As the winner of the 2008 Grand Award in the International Class for second homes, the resort leaves nothing to be desired in luxury and elegance in its natural setting, providing interaction with the jungle and it’s beachfront location.
The resort consists of five spacious free standing, individually decorated and private casitas. Each casita has its own tropical décor, situated on over seven acres of private beachfront property located near the bustling beach town of Santa Teresa on the Southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.
The two Master Suites include dining and living room areas with King size beds and one or two daybeds, the 3 Junior Suites have either King or Queen size beds. The Guestroom also has a Queen size bed with air conditioning and is conveniently located adjacent to the main clubhouse/kitchen building, suitable for the elderly or handicapped. All Suites have beautiful open to the stars showers.
We operate as a full resort rental or similar to a bed and breakfast where individuals can take separate casitas. You also benefit from having our full staff that takes care of all of your needs.
The infinity pool is chemical free, the kitchen is equipped with all the needs for the gourmet Chef and the crows nest loft is perfect for a massage or private Yoga. A once in a lifetime opportunity to have an entire Resort to yourself at a price that is truly a steal!!!!

Why the Owner Chose Playa Santa Teresa
When long time friends Bob Florsheim and Rick Hughes decided to buy a beachfront property in Santa Teresa, all they had in mind was building a small summer hang out for themselves, their families and their friends. After interviewing several architects, Rick and Bob could not find anyone who could really capture their idea. It was then that they turned to their friend Bill Hezmahalch , owner of Hezmahalch and Associates. Bill was immediately interested in the idea and enthusiastically got behind the project. He helped to form and execute the overall vision of the project, and after just a few visits he formulated the unique concept that has now become Latitude 10.
His main idea was to create a secret place, hidden from the outside world by overgrown jungle and native plants. The layout was designed in a way that no trees had to be cut down during the construction, for this reason a dense canopy covers the property. At night, guests were to explore the grounds with wooden torches as lighting. Villas were to be dimly lit with candles and lamps at night and completely open during the day. Cobble stone pathways were to intertwine and connect each villa until finally merging and revealing the ultimate surprise: the spectacular clubhouse, with the teal swimming pool and crystal ocean in the background.
Today, even as a hotel, Latitude 10 still preserves that summer hang out feel, and guests may enjoy the privacy and exclusivity that this implicates.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Staying at Latitude 10 is like staying with good friends at their luxury beach house. A unique opportunity to have an entire Resort to yourself at a fraction of it´s true value.

Dear Rick and Bob, I can\'t begin to tell you what a magnificent home/resort that you both have created in this place called paradise. It is obvious that the two of you must live a lifestyle of luxury and have a deep appreciation of beautiful things. ..It is apparent in all that you have done here.We have traveled most of the world and must say that this has been one of our most incredible trips ever. I want to thank you so much for this oppurtunity and hope to return again one day to your beautiful home.We also want to pay special homage to Johnny and Diogenes who has done the most incredible job in making our stay unforgettable. Again...Thank you so much from all of us.

Here is the link to pictures and videos of my recent trip to Costa Rica. I spent an amazing week with my good friend, DeeDee Olson, at an incredible place in a spectacular setting. (The hyperbole is NOT over-stated) We stayed at Latitude 10 Resort on the Pacific Coast of the southern tip of Nicoya Peninsula. Read more here The highlight was Latitude 10. It was built by two friends and business partners, one of whom is a friend of mine. It was not intended to be a commercial venture, but was designed to be the ultimate getaway for their families and friends. Therefore, it is unlike any other resort/hotel. The quality of construction, attention to detail, and seamless merging with the natural surroundings, make this a unique destination. There are five casitas, set apart from each other in natural settings. Each one is distinctive in the way it is decorated, and is totally private. So, while you’re resting on 1,000 thread count sheets, you can hear the monkeys cavorting in the trees just outside your window. Of equal importance, the very competent staff members are extremely nice and friendly. A delicious breakfast and light evening meal are provided, and we found all of the food in the area to be of gourmet quality. After seeing the photos, and especially the videos, I hope you’ll want to experience Latitude 10. (No, I’m not on commission), however, if you must have TV, phone, room service (the club house does have wireless), and have an aversion to being immersed in nature, look elsewhere. photobucket.com I suggest not clicking on “slideshow”, because it doesn’t include the videos. Just click on the first image, and then each subsequent image in the window that appears in the upper left hand corner.

Soon to Latitude 10! Let’s just say that it was the most idyllic, hidden castaway retreat in a stunning location and offering a level of service and luxury that most hotels can only aspire to. You can quote me on that!
