Jamaica is an amazing host, really helpful and made us feel like home on arrival. The room was nice and cozy and the overall hostel too. PS: the place has super good wifi!!!

Mari-liis Estonia

We loved the place! Super cute, great location next to the beach, supermarket and a restaurant Jamaica the owner was so nice, we booked the tours to Corcovado and Cano Island that were really good

Shir Israel

The property was well organized, clean and within five minutes of the water. Well situated with restaurants and grocery stores a stones throw away. The manager is super attentive guests needs. Truly an awesome place in a beautiful part of Costa Rica.

Sharon United States of America

Jamaica is an amazing host! She helped me set up a wonderful floating tour as well as transportation to the airport. The hostel is comfortable and in a great location. Highly recommend!

Carolyn United States of America

Jamaica was amazing! Any information we needed, all of our tours seamlessly booked and all done with a casual air - no stress. The room was spacious and cleaned daily. With only 3 rooms it was like having an airbnb apartment to yourself. Not to mention she picked us up on arrival and dropped us at the boat so we didnt have to trudge up/down a hill with our bags, even though it was walking distance. 100% recommend!!!!

Cora Canada

Alvaro was ready to pick me up when I arrived on the boat which made for an easy check in. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked great, and there was even a fan to dry my damp clothes (necessary in Costa Rica). I booked my Cano Island and Corcovado tours with the hostel and both were good. The location is great but really all of the places have a great location.

Danielle United States of America

Jamaica is super friendly and accommodating. Was so nice to have an air-conditioned room. Shower was also great. Perfect location in Drake Bay.

Claudillea United Kingdom

everything was fine about it and showers were hot which was a nice surprise after staying in a lot of other places in Costa Rica without hot water. There was filtered drinking water. Jamaica was really nice and also picked us up from the boat drop off.

Chris United Kingdom

very nice place in drake bay ! next to the beach, restaurants and next to the pick up places for organised visits

Rita Switzerland

Just from the outside the place looks super cool. Like a rundown jungle hut. But when you get inside it’s very modern, the rooms are very nice with AC and hot water in the shower. The shared kitchen is also well equipped. And the location couldn’t be better. Also the owner is so nice and extremely helpful with tours and everything. Wifi was also really good.

We are a small 3 room/private bath hostel with A/C for the humid nights. We have a small kitchen area where guests can make basic meals and complementary coffee & tea in the adjoining tour office where we provide info and can book all tours in the area. Located in the center of Drake Bay, Agujas village. Directly in front of the ice cream store (Try the Frozen Cappuccino, they're awesome). The two larger supermarkets are located less than 10 meters away and it is a 5 min walk to the closest beach. There are many great restaurants within walking distance (La Choza or Casa Tortugo) Ask us for more information!
Jamaica is the owner and will help you with all your needs. PLEASE advise which boat you will arrive on and if you need assistance from the boat drop off, from Sierpe the taxi boats depart at 11:30am and 3:45pm daily (CASH ONLY) If you are driving we highly recommend that you have a 4x4 and take it easy, the roads have deep ditches and loose gravel! Be careful in the green season (April - November) it can rain a lot, we do not recommend to take the road in during this time. Another option is to leave your car parked in Sierpe at Oleaje Sereno Restaurant and take the boat, it is a beautiful ride through mangrove forests and down the pacific coast.
There are no ATM's in the area, many places do accept cards but better safe then sorry! There are many beautiful beaches to been seen and amazing tropical rain forest hugging the coastline, ask us about the best kept secrets in the area. You can explore on your own or ask to have a local guide take you to waterfalls, rivers, hidden beaches and so much more. Tours we offer: ask us about prices Floating Tour - River Canyoning down Rio Claro. Overnight 15m from the ground in pristine primary forest (minimum 2 people). Corcovado National Park: San Pedrillo Ranger Station OR Sirena Ranger Station. Cano Island Biological Reserve: Scuba diving OR snorkeling. Mangrove tour - Sierpe-Terraba mangrove forests. Nocturnal Hike through the jungle. Swimming in the Bio Luminescence (moon dependent). Bird Watching 2hrs. kayaking. Horseback riding (Half day, full day or sunset ride). Fishing - Please inquire about availability and prices, there are several great captains in the area.
