If walking to Chabad is a requirement, choose your room around the house across from Banana Beach. A hotel marketed as being in Santa Teresa can still be far up the road or on a steep hillside. Start with the exact entrance and walking route, then compare the room.
The Named Kosher Option: Blooma
Chabad's official Pesach visitor page identifies Blooma Boutique Hotel as a separate kosher hotel certified by Chabad and describes it as a 12-minute walk from the house. Contact Blooma directly for room availability, meal plans and holiday arrangements. Neither a room booking nor the word kosher tells you which meals are included on your particular dates.
The route is an approximate operator description, not a measured accessibility assessment. Before booking, ask the property to send its entrance pin and the route it recommends on foot. Confirm whether the room itself requires stairs, whether the driveway is steep and whether you will need to cross the main road.
Comparing Other Rentals
Use Chabad's current accommodation recommendations as a starting point. For a rental, ask for the actual house pin rather than an approximate booking-map circle. A beach-access path may be private, gated or unsuitable after dark. Do not plan your Shabbat walk around a shortcut unless the property confirms public or guest access.
A larger villa can suit a group eating catered meals together, but it adds kitchen and food-collection arrangements. If your group has different mobility needs, have the least mobile person assess the route rather than relying on the fastest walker's estimate.

Chabad's FAQ states there is no eruv and no active mikvah in Santa Teresa. Discuss your own needs directly. A nearby hotel cannot resolve those points through its marketing description.
FAQ
Is Blooma inside the Chabad house?
No. It is a separate hotel, listed by Chabad as a kosher accommodation option within walking distance.
Can I rely on a straight-line map distance?
No. Check the actual entrance, permitted walking route, road crossing and gradient. Straight-line distance can miss the part that makes a route difficult.
Does staying nearby reserve Shabbat meals?
No. Register for Chabad meals separately and confirm hotel meals directly with the hotel.
Does a nearby hotel reservation include Chabad meals?
No. Confirm your hotel booking and register for the specific Chabad meals separately, keeping both confirmations and the correct meeting points.
