About Us
We are Marianne and Rob, the proud owners and managers of Magic Place in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Over 20 years ago, we moved to this beautiful area and have since dedicated our love and care to creating a magical retreat.
Our family has been involved in helping us build the Magic Place from day one, including Marianne’s parents and Rob’s dad, along with our two beautiful daughters, who also help care for the place. Rob is a vegan chef and Marianne a hotel manager. Both of us love surfing and enjoying the natural beauty of Santa Teresa with our two girls. We strive to provide an affordable space for travelers to feel comfortable and close to everything. We invite you to stay with us and experience the magic and tranquility of our family-owned oasis.
OCEAN FRIENDLY BUSINESS MEMBER
Our Efforts for our Community and World
At Magic Place, we are deeply committed to sustainability and proud to be certified as an Ocean Friendly Business® by the Nicoya Waterkeepers. As the third accommodation in Santa Teresa to achieve this certification, we implement sustainable practices and motivate our guests to join us. Each room is equipped with compost bins, water filters to eliminate bottled water, and we use only biodegradable products. We provide reusable supermarket bags and avoid single-use plastics. Our property has an appropriate water treatment system for gray and black water, and our common area features a composting bin where guests can contribute their food waste. Our staff is trained in solid waste and wastewater management, ensuring we minimize our environmental impact. We invite you to learn more about our initiatives and our story through the Nicoya Waterkeepers' Ocean Friendly Business Program here and here.
