Blue Surf Sanctuary
A genuine budget stay close to Santa Teresa's surf
About this stay
Blue Surf Sanctuary keeps its 2-star rating honest: simple rooms, an outdoor pool as the main amenity on site, and a four-minute taxi to Santa Teresa Beach that puts the surf within easy reach without a beachfront price tag attached anywhere on the bill. Cafe Social sits a one-minute walk away for coffee and food most mornings, and full-service laundry suits longer surf trips generating a steady pile of wet gear that needs regular washing. Accessible rooms broaden who the property works for beyond a typical young surfer crowd. It is a straightforward stay rather than a styled one, and that plainness is consistent with almost everything else on this stretch of coast.

Our take
I recommend Blue Surf Sanctuary to surfers on a tight budget who want an outdoor pool, free WiFi and parking, and a laundry service for longer trips, four minutes by taxi from Santa Teresa Beach. Accessible and smoke-free rooms are available. It is a 2-star address, so if you want a restaurant or room service on site I would look elsewhere.
- ✓Use the four-minute taxi to Santa Teresa Beach for the early surf check before the morning crowds arrive
- ✓Walk to Cafe Social for breakfast, one minute away and reliably good coffee every single morning of the stay
- ✓Run the laundry every few days on a surf trip, wetsuits and rash guards pile up faster than expected here

Why guests love itI recommend Blue Surf Sanctuary to families and surfers on a budget planning a longer stay near Santa Teresa. The two-star hotel has an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi and parking, and full-service laundry, which matters after weeks of salty clothes. Accessible and smoke-free rooms are available. Santa Teresa Beach is about four minutes away by taxi, so walking to the waves is not an option. A 9.0 rating from 35 guests is solid.
