About

We live in the garden on the beach, ride waves, skate, do yoga, eat healthy, love nature, enjoy life! Being in love with this place and stoked up on traveling, we have decided to share the magic of the garden with more people and make more than a hostel in Santa Teresa. Bring your good vibes here and the garden will respond with magic energy - here it always feels like home, like a family!

Zeneidas Surf Garden is the only hostel in Santa Teresa located on the beach. From our facilities, you can reach some of the best attractions of the area, mainly numerous beaches such as Playa Santa Teresa, Playa Cocal, Playa Carmen and Playa Hermosa.

We have shared and private rooms with ACs and fans, and shared bathrooms. There are plenty of places to chill - hammocks in the garden, living area with TV, library and dining tables, two fully equipped kitchens (indoor & outdoor), fireplace on the backyard, where we make common dinners and BBQ, place for yoga & meditation. We also offer surfboards rental on site, surf lessons for all levels, yoga classes and massage.

Not worth the price at all imo, but Santa Teresa is pretty expensive in general. The best part was the direct access to the beach from backend of hostel.

Definitely one of the, if not the best hostel in Santa Teresa. As soon as you arrive, it's almost got Summer Camp vibes, it's social, with nice hanging out areas and the location right on the beach is unbeatable as is the daily yoga. The rooms were clean and the A/C was controllable in the dorm which was lovely if you're not feeling well/want to nap on the afternoon or turn it off when it's too cold at night. Only thing is the smell of wet dog almost in the entire hostel. I had a lovely stay!
