Clean, modern, airy and light design with amazing views. Fabulous place to relax and enjoy the ocean views and breezes. Plunge pool and outdoor shower are amazing.

You cannot do anything without the car. The property is on a very steep hill and walking down or up this hill is not for everyone.

Amazing views, great hospitality, gigantic house, great pool.

No fridge in room. No ice machine. And the biggest issue is the absolute incredible hill you have to tackle to get in and out of there. Need to mention that you need to rent ATV if you’re there for >2days, or rent 4x4 or be incredible athlete. It’s a 40 deg grade I’d guess.

Beautiful modern room. Great deck. Large shower. Very friendly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

Beautiful views. Outstanding quiet breakfasts. Owners very approachable and friendly.

Amazing Ocean View, private pool, outdoor kitchen, good standard The hostes Alexia was great, helped us book all activites and ATV and was very helpful during the entire stay of 2 weeks with making our stay as good as possible We also warmly recommend the surf lessons with Bernal, the best!

The access is tricky, you must have a 4x4 car to make it to the top and go down also, but we knew it in advance and it wasnt a problem

Beautiful place, great and spacious room with a beautiful view to the ocean and the jungle. The breakfast was great, staff very kind and helpful. Location is great, near to everything but also far from the crowd, which is very relaxing. We stayed in 3 more hotels in St Teresa during our stay due the lack of availability at Akwa and this one was far the best! Really Recommend!! great value for money. Alexia the owner is extremely nice and helped us all the time we had any request.

The scary road up to the hotel.

The spectacular view from my room. The kindness and availability of Alexia. The breakfast in the morning.

They don’t have blackout curtains… the curtains are very thin, making it dificult to sleep in the morning.

The bed is very comfortable, the shower is perfect! The room itself is very good! Size and everything! And the view is perfect! Breakfast is very nice!

It’s up a very steep hill, not a long hill, but you won’t get up it unless on foot or in a 4x4. But this is why the views are so spectacular.

The views are incredible, and Alan and Alexia were so accommodating. The included breakfast was great with the service staff being so polite and attentive.

After raining, a 4x4 vehicle is needed to get to hotel (slippery hill). Delon room was a bit noise (you can hear steps of a room above) No TV or other accessories in room (hair dryer) Besides the Bar and the Pool, there is no other places/activities within the hotel.

Great location and views.

The property is located at the top of a steep hill. This isn’t bad, per se, but rather something you should be prepared for. We had a car, but we also scaled the hill several times coming to/from the beach. It is a paved road from the resort to the road.

We booked the Nicholson Villa for our family of five and absolutely loved our stay. We had our own private plunge pool, which was a great way to cool down. Breakfast was included in our stay, and it was incredible — fresh fruit, fresh fruit smoothies, yogurt, eggs, bacon, toast, tomatoes, avocados, arroz con frijoles, coffee, etc. Eduardo and Alexia (father and daughter team, who manage the property)are very accessible, friendly, and helpful. We really loved the location. It’s a little outside of downtown Santa Teresa, but walkable to town. There is a beautiful beach across the street from the resort. It was a vacation we will remember forever. We didn’t want to leave and are actively planning our return.

The McQueen villa is just amazing! If you ever stop at Akwa resort, make sure to book a surf lesson with Bernal. He taught all 4 of us to actually stand on the board in the waves in less than 1 hour! Don’t miss it!

Lost power 2 nights no flashlight or kit and it was dark. Construction was going on but they did discount the stay.

Location nice property

the hill to get to the hotel is crazy difficult. It’s a shame there aren’t some steps to walk up

Lovely hotel - quiet spot, amazing breakfast and so relaxing to wake up with views of the ocean

the “private “pool is right by the road, they could easily install a few plants to have more privacy. toilets not inside bedroom very strange layout, also could easily be improved.

Amazing view and Location. Nice and clean.

Stayed in April 2023

the steep entrance!

We loved the view and the fact it was quiet. We stayed in the Kate room that had a nice patio surrounded by a lush garden. Eduardo was very helpful with our luggage for both our arrival and departure. The shuttle bus would leave/pick us up from the main road only, so it is a bit of a hike to Akwa, let alone with suitcases!!! Thanks Eduardo!
