Hostel Cool Vibes Beach Hostel

100m al sur y 50m este del restaurante el coco antiguo domilocos, 44500 Dominical, Costa Rica –

Lock in a great price for Cool Vibes Beach Hostel – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

It’s close to the surf spot.. a kindly staff...and cheap.

Flavio, Costa Rica

The location is about 1km walk into the town centre; but excellent as it’s right across from the beach! Sunsets just a quick 1 min walk. Everything in Dominical is close as it’s not a large town. I enjoyed the chill area of the living room area and kitchen. The place was fairly quiet at night; nobody partying or keeping you up in the dorm rooms. It was staffed and they use wristbands to ensure only guests are using the area. Surfboard rentals available. Felt safe and has the basics of what you need for a short stay. Or private room may be better than dorm here.

Andrea, Canada

Amazing location literally steps to the beach! Also we saw iguanas, toucans, and a sloth in the big tree right across from the entrance to the hostel.

Megan, Canada

The staff was friendly and helpful. The place has a nice little pool. The room was clean and the bad was comfortable enough.

Lior, Israel

I loved the place the minute we arrived: the friendly staff, the cool vibes of the guests, the nice wide living space with lots of tables and chairs as well as comfy sofas, the large communal kitchen kept clean by guests and staff, the free delicious coffee, the closeness to the beach, the closeness to town on foot, far enough from main road to avoid traffic noise, the relaxed feeling one leaves with. The owners and their 2 boys are very special and they run Cool Vibes with style. Thumbs up to them!!!

Silvia, Portugal

we enjoyed the facilities and the location to beach and services.

James, United States of America

Very hot place ! Take a air conditioned room or suffer the heat. There’s no air circulation in the “fan’s room”. The building was made in some kind that is no wind circulation (block wind). Should be a little more clean... but it’s ok
It’s close to the surf spot.. a kindly staff...and cheap.

Our stay at Cool Vibes was good. The kitchen is very clean and you have everything you need to prepare a proper meal. It was a little bit loud in the morning, since the rooms don’t have a real window (out of glas), instead it’s a mosquito net. Good value for money, though.

Private Room was very hot even with a fan as no window to outside. Couldn’t close completely the window giving on corridor which is not great for privacy
