Our take
Hotel Fermata sits on the beachfront in Santa Teresa directly in front of La Lora, a surf break for all levels, and it is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Rooms face the sea, the surf school and board rental are on site, and Fermata Kitchen cooks Mediterranean dishes with French technique, made for sharing. Add a spa, a wellness centre and a year-round pool, and you rarely need the car. I would book it for honeymooners and surfing couples who want design and a sunset from the room; with only six guest reviews so far, averaging 9.2, I treat the score as an early signal rather than a verdict.
- ✓Book a first lesson with the on-site surf school at La Lora, the break right in front of the hotel, rather than driving to a school in town.
- ✓Order at Fermata Kitchen as a table: the Mediterranean plates are designed for sharing, so a couple does better with several small dishes than with two mains.
- ✓Be back in your room before dusk: the sea-facing rooms look straight onto Santa Teresa's sunsets over the Pacific.

Why guests love itHotel Fermata has family rooms, a year-round pool, a garden and a 24-hour front desk, but its heart is an intimate, design-led hotel for adults who surf. Families with teenagers will get the most from it: the surf school and board rental face La Lora, a break the hotel describes as suitable for all levels, and the restaurant's sharing plates suit a table of four. With young children the pool and garden help, though the spa, the wellness centre and the quiet mood make clear who the hotel is mainly for. Santa Teresa's restaurants and shops are minutes away, and private parking on site is free. Six guests have rated it so far, with a 9.2 average.
