Costa Rica: albergues

We stayed for 9 nights and absolutely had an awesome stay! the room was clean and AC worked perfectly. We really enjoyed the environment and sense of community that this hostel fosters as well as enjoying the privacy of a seperate room while staying there. The supermarkets are extremely close (2 to choose from within a 5 minute walk), the beach is super close, and the property is far enough off the main road that noise and dust aren't an issue. It was a pleasure staying here and would very stay again!

Ein schönes Hostel mit sauberen Zweibettzimmern, viel Natur und freundlichen Mitarbeitern.

Séjour exceptionnel!! Endroit tres bien aménager et tellement beau. Toute était tres propre et tel que photo! La vraie vie au milieu de la nature dans une ferme auto suffisante!! Nous avons adorer l’expérience avec nos quatre enfants. Les repas (avec léger supplement$) étaient délicieux!! Rencontrer des gens incroyables dans un atmosphère incroyable. De plus, quand la nature se réveil le matin, s’est magnifique a entendre. Le ruisseau, le paresseux qui vie sur le terrain avec son petit bébé, et les dizaines de oiseaux différents wow!!! Nous nous sommes senti chez nous et complètement dépaysé en meme temps. Merci pour ce séjour, nous recommandons 100%

We really had a great stay at Casa Aura. Would not hesitate to recommend to others looking for a very nice hostel, close to the beach, with beautiful surroundings and breakfast included. Great value for the money.

Great place definitely for the price you pay for it! The garden is beautifull and Andrew and his wife are both very kind and easy to talk too.

I wasn't going to post a review because I had a very few nits with the place that might have led me to give it less than five stars. There were basically only two regarding the place itself. The first was the lack of a lamp on the dresser next to the bed, which left the room lit by only the fan light in the ceiling and I found that to be a sadly lost opportunity for a warmer ambience. The other was that the floor in the shower was slippery and I had to be careful about not falling. I really didn't want to mention these things (I'm reviewing only because he reviewed me and I want to see what he wrote), as I told them to Manuel and I'm sure he'll correct both of them. In fact he said he had two lamps I could use, but it was already too late in the evening to bother. And I'm sure he'll put a mat in the shower. Everything else was fine, except there was confusion finding the place as several other reviewers have mentioned. I'll send him a better map. In general very highly recommended!

Cabinas Carol is a great hostel… Carol is quick to respond to messages. Carlos, Ismael and Carolina were always helpful whenever I needed something. Great spot very near the wave - walkable - close to the markets, restaurants and most importantly the point… been staying here mant times over the years and always have a good time. Definitely worth the price.

We loved carols so much. Our first time in pavones and was surprised at how great the location is. Easy walking to surf and everything you need is a short walk. The space is beautiful and everyone is friendly. We’ll be back!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen, haben uns off season in der Ruhe sehr wohl gefühlt und Carlos war jederzeit erreichbar. Pavones außerhalb der Saison ist wirklich beschaulich, ein Mietwagen ist nützlich, um flexibel nach Punta Banco zum Surfen zu fahren, wenn Pavones nicht läuft. Die Welle ist ansonsten direkt vor der Tür und gleichzeitig hat man im Hostel das Gefühl, mitten im Dschungel zu wohnen. Delfine, Wale, Papageien und Leguane inklusive… eine sehr schöne Auszeit!

A frente de las olas y tenía la mejor experiencia a cabinas Carol. Me sientí súper cómoda aquí y conocí muchs gente y amigos para siempre. Estoy agradecida para este lugar y toda gente adentro. Gracias Carlos 🫶💯 regresaré pronto

No frills, but perfect setup for surfing pavones, close to the main break, and lots of cool guests. If you’re in pavones to surf, carols is perfect

Non so da dove iniziare. Sono una persona che viaggia molto, sempre da solo, non sono mai tornato nello stesso luogo per vedere più cose possibili. Ecco, Credo di aver lasciato un pezzo di cuore in questa struttura, tutti mi hanno accolto calorosamente, a partire da Luis, alle ragazze della reception, a Kathryn al bar, mi hanno fatto sentire uno di loro, non c'era neanche bisogno di uscire di li per incontrare persone perché riescono a coinvolgere tutti con eventi durante la sera. È anche un ottimo posto per trovare altre persone solitarie come me, dove si crea un legame enorme, come a me è successo. Ma, il più grande legame, l'ho creato con lo staff, non finirò mai di ringraziarli per come mi hanno fatto sentire. È l'unico posto dove tornerei, solo per loro. Sicuramente un giorno tornerò, e se non è per vacanza , lo sarò per farmi assumere come lavoratore e vivere con LA PURA VIDA. Grazie ragazzi, siete stati la mia famiglia per una settimana e nel mio cuore per sempre.

Excelente lugar, muy tranquilo, la piscina, excelente, muy amplia, buen campo para descansar.-

I had a wonderful stay at TamaHostel and I will most definitely be back. It is an amazing deal for the price and the type of people it attracts is amazing. If you’re into surfing and generally have a laid back personality you will definitely make friends easily here. The volunteers are amazing and extremely helpful, if you’re a solo traveller and coming to Tamarindo, TamaHostel is the place to be! :)

Es war eine grossartige Zeit in Drake Bay und ich habe mich so wohl gefühlt, dass ich länger geblieben bin, als geplant. Für alle Fragen waren Henar und Pascal da und auch beim Buchen von Booten usw. Superfreundliche, grosszügige und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war riesig, sauber und bequem, um die Klimaanlage war ich froh und die Hängematte vor der Tür habe ich genossen. Super fairer Preis.

We had a great stay at Diego’s place. He was super kind and helpful, and our dog was more than welcome, as Diego has a few dogs himself. The place was very clean and conveniently located close to the beach and local restaurants. Alejandra, together with her friend, helped take care of our son, for which we are very grateful. Diego and Alejandra are wonderful, family-oriented people. I 100% recommend staying at their place.

This is an excellent location within the town, with plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance, also of course very easy to get to the beach. I think their accommodation was wonderful and they really paid attention to detail when they put the place together. Lots of thoughtful touches. I ended up leaving because Santa Teresa is just too crowded for me at this point, but that has nothing to do with this hostel. If ST is where you want to be, this is an amazing hostel!

Se los súper recomiendo lugar tranquilo una amplia cocina

Minha experiência foi incrível na Casa Malibu! O local é exatamente como nas fotos, muito bem cuidado e super confortável. A comunicação com o Léo foi excelente, e o Spider foi muito atencioso e nos forneceu todas as informações necessárias para uma estadia tranquila, sempre disposto a nos ajudar. Com certeza voltaria a me hospedar aqui e recomendo a todos!

Had a great stay here, lovely peaceful location, close to the big grocery store and the gas station. Fairly reasonable pricing

The place is very well maintained. The bar and the restaurant are a real plus. Clean bedroom, quiet. The host is very friendly. I highly recommend!
