Great stay!
We had a room with 6 bunk beds, one bunk bed is 12$/night with breakfast included. Breakfast was a plate of fruit and a toast - only one tho, which wasnt much but it was very tasty. Only drawback might be that the water in the shower is not warm, but it was still ok. Very recommended!
Loved this place
Stayed here for a week as a surfari base camp. Stayed in the dorm area with six beds and it room met my expectations for the price. Matress was a little worn but I had no problem sleeping. What was great was the common area, plenty of private bathrooms and two good kitchens with a fridge. Super international mix of guests from US, Germany, Canada, Argentina, Israel, etc. Guests were mid 20s through 40s and pretty chill. Yoga was legit. Wifi worked great. Heard howler monkies all around and saw iguanas and armadillos. Most guests liked it so much they were extending. But be warned, it is hot all of the time and clothes are hard to dry.
Chill and warm vibes at 1 minute from the beach
I have stay several times at Casa Zen, traveling solo, with family and friends and always has been great in several things. 1. Clean 2. Friendly and familiar: it is run by a Costa Rican guy for several years now! 3. Convenient: good prices, 2 kitchens and several restrooms. Private room are simple but wide and dorms are simple but usually people are quite and organized. Definitely a place im repeating later on
Not a Zen stay
It startles me how people working in the service industry can be so unfriendly. (Especially as someone in a similar profession) The female receptionist was rude, unhelpfull and anoyed by contact with customers, staight out ignored me to finish coversations with friends. The male receptionist just answered all of my questions, about yoga and transportation, wrong. Also the kitchen and bathroom cleaning had clearly been very neglected. And Casa Zen is not a cheap place. The yoga class I took was ok, but overcrowded and I have never done yoga on a smellier mat. Santa Theresa beach is beautiful but I recommend exploring it from another place until changes in staff and attitude are made.
Yoga classes
I am spending the month in Santa Teresa and have been going to Casa Zen almost everyday for yoga. My favorite teacher is Jenn because she is a wonderful teacher and also so positive and supportive. The others are very good too, but Jenn is the best. Just be aware that this is an outdoor class so it does become very hot!
