Everything this place raises the bar for hostel life. The pool! The receptionists were both very helpful and were so kind to me during my stay. The bathrooms are amazing and reminded me of for Vegas hotels, the women who stay here are beautiful and frequent the pool, easy bike rentals, and all the accomodations any adventurer could desire. I really dug the outside planter/sink combos for general washing and laundry. The woman who runs this place is an absolute goddess and is quite possibly one of her most stunning women I have seen in Costa Rica, ever. 🤤

We got everything we needed, the room was comfortable and we where at a walking distance (2-3 min aprox) from the beach. They also have a great restaurant right next to the hotel and they have great food.

Very cozy and informal environment, you will feel like home and make good friends instantly. The location makes you feel like in the middle of the jungle while still being 10 minutes away from the beach! Plus you can rent bikes.

Great staff, super nice reception and people! The location is cool, its not really in the city, but a few (2-3?) km from it, next to the nice beach area, which is much nicer and more interesting area. The hostel is super nice place to hang it, thanks for great stay!
