I really liked the location and the proximity to the beach
Cockroaches in the room and the most insane amount of mosquitos. I live in Costa Rica and have been to ST multiple times including this year. I have never been bitten so badly. You could see them in the room and other travellers said the same thing. You should offer mosquito nets over the bed.

La salida a la playa y el estacionamiento con código de seguridad son dos aspectos que destacan al alojamiento. Pero también el equipamiento de la casa, desde las ollas, sartenes, copas, hasta y eníamos café, aceite, azúcar, sal, todo lo necesario para cocinar y no hacer gastos innecesarios.
Por último valoro mucho la decoración y lo lindo que es el lugar.
Creo que los precios son altos apesar que la experiencia es excelente.

the location is great. Very close to the beach with its own entrance to the beach. The staff was nice.
For the price maybe should throw in some little breakfast. But at least there was coffee.

Dit hostel ligt direct aan de zee!
Vrij gehorig en geen faciliteiten voor het bestellen van een drankje of hapje.

Easy access to the beach. Multiple kitchens spread across the site which is great as hostel kitchens often get really busy but this wasn’t the case as each section of the hostel had its own kitchen for a set number of rooms. Had something going on most nights if you wanted to be sociable/ have a cheap cooker dinner too!
Have good options for yours and ATV rental here too
The private room we booked didn’t have much storage which if we were there for more than 3 days might have been a bit annoying but it was clean and tidy! We were also at the end of the strip so you had to take a shuttle or rent an ATV to get to the other end really, you could walk but it was quite far we thought personally.

Great staff they really tried to help. We got changed to a bungalow that was great
We stayed in the van which was cool. But it had no curtains so you woke up early. It was also a bit small.
There was a nest of red ants in the toilet in which I stepped at night. So had bites all over my feet for the next week

Pretty although it needed a bit of tidying up around outside area.
Felt like the staff lacked customer service, I was never shown around the facilities or anything. Didn’t feel the most welcomed, other than that it’s a pretty hostel with a good location.

The hostel is on the beach in Santa Teresa, a very beautiful location. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.
Nothing to share! All was great!

Exceptional value for money, facilities, location and happy, friendly staff (including the lovely doggies)
Nothing except people playing music from their phones or portable speakers… I prefer listening to Costa Rica’s nature, wildlife and singing birds

Right on the sea front, nice yoga class and easy surf board hire. Great kitchen facilities. Saw howler monkeys in the tree in the property (but not disturbed sleep). Comfy bed. Receptionist was really helpful.
Nothing - really enjoyed our stay :)

Right on the beach, dorm rooms were quiet and comfortable.
Just stayed shortly but didn’t feel it was a place to meet many new people (because of big size compared to other hostels)

the location is the best, for a surfer. it’s right on the beach, which I loved so much. it’s in the forest that backs up onto the beach. directly out front is a great surf break, I love La Lora to surf. it’s in the north part of town and has really good restaurants around. despite the other reviews the staff was super friendly and helpful. they catered to my needs right away. I attended a really good yoga class in the morning on the property, you have to pay, it’s discounted for guests. the room with a king bed I stayed in was super nice, clean and modern. I love the closed off outdoor patio garden area. it was very spacious. nice well equipped kitchen. I think the room is way batter than the photos. the photos make it look dark and dingy but in reality it was nice natural lighting, it’s a well shaded area under trees, great to keep the super hot heat out. the AC works great. comfy bed
the king room was attached to an apartment type place and I could hear the people next door talking in the mornings and evenings and when they were walking up the stairs above the room. it was noisier than I would have liked, I’m sensitive to noise. I asked the staff for a fan for white noise and they delivered right away which helped.
It was annoying to have to pay in cash. it was an expensive room and I had to do 3 atm transactions to get all the cash, which cost me $21 in fees because the closest atm was $7 per transaction. also the closest atm is a 20
minute walk away.

Where to start?! This is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a beach break in Santa Teresa - you could spend your whole time in and around the hostel, enjoying the multiple-times-a-day yoga, having surf lessons or hiring a board, taking your free coffee down to the beach in the morning and soaking up the sociable but chilled atmosphere. We would definitely recommend to anyone going to Santa Teresa!
