Recently returned from a week at the Funky Monkey. Santa Teresa is a great little town. Very laid back feeling, beautiful beaches, and friendly people. I can't say much about the Funky Monkey though.

After reading some reviews on this web site I have to say. Where have you people stay? Are we talking about the same funky monkey lodge in Santa Teresa????

Stayed here in Dec '08 as a group of 7 . We booked the room up the hill and got our exercise walking up the stairs every night in the dark. We thought the location was great. True, they lock the gate at night but just park on the road outside of it if you drive and walk in. Be... more
