. 2- water pressure in bathroom sinks and showers were pathetic at times non existant and hot water was laking. 3- the extra 5th person was never considered in any way as they did not have a towel, nor a bed to sleep in. The towel I went to pick up on our first day here, was used to sop up the leak from the AC and was never replaced. 4- the stained couch pillows and seats.

    The decor was very nice, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful. Nice experience to stay up in the jungle of Santa Teresa. Manager did compensate our family with a free night’s stay considering all the issues we had.
