They had a bed for me AND for another person that also got kicked out of the other hostel. Right away the vibe is incredibly friendly and reassuring for the person... More

You have to check out Cabinas Playa in Santa Teresa! Great atmosphere and right across from the beach and two of the biggest night life spots in the town. Also located in between the two grocery stores and near several great restaurants and surf board rentals. I have stayed at several hostels throughout the world and Cabinas Playa is definitely...

The location is perfect to get to the best beach break of the area,as its in front of the hostel,you only just have to cross the street. Very good vibe - you meet a lot of friendly people - staff is looking after you and have loads of cold beers ready for you after a long day surfing. But also... More

Me and my friend arrived to Sta Teresa to spend a few days and ended up staying muuuuuuuuuch more than expected. It was just what where expecting for our holidays, we felt... More

For a hostel is a nice and comfortable place. The owners are friendly and the stay is fun for the party people and also for the surfers as the hostel is in front of the best surf point! Can't wait to come back with my Brazilian girlfriends to have the perfect party blend: brazil + pura vida! ;-)

This place opposite the disco was overpriced, dirty, with rude staff who like to party at night in the hostel. We also had to share the bathroom of our 5-bed dorm with several people who slept in the hammocks. The room was never cleaned during our stay.

I found this place online, not knowing anything about Costa Rica or Santa Teresa. What I found was the perfect combination of incredible beaches, nightlife, amazing food, and the friendliest accommodations around. The cost per night was really affordable, the pool was fresh, the beers cold, the pool table and movies were welcome after all day on the beach. The... More
