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.

Total disaster. We were not allowed to get in. The gates where closed and the security guy had no notice of our confirmed booking. We never got the money back.

The hostel may be good in peak season however do not go in non-peak times. There were as many ‘volunteers’ as there were people staying, and all seemed to have a degree in unhelpful and patronising customer service - felt a bit like high school with a clique we weren’t in as they were almost all particularly unfriendly and unwelcoming. We stayed 2 nights and for 24 hours there was no water although no one told us that it was out we just had to figure it out for ourselves - this meant toilets didn’t flush an
