What it's like
Fuego Lodge is a family-owned hotel set back on a quiet lane in the heart of Santa Teresa. It's built around gardens and a swimming pool, with a covered gallery, a deck and a few spots to lie around in the shade. The main appeal is the location: you're close enough to walk to the beach, surf shops, supermarkets and restaurants, but far enough off the main road that it's calm at night. If you're comparing it with other places in town, this list of Santa Teresa hotels for surfers is a useful cross-check.
The "yoga resort" part of the name comes from its rancho-style jungle deck, where the hotel says it holds yoga and Pilates classes and regular meditation sessions, with private lessons on request. The wellness page on the official site was still under construction when we checked, so ask for the current class schedule before you go.
Rooms
There's a wide spread of unit types, which makes it flexible for different budgets and group sizes:
- Standard King Rooms
- Premium Double Rooms
- Pool Front Suites
- One-Bedroom Apartments
- A Penthouse Suite
- A Garden Suite
- Casa Fuego, a multi-bedroom unit with its own living area
Some units have full kitchens. Every rental includes air conditioning, wifi, a smart TV, daily housekeeping and fresh linens, and there's a large private parking area.
Who it suits (and who it doesn't)
Fuego Lodge works for couples, friends and families who want to walk everywhere and come back to a pool. The apartments and Casa Fuego are handy for longer stays when you'd like to cook.
The hotel welcomes children 10 and older, so families with younger kids should look elsewhere or contact the hotel first. There's no on-site restaurant mentioned, so plan on eating in town or using a kitchen unit. If you want a dedicated yoga retreat with a full daily program, confirm what's running during your dates.
Getting there
The lodge is in central Santa Teresa, on a side lane off the main beach road, about 5 minutes on foot from the sand. The hotel shares exact directions when you book. Most visitors arrive by shuttle or rental car via the Paquera ferry, or fly into the Cóbano airstrip and take a short transfer. See our travel guide.
