I originally planned on staying here for only 2 nights but I ended up staying a whole week! I love this hostel if I were to go back to Tamarindo I will definitely be going back! The staff were amazing and super friendly (shoutout to Lucas!) It felt like family and was a great place to socialize and hang out with other people staying at the hostel. They have plenty of rooms and bathrooms and a big kitchen to cook. It’s cleaned throughout the day and is kept very nice. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay near the beach
The place is very close to the beach and town but on a qùiet road. The kitchen was large with plenty of space to work. The staff is very helpful.
