Griss Lodge & Spa
A pool and kitchen base three minutes from Santa Teresa Beach
About this stay
Griss Lodge & Spa combines walkable beach access with the practicality of an in-room kitchen: three minutes to Santa Teresa Beach and one minute to Ani's bowls and salads, with the outdoor pool as the main on-site draw despite the spa branding included in the property's name. Air conditioning and the airport shuttle round out the essentials, with the shuttle covering a 27-minute run to Cobano for guests arriving or leaving on either end of their stay. The overall pace here suits travelers who plan loosely day to day rather than around a fixed list of hotel activities. Nothing about the property is flashy, which fits a coast that has largely stayed outside Costa Rica's bigger resort corridors.
- Walkable beach access
- In-room kitchen
- Airport shuttle

Why guests love itI would choose Griss Lodge & Spa for families who want to walk to the beach in Santa Teresa. Santa Teresa Beach is three minutes away on foot, the outdoor pool covers the hours between swims, and rooms are air-conditioned with kitchen access for easy meals. Ani's bowls and salads is a minute's walk away when nobody wants to cook, and an airport shuttle is offered. It suits a relaxed beach stay more than a full-service hotel holiday.
