Costa RicaGreat location, friendly staff willing to help with an early checkout, and good people. The bed was very thin and uncomfortable due to the springs being easily felt. The staff kept everything very clean so walking around barefoot wasn’t disgusting! The lounge areas are nice, but label everything as we had some stuff from the fridge used and ended up keeping it all in a box together.

United States of AmericaWe love everything about Pura Vida from the gardens to the spacious shared outdoor spaces to the tidy and fully stocked kitchen. The staff and owners are always helpful and they run an excellent business. The location is perfectly tucked away not far from downtown Montezuma, making it a perfect spot for young people and families alike. This hostel seems to attract really awesome people and we loved it so much the first time we came that we came back and stayed for a week. Book without hesitation!!
