The best hostel in Puerto Viejo without a doubt!! A short walk to the center of town. Very clean and well kept. The open-air common area is fantastic with lots of furniture and a nice community kitchen. Raynor and the rest of the staff are very accommodating and bring lots of good energy. The rooms are nice and the personal fans attached to the beds are a great touch to keep you cool. Bathrooms and showers are great. And all of this for only $13 per night! We met lots of great people here as well, and the vibe is festive on weekend nights. Would highly recommend!!
We had a great time at Pagalu my boyfriend and I. We were so impressed by how flexible and welcoming the personnel was. The room was very clean as well as the common areas. It’s a perfect place if you are visiting for a couple of days and looking for positive and peaceful vibes. Pura Vida y gracias a todos!
Great hostel, well equipped and clean kitchen, good common area, would recommend, staff friendly, close to restaurants and the sea, bus station in walking distance to here, grocery around corner from here
We were supposed to stay 12 days at Pagalù and ended up staying almost 4 weeks. Pagalú is by far one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. The new owners, Cynthia and Hugo, are superbe hosts. Pure kindness, always helpful and doing their best to ensure the most enjoyable stay. Cynthia's smile and contagious peaceful vibe, and Hugo's sense of humour add a great energy to the hostel. Pagalú is a small hostel in two buildings separated with a beautiful tropical garden. The spacious 6 bed dorm actually has 5 comfortable beds with individual reading light, fan, plug and shelf. The individual lockers are big and very useful to stow all our belongings. The shared bathrooms are constantly cleaned up and restocked all day, with a decent ratio per guest. We have never had to wait long to use the bathroom in 4 weeks. The common space is really spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is so amazing and so well equipped that it was quite attractive to cook. We made sumptuous dinner nights with other backpackers. Tea, coffee and potable water provided, as well as basic ingredients for cooking. Pagalú is very well located. Mega Super is across the street. The better Old Harbour Supermarket is a few minutes away. Everything is nearby: restaurants, sodas, bars, street food stalls, pharmacy, clinic, shops, surf shops, beaches... etc. We felt in love with Puerto Viejo. We made so many new Ticos and international friends with whom we created unforgettable memories. Pagalu Hostel certainly played a significant role in our whole experience in Puerto Viejo. Cynthia and Hugo, we will be back!!!…
