My wife and I stayed a single night at Namastay. $35 for 2 people with breakfast is (especially in the current state of santa teresa) a great deal. There was a time Santa Teresa was full of great deals but this is sadly one of a few now. Tracy was very nice and accomodating. I get up super early to... More

Darkstar - wow! I am truly flattered that you posted a review after just one night - thanks a lot! I checked my website and it does list only a fan, but you're right - I thought I had shared bath on there, so I'll add that (it is important!) - so thanks for pointing that out. I do totally... More

I spent 3 nights in NamaStay at the beginning of a longer stay in Santa Teresa. Tracey rents one room in her little house and serves breakfast in the morning. I had the choice - fruits, joghurt, toast, eggs, coffee... The house is clean, towels were available, I did not miss anything. The bed was nice and comfy. Tracy is... More

My favorite troll - danke! I'm so glad you stayed with me - how wonderful it's been becoming friends and hanging out during this leg of your around-the-world journey! :) I'll miss you and our chats - but look forward to seeing what adventures you get into next, and keeping in touch when you get back home. xoxox More

Tracey made my stay in Santa Teresa memorable. She prepared excellent breakfast everyday. Travelling solo made my stay in Namastay Surf House comfortable. The location is walking distance to the beach and supermarket. I went to Santa Teresa to practice to yoga and I was not disappointed. Awesome location! More

Thank you, JM S! Your stay was memorable for me too - conquering your fear and taking your first surf lesson - but most of all, your story about your time in India. I don't think I'll ever forget about that woman. You inspire me to go, too! Big hug ~ T More

We had a busy vacation planned for Santa Teresa so the boyfriend and I wanted to avoid the resorts and find an inexpensive place to rest our weary heads after running around experiencing the area. We picked Namastay so we wouldn’t have to worry about finding our own breakfast and the price could not be beat. We figured we’d literally... More

We decided to spend last the New Year in Santa Teresa so we stayed at Namastay for 3 night last december. The location is highly convenient, we managed to explore most of the area during those 3 days. The room was great with big windows and a great matress for the bed, besides the bathroom was super clean. The breakfast... More

Spending only a few days in Santa Teresa at the NamaStay Surf House was simply not enough! Tracey was a gracious hostess, a great cook, and an excellent yoga instructor. The room and bathroom were clean and bright. The hotel is very close to some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to, and also near some great restaurants... More

Let me say first off that I didn't actually stay at NamaStay, I am a solo traveler and rented a small apartment across the road, but I did go there often for Yoga which is taught by the owner/hostess, Tracey. However, if I were with a small group this would be the ticket. It's like having your own private health/surf... More

NamaStay turned out to be the perfect choice for us. The hostess couldn't have been nicer. From helping us with our ground transportation to get there, to hugging goodbye at the end, it was truly a great vacation. A delicious breakfast on the balcony started our day. I had wonderful daily yoga sessions while my friend enjoyed a morning jog.... More

What a pleasant little Gem. Namastay made my adventure to Costa Rica a wonderful time from the time the owner meet me at the door to the time she dropped me off at the bus station.
