There is a private entrance at the aparthotel for the convenience of those who stay. Guests can book themselves in for fitness classes or yoga classes.

Incredible stay at Les Roches! The view is breathtaking, there is extreme tranquility. The hosts Marie and Martin were super welcoming and helped us book activities throughout our stay. The housekeeper and steward were responsive when you needed something. And above all, a big positive point for the wifi!! It works very well, I was able to work from the villa. Access to the sea is 5 minutes maximum, and the center too. The accommodation is very well located. I highly recommend this place where I had my best vacation.

I have to start by saying that Jessi was the most AMAZING host from start to finish. She answered all of my questions, sent me links, helpful information, and was a total delight. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate her and all that she did for me! She will communicate with you thru WhatsApp and even reached out ahead of time to help me plan, booking cars, tours, or anything I needed… she’s a queen!! She is so fast to respond to anything and everything and was a total delight. About the room and place-I want to give some honest feedback for anyone who hasn’t been here: -Self-check-in with keypad lock on door and secure property with keypad gated entrance. Great A/C, hot shower, and good WiFi. Coffee maker in room, fresh and plentiful towels, and privacy curtains. VERY clean and the property is well maintained! And everyone who worked at the property was very kind. -Take advantage of their shampoo and conditioner and lotion and skip packing it. Also, there is an outdoor shower and bathroom, which is great. -There is a small outdoor kitchen with a full-sized fridge with freezer if you want to buy ice or store larger bottles that don’t fit in the mini fridge in the room. -Ground floor benefits- close to the pool. I had amazing neighbors who weren’t loud but it’s not a very soundproof place so if you have loud upstairs neighbors or loud people by the pool, you’ll likely hear them. -The bed was a very firm mattress. Not my cup of tea but not the worst or most uncomfortable. Food and getting around: -It is def 4-wheel drive location- that means walking too. If you aren’t prepared for some uneven terrain and a bit of a steep incline, this is not the spot for you. -That being said- there is a ton nearby that you can walk to. The beach, restaurants, and the best part, a market. With food, drinks, toiletries, and some other helpful things (water bottles, flip flops, plates, etc. bring your own bag or a backpack!)

    The apartment is very nice, with all the needed amenities and very aesthetically pleasing. The property is close to the beach, and feels very safe as there is 24/7 security. Also, our pet was very welcomed and had an awesome time.

    Great little apartment with good attention to detail. A lot of small things which help make a difference like hangers, shelves, a cup for your toothbrush etc. Good pool, cute outside area and balcony, comfortable bed, and a really nice kitchen. Also, the owner was very helpful in sending us public transport schedules and instructions on how to find the place without a car. We loved it and extended one more night (would've extended more if it was available). Would definitely recommend.

    We loved our staying at Little Escape and we couldn’t recommend it enough. Mike has done a great job with lofts, the design is really beautiful and modern. The open space is perfect for having dinner and relaxing watching TV. Loved the upstairs too, from the balcony you have the jungle vibe. The pool is also a nice feature, for those lazy days. Mike is super friendly, he will help you in any way he can and he know well the area either for surf spots, cafes or restaurants.

    We stayed at Calma Apartments for two nights and had a very good stay there! The host was really nice and shared a lot of valuable information about Santa Teresa with us. Our room was very comfortable with a small kitchen, a fridge and a balcony. Also, we had cooled filtered water prepared in our fridge and appreciated it a lot.

    PERFECT stay! Owners were highly welcoming and friendly, gave us all the information we needed for Santa Teresa (restaurant recommendations and where to catch the best surf). Apartment was luxurious, with a wonderful shared swimming pool to cool off in after the beach. Highlight was using the BBQ facilities and monkeys swinging past in the trees above our heads!

    andrea and her husband were the perfect hosts. the apartment was clean and had everything we needed to make it feel like our second home. it was nice to have a functional kitchen and the private balcony overlooking the tiny pool provided a quiet place to start our day, and act as a refuge from the bustle of santa teresa.
