Private Triple Room in Paradise.Breakfast +AC+Pool

AdamRating, 5 stars18 months ago

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!

AndrésRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The private room is very nice and comfortable and the hostel itself is very charming. The shared bathroom is only shared with an adjacent room and each room has their own private access to it. So it was super convenient as well. Definitely recommended and would stay again for another event at the national stadium.

Arenal Poshpacker. Private Economy (1-3 people)

ValerioRating, 5 stars5 months ago

I don't know where to start. I am a person who travels a lot, always alone, I have never returned to the same place to see as many things as possible. Well, I think I left a piece of heart in this structure, everyone warmly welcomed me, starting from Luis, the girls at the reception, Kathryn at the bar, they made me feel like one of them, there was no need to go out there to meet people because they can involve everyone with events during the evening. It's also a great place to find other lonely people like me, where you create a huge bond, as it happened to me. But, the greatest connection, I created it with the staff, I will never stop thanking them for how they made me feel. It's the only place I would go back, just for them. I will definitely be back one day, and if it is not for vacation , I will be to hire myself as a worker and live with the PURA VIDA. Thank you guys, you were my family for a week and in my heart forever.
