We serve breakfast each morning at our bar, where you can also find travel guidebooks, tour information, and friendly advice from your Casa Zen front desk assistant.!

Take your pick from more than a half dozen hammocks, relax and enjoy the garden views. There’s no better way to perfect the art of doing nothing.

The downstairs rancho is a favorite meeting place for Casa Zen guests. Lined with colorful pillows and featuring a beautiful tiled floor design, it’s a great spot to share a dinner, play a board game, make plans for the evening, or enjoy the access to our free wifi.

Everyone goes on vacation to unwind, and here at Casa Zen we work to ensure that your vacation is as relaxing as possible. We offer Yoga classes on our open air balcony to keep you flexible, centered, and relaxed during your time with us. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, you will find this form of “active meditation” a nice way to put your mind at ease. There is no better way to relax and pamper yourself at the same time. Slow down. Relax. Enjoy.

Our signature chef’s kitchen is a sight to behold: with a professional quality stove, giant stainless steel refrigerator, microwaves, blenders, high-quality cooking utensils, pans, woks -this dream kitchen really sets Casa Zen apart from other guest houses. Pick up some groceries at the supermarket across the street. We also have a smaller, communal kitchen open 24 hours for late night munchies. We always keep our kitchens sparkling clean for guests to enjoy.

We have a variety of beginner and intermediate surfboards available for rent for $8 per day. For advice on where to find the waves or how to book a surf lesson, just ask at reception.

One of the best ways to explore Santa Teresa and Mal Pais is to rent one of our comfy beach cruiser bicycles for $8 per day. Both visitors and locals frequently travel up and down our main dirt road on bicycles. Take a trip down to the Mal Pais fishmarket, visit new beaches or check out a restaurant off the beaten path… you’ll be going in style!

We offer lessons for complete beginners who are trying to surf for the first time or more experienced surfers looking to improve their skills. We have our own instructors with ISA certification and  lifeguard skills to maximize your safety and enjoyment, these are local instructors who know the area with years of experience. We offer two hour surf lessons with transportation to the best places to surf in the area.
