Hostel Vista Serena Reviews

Friendly atmosphere, safe environment. Best place to stay for travelers, I went solo and made a ton of friends!

The location is pretty fine, also the environment, but the bad thing is that everything is almost the double than in any other place, water costs 1600 and then u buy it for 900 somewhere else in cosga rica. The girl frok the reception, is nice but she barely knows spanish and whenever u have to ask her something she always makes u speak with conrad the owner, besides we didnt check in and she was pressing us to book for an excursion the day after and pay her a deposit...

This was the first hostel I've ever stayed at and I've probably been spoiled. This place was not only located in an utterly beautiful spot, but the friendly and helpful staff made the stay all the more enjoyable. I stayed in a private room so security really wasn't an issue for me. Everything was clean, food was good and prompt. Basically, I had a really good experience.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. The staff (Leah) and Conrad are great and will go out of their way to ensure you have a great time in Manuel Antonio.

This hostel was great. Although a bit of a hike from the main beach, it has wonderful ocean views and is a short walk from a mini market and some restaurants. Catch the bus to Manuel Antonio park. The dorm rooms are large, with fans and lockers. Comfy mattresses. Great atmosphere - an excellent place to meet other backpackers and share a beer over sunset. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

I loved this place. I was here for X-mas eve and the staff cooked up a X-Mas Dinner and had some live music. Great place for meeting some great people and I'll always have fond memories of this place. About a 30 minute walk to the beach but easy to get there by a bus that stops near by. A short taxi ride will take you to Quepos if you want some late night partying or simply walk to Bamboo Jams down the street. I'd stay here again.

a bit far from the beach -- thought it was a 30 minute walk but it turned out to be an hour walk instead. nice place to stay overall, clean and fun.

Great fun, very friendly staff, Conrad is a real nice guy. Beautiful view, would love to come back

I loved my stay at Vista Serena. Clean bathrooms, spacious rooms. Amazing location and view of the ocean. The view at sunset is absolutely beautiful. There is a restaurant at the hostel where Conrad and his mother Sonia cook-up delicious dishes that are affordable. A great place to meet people, to hangout and have some drinks with friends before going out. Close to the bus stop and ATM and grocery store. I would definitely recomend this hostel and I would stay here again in the future!!!!!

Fantastic staff, very helpful and friendly! located close to supermarket, restaurants, and beach - and bus is 50 cents!!

The view is fantastic, Conrad and his staff are some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever experience, and I ended up staying twice as long as planned because my experience was so great!

Excellent hostel. Conrad is an awesome dude, great staff. Location is great, near bus stops. Excellent views. Great rates. Close to a couple of good restaurants, restaurant at the hostel was not open at all during stay but it was ok because the place was fantastic.
