Congratulations, you have found your accommodation in Santa Teresa. This comes with a warning though; when you stay here, you are in great risk of never wanting to leave. And when you do leave, you will hate leaving. I have spent three weeks here, this place feels like home. The owner, Emilio, is a fantastic dude. The staff and friends of the hostel are so warm and welcoming, I had the best time hanging out with them. The rooms are perfect, but the atmosphere will make your stay amazing!

Overall not somewhere I would return to in a hurry both to the place and the hostel. Santa Teresa is clearly engineered to a very specific type of tourist and all the activities and prices there reflect that. The hostel in itself is ok (the rooms are clean and functional and the staff are friendly) but gets a zero on the social front- potentially I was just out of season but there is no bar, no activities put together and virtually zero other people there to socialise or do things with.
