Cool hostel right on the beach front with easy access and reasonably priced surf board rental! I traveled in the quiet season, so unfortunately missed the more active and party side the hostel offers, however the staff were ever present and always friendly (especially Caesar)! Only recommendations would be around the rooms. I stayed in a shared dorm (2a) where the wifi was not accessible and the aircon unit didn’t work (even though it was advertised to be free after 9pm). Suffice to say there were fans in the room so the heat was manageable. Thanks for hosting me @Board2Surf

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hostel, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the staff. The service was impeccable throughout my stay, with the team always going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The atmosphere of the hostel was fantastic – it had a vibrant and welcoming vibe that made it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The common areas were cozy and inviting, perfect for socializing or simply relaxing after a day of exploring. The location couldn’t have been better. Situated in the heart of the city, it was within walking distance of all the major attractions and surrounded by great restaurants and bars. Plus, I felt extremely safe throughout my stay, thanks to the hostel’s excellent security measures. And let’s not forget about the food! The hostel’s restaurant served up delicious meals at affordable prices, making it easy to fuel up before heading out for the day. Overall, I can’t recommend this hostel enough. Whether you’re a solo traveler or in a group, this place ticks all the boxes for a memorable and enjoyable stay. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!

I was surprised to see some of the bad reviews below which were mainly about maintenance and employee issues…..the owner Brian usually has all of that under control so I would assume all it good now and if not ask to talk to him directly and he will get things for fixed for you. This is the nicest hostel in Jaco without a doubt…..ask questions before you arrive so there is no confusion. Its almost beachfront and the atmosphere is really good. Don’t hesitate to stay and if you have issue come on here and let people know and this place is too good to have issues that are easily fixable. And if any issues with surfing there are tons of surf camps all over the beach!

I booked the private ensuite, because I wanted my own bathroom. Unfortunately the shower didn’t have any hot water so I ended up having to use the public bathroom anyway. When I told the staff about the hot water, they said they would look into it, but never did. I also emailed the owner about it after I left, but he never responded. Location is unbeatable. You can watch the sun set into the ocean and hear the waves from the roofdeck. Staff is super friendly. I found that a lot of people spend multiple weeks if not months here so it seemed like there were large established friend groups of the long haulers and then a few solo traveler stragglers on the side. I would not rank it in my top hostels to make friends. Bar and restaurant were nice but the place right next door has much better food.

I’d like to warn everyone about this place!!!! They have thieves working there!! Watch your belongings and definitely DO NOT LEAVE any cash in your room while you’re gone, they will go in your room and STEAL valuables and cash! Manager(s) and even the owner will not help, their cameras are not working properly and the ones that work, all you see is blurry images. You have been warned!
