Incredible place, at the border of Jaco. Super tranquila vibes, a wonderful garden, comfy rooms, and the most beautiful decoration and kitchen area I have ever seen in a hostel. Clean and tidy, without a doubt, the best hostel we have stayed in CR sofar. The breakfast is also delicious, best gallo pinto sofar (btw I would love to have the recipe of that)

The place was clean and tidy, hit all the basic needs. Staff was friendly and helpful. I looked forward to gallo pinto,scrambled eggs, fried plantains, toast, and fruit each morning. The open air rooftop cafe was great for breakfast, and a sweet place to hang out in the evening, too. A quick walk to the beach, 24/7 convenience store with made-to-order fresh fruit smoothies, iced coffee, etc, right downstairs. I felt safe and secure, as a woman there alone for 6 days/5 nights. The reviews I read ahead of time indicated that the beds are memory foam pads on wood frames, and not very forgiving. I brought my own sheets, and while the bed wasn’t too comfortable, I would totally make the same plans to stay here again in a heartbeat. The AC and hot shower were the crowning touch. This would not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it was perfect for me and my travel needs.

All hostels in Jacó

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Everyone at the hostel was incredible - the owner, Brian, as well as the friendly volunteers and staff. There were great food promos each day, generous happy hour times and prices, and the AC at night was an absolute lifesaver. I felt extremely safe at this hostel as both a young woman and a foreigner, and my friends and I were very sad to leave. A couple of us are even considering going back to work there!!
