Traveller reviews

“Amazing location to chill out”
14 Jun 2025
Amazing location to chill and easy walk to town. Super helpful staff. Would recommend to family and friends.

“Superb”
24 Apr 2025
Hostel located just at the beach which makes you really feel like you are living on the beach. Great personel, everything was going smooth. Hostel has also bikes for rent. Kitchen was big enough for all the people staying at this time. Place was being cleaned every day, also bed was very comfy and spacious :)

“Perfect combo experience of nature and comfort!”

It was just a unique amazing place, rustic, chill, type of awesome glamping, perfect combo experience of nature and comfort . They are true to what they promise, great AC, blackout curtains, nice sheets, great bathroom, real great shower power with great warm water. Location was perfect, also super safe, staff was great too, definitely coming back!

“A true tropical beachfront experience”
10 Apr 2025
It's a very nice place, with everything you'd expect from a hostel, set in a beach and jungle context, just look around and you'll see monkeys, capybaras, blue crabs, etc. However, despite having a very interesting bar, it closes early and seems rather quiet. The housekeepers make an effort to keep the place clean and tidy, but there are guests who only think of themselves and leave the kitchen in disarray - despite the fact that there are several notices stating that dishes should be washed immediately after use and that there is CCTV, with a fine of USD 10 for offenders. The hostel's management fails in this respect, because it seems to care less about this than about people who smoke in public open spaces. For me, and I'm sure for most people, it bothers me more not to have space at the sink to wash my own dishes than the smoke from a cigarette in an outdoor area. Other than that, the experience was very positive - there is room for improvement, but it was a good stay in a good hostel. A bit expensive, but considering the location and the general prices in CR, it’s understandable.
