Travel Tips from people who've been to Santa Teresa
If you are going to Santa Teresa/Mal Pais area in Costa Rica, it is advisable to bring some cash and try not to rely too much on cards. This actually applies to a lot of the Nicoya Peninsula. There are ATMs and a few banks, but found out the hard way that ATMs go down often, banks are closed at weird hours, and sometimes the ATMs are not compatible with some US and foreign banks. So it would be wise to take out money before arriving on the Peninsula.

The Tropico Latino is a fantastic place to stay with beautiful grounds, a security guard, and great beach locale.  The restaurant is also good, but be prepared to shell out some dough.  Cash only.

If I ever get better at surfing, I will make my way back to Santa Teresa. Great looking break. Laid back beach town. Don't take the southern road(not really a road) from Montezuma.
