With a lovely "common area" at parking lot level and five private bungalows up a hill, Mint is a clean, modern boutique hotel well suited for adults who want to experience the hustle and bustle of surfing town Santa Teresa with a quiet place to go when the sun goes down. |The rooms are simply furnished with comfortable beds, a small storage area for your clothes, a room safe. The bathrooms are clean. A window in the bathroom opens to give you an outdoor showering experience if desired.|Breakfast is served in the common dining area and consists of fresh local mangoes, papayas, passion fruit, bananas, yogurt, eggs, zucchini biscuits, and as noted in other reviews, their delicious banana bread.|Jonas and Johanna are wonderful hosts, onsite for most of the day, to make sure guests have everything they need.|Each bungalow has a rooftop deck with great views of the town and ocean. They happen to be along a treetop path for howler monkeys, and if you are lucky the monkeys will entertain you in the early morning. Take your binoculars and camera to catch site of some of Costa Rica's many tropical birds.|Be aware that from the parking level it is 60 stairsteps up to the Deluxe Double Room, but again, the view is worth it.|Our family took advantage of the onsite bar (available until 8:00 p.m.) and the pool. We enjoyed our visit to Mint and highly recommend it to travelers to Santa Teresa.
