Property Description

Room2Board is just steps away from the beach and walking distance to the center of the vibrant surf town of Jaco. It was designed to have the social atmosphere and affordability of a traditional hostel and surf school along with the amenities and style of a boutique hotel.

Whether you come to meet new friends or learn to surf, R2B provides the optimal atmosphere and necessary tools to start any adventure off right! Come catch a flick in the movie room, swim in the pool, and grab a cerveza on our rooftop and watch the sunset over the ocean from a rocking chair or hammock. Yoga classes are offered twice daily during the week and once on Saturday and Sunday.

We cater to the solo traveler as well as large groups. We have surf and SUP packages to meet all of your needs. Choose between en-suite private rooms, shared rooms or dorm style rooms. Dine family style with new friends at our restaurant or feel free to cook in our communal kitchen.

We offer free wi-fi in our common areas, laundry service, luggage and surfboard storage, tour office, surf board rentals and lessons, cinema room, fooseball tables, community kitchen, and a great pura vida vibe.

I really enjoyed this hostel. It has a great surf school for a decent price. I surfed for the first time and it was so much fun. The hostel itself is well organized with a large shared bathroom, co-working area and kitchen. The two places I enjoyed the most is the rooftop terrace with hammocks and the pool/bar area. It is really easy to meet people here. My only complaint is about the minimal kitchen equipment. As a passionate of coffee, there is no coffee maker at all and no coffee cups :/

Absolutely loved Room2Board! I came fueron low season but still met some great people. Literally a 20 second walk to the beach, great drinks, food, and people! I stayed in the air conditioned large dorm. Suuuuper comfy bed, outlets next to you, big lockers, everything you could need. I can’t wait to stay here again :)

I’ve stayed at and worked at a lot of hostels over the last few years and Room2Board is easily one of the best. Literally STEPS away from the beach, an awesome atmosphere to hangout and meet people, easy to book surf lessons and amazing instructors! Will be back for sure!
