Superb
Nov 25, 2024
We stayed for 2 nights of our 10 day CR adventure. This was my first time in a hostel and I was impressed. The room was minimal but clean. The amenities were great and staff very friendly. We ate at the restaurant one night and drank at the bar. My only suggestion is adding a deadbolt or swing lock on the room door. There is a gate into the courtyard so that made us feel more secure. Lots of hammocks to relax in courtyard, heated pool, air conditioning was very cold. Close to lots!

hostel is fine but definitely has a lot of room for improvement. upon check in the staff is super pushy about immediately trying to sell you tours. kitchen isn’t well stocked, for a place that always rains there is no indoor/covered common area. and all the common area ceilings leak so even the things that have some coverage aren’t dry. wifi is bad. staff are in the pool area at 5:30 am talking very loudly and it wakes you up in the room. overall it’s fine but could be a lot better.

It’s a very good hostel, the common areas are beautiful and comfortable. It’s a very chill hostel, not a lot of parties or social events.
