    The rooms were spotless and the private balcony was a great place to relax away from the main area. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and the outdoor showers were a nice touch. The wifi was surprisingly strong and fast, the best we've had during our trip. The kitchen was well-stocked and the AC in the bedrooms was a lifesaver. The location was perfect, close to both the beach and the bars. The staff were friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to assist us. Meeting new people in the common areas was a highlight of our stay.

    There was no soap in the bathrooms and an extra cleaning would have been appreciated due to the number of people staying. The broken bedroom door and lack of a safe for valuables were concerning.

    We had an amazing time at Pura Vida! The downstairs hangout area and upstairs chill out area were perfect for meeting other travelers and having a great time. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff, especially Sarah, were fantastic and very helpful. We truly felt like part of the family here. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

    My friend and I had an amazing time staying at Pura Vida Mini Hostel. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach. The atmosphere was so much fun and we met so many interesting people. The staff, especially Renee, were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the authentic taco fiesta and movie night that they organized. The bedrooms were comfortable and the AC cooled the room quickly. The kitchen was well-stocked and spacious, making it easy to cook our own meals. The free Wi-fi was reliable. our experience was fantastic and I highly recommend this hostel.

    We had a great time at Pura Vida Mini Hostel in Tamarindo. The hostel had a super chilled vibe and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, within walking distance to different surf spots, and we were able to book various activities and trips at the hostel. The consistent surf at Playa Langosta was a major bonus for us as surf enthusiasts. we had a fantastic stay.

    The hostel had a nice pool and plenty of amenities. The large kitchen was well-equipped and provided a great space for cooking meals. the hostel was conveniently located close to the center, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.

    The receptionists were not very friendly or welcoming during my stay. I also had an issue with the breakfast service as the food would often run out before the advertised time of 9:30 am.

    The location was great, just a short walk to the local farmers market and several restaurants. The room was spacious with comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. The staff provided excellent service with helpful recommendations for local activities. The breakfast was a nice touch with a variety of options to choose from. There were also fun leisure facilities such as a pool and game room to keep us entertained.

    One downside was the noise level from nearby construction that started early in the morning.

    The hotel was located just down the road from the beach, perfect for lazy beach days or down to Uvita to go to a festival. The cleanliness of the facilities was great, including the bathrooms and communal kitchen. The staff was friendly and approachable, making me feel comfortable from the moment I checked in.

    Everything is what I need and want.

    The hostel offered complementary bath towels and had a kitchen available for use. It was located close to the beach and within walking distance to popular restaurants. the outdoor showers were nice.

    My stay at the hostel was not very pleasant. Red ants were present in the bathroom, making it uncomfortable to use especially at night.

    The location in a relaxing area is perfect, with a supermarket nearby and the beach just minutes away. The staff are friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service. The basic amenities in the rooms, including a window to the reception desk, shared bathrooms, and air conditioning , meet all the necessary needs. The breakfast, with a hot coffee, is a wonderful addition to start the day.

    All aspects of this hotel were satisfactory.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a cozy hostel in Costa Rica. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home. They were friendly and always ready to help with any questions I had. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the common area was the perfect place to relax and chat with fellow travelers. I loved the convenience of having supermarkets and an ATM just a short walk away, and the beautiful beach was just minutes from the hotel. The highlight of my mornings was enjoying delicious breakfast waffles with a hot cup of coffee - the perfect start to my day in paradise.

    My stay at this hotel was fantastic.

    During our recent city trip, we stayed at a hostel with comfortable beds and a great outdoor space for socializing with fellow travelers. We particularly enjoyed the big and clean kitchen which was well-stocked with complimentary tea and coffee. The location was key, with the beach just a short walk away and plenty of dining options nearby.

    We had a few negative experiences during our stay. One staff member was rude to us upon arrival and the shower was consistently cold.
