Loved by guests
"The property had big rooms, adequate kitchen, and great location (beach access across the street and a 2 minute walk down to the water)."
"You are up on a hill so the noise of the street can't be heard from the room and perfice for a post surf nap."
"The hotel gets you out of the crazy mess of the construction by creating a quiet oasis."

“Esencia Hotel And Villas sits in a prime spot of Playa Santa Teresa, a short walk from the surf, though not directly on the beach. I found its independent villas with Mediterranean touches a refreshing contrast to typical beachside lodging. The proximity to both surf spots and the Cabo Blanco Natural Reserve makes it a solid pick for active travelers.”
