About

Wake up to the sounds of the jungle and the Caribbean Sea. At Oasis Beachfront Hostel it’s common to spot sloths, monkeys, iguanas, frogs, and tropical birds right in our garden while staying just steps from the beach and close to the famous Salsa Brava surf break.

Oasis is a relaxed and social hostel where travelers from all over the world come together to share stories, meet new friends, and enjoy the pura vida lifestyle. Relax in a hammock in the garden, read from our shared book exchange, challenge new friends to a board game, or kick a football around. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the Caribbean coast.

Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen, fridge, free Wi-Fi, parking, camping areas, laundry service, and clean showers and bathrooms. Free coffee is available in the morning. We offer a variety of accommodation options including dorms, private rooms, camping spots, and a cozy cabin with its own porch.

Our location makes Oasis the perfect base for exploring Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Surfers love being close to Salsa Brava, and from reception we can help organize local experiences such as cacao tours, surf lessons, and shuttles to Bocas del Toro.

Our team is always happy to help with tips and recommendations to make your stay unforgettable. Warning: you might spend more time watching sloths than checking your phone.

Pura vida and see you soon at Oasis.

One of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at, the vibe at this hostel is great. It’s a small hostel but right on the beach, the location is great. The owner and the rest of the staff are super nice and helpful as well which made my time here more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this hostel if you’re in Puerto Viejo

Absolutely loved staying at Oasis! All of the volunteers were so kind & helpful, & the owner was great as well! Great location, easy to get to town & even easier to get to the beach! The wildlife was incredible, I saw two sloths during the stay, as well as monkeys & other wildlife. The vibe was super chill & I enjoyed a rustic experience, would definitely return! Thank you Oasis!!
