This hostel was awesome! The staff were friendly, the location was within walking distance to the beach, tons of restaurants and shops, and the night market. It had a laid back and social vibe to it. They were even able to arrange a 3am airport shuttle for me.
United States of AmericaSuper central to everything! Close to the beach! Super helpful staff, fun bar, awesome breakfast options included, free coffee, great pool area and we got to watch a family of monkeys eat mangos next to us as we swam in the pool. All around an amazing hostel that we strongly recommend!!
MexicoStaff was very friendly. Great location, common areas were great. The pool was a plus.
United States of AmericaVery lively vibes. Great, cool space a 5ish minute walk to the water. Free coffee and water for guests and plenty of space to chill. Only $35 for a 2 hr surf lesson !!
MoroccoThe staff was chill as hell and the party starts at the hostel bar! The location is perfect.
United States of AmericaLife of the party definitely seems to be at this hostel, which we loved having (2 out of 3 nights anyway). There were 2 really nice open mic nights held there during our stay but the noise carries and it is very loud inside the rooms so if you want to get a good nights sleep, may be not ideal to choose this place. We wanted a fun, party kind of hostel when we chose this one to wrap up our trip and that’s what we got so we were very happy to stay here. The rooms are super basic. There are lockers but you need to have your own lock. Free coffee, water and ice at the front which we enjoyed!
CanadaThe location was great!! A few steps away from downtown tamarindo. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Costa RicaThis is the amazing place to stay at. They have free coffee during the day, the breakfast was delicious and they gave a few options to choose from. Friendly staff and easy check-in. There was a live music in the restaurant area, but it was quite in the backyard where the rooms are located.
CanadaThe people, environment and the place was really cool!
Costa RicaVery social hostel. Sometimes this is the bar that people in Tamarindo go to. They have live music, bar, restaurant on site. Staff was very accommodating in keeping my stay flexible. Great location close to restaurants, beach etc.
