About

Tasty Dayz Hostel offers different types of private rooms and dorm beds. We can accommodate solo travellers, couples and families.

We are located right across the street from Cocles beach, on a property filled with beautiful and peaceful gardens where you can observe the local fauna. We have a few resident sloths hiding in the trees and the howler monkeys come to say hello on a regular basis.

Our restaurant / bar on site is offering activities almost every night (movie night, trivia, karaoke, etc.). Come relax or have fun with us!

Reception hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Please, inform us of any late check-in so we can wait for you. We do not approve any check in past midnight. A key deposit will be required at check in.

Also, make sure to provide us with both a PHONE NUMBER (ideally Whatsapp, with country code) and an EMAIL ADDRESS so we can confirm your reservation closer to the date.

Summary of traveller reviews

Tasty Dayz Hostel in Puerto Viejo De Talamanca is praised for its friendly and accommodating volunteers who create a welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the good location, close to the beach and amenities, and the private rooms are generally found to be spacious. However, some recent feedback indicates issues with cleanliness in the kitchen and bathrooms, and occasional problems with food storage.

The volunteers were so lovely and accommodating. They were so inclusive and kept you informed and involved always and did their best to keep the place clean I loved the atmosphere they created. Our private room was great and spacious but a bit pricey for what you got. The fan was a bit mid as was the plastic door separating room/bathroom. The location is good, 20 mins to Talamanca and 20 mins to Coco but quicker if you rent a bike from the hostal which we did.

The room was nice and bathrooms are kept very clean. It’s in a great location right next to the beach and the cafe connected to it has great affordable food. The kitchen in the hostel needs a better food storage system, both nights I was there my food was taken, 1 night by animals and the other night I’m not sure but there should be a lock up on the pantry as it’s an outdoor kitchen. The staff is nice, lots of volunteers just hanging around.

We booked a private room but only had fans rather than an AC (as advertised). The fan was also very noisy. Otherwise, the room was good. The main issue was the kitchen, it just didn’t feel clean and the utensils/pans are definitely due for a replacement.
