Garsh, I LOVED it all! When I travel, I like to travel slow and find a place that feels like home. And boy, did La Palapa Nature Hut Hostel do exactly that. Jackie, the owner, is so kind. I really felt like she had my back. Everyone working there is above and beyond. The stay is so comfortable with all of the fauna and openness of the courtyard. I stayed in the dorm with air conditioning and that was def the move. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. You can see parrots in the day time and sloths at night. I 100% recommend staying here. La Palapa will forever be in my treasured memories and heart. Thank you!!!!!

Bolita is an absolute slice of paradise !!! Ron the owner and the staff are friendly, helpful and really want you to be as comfortable as possible. If you want to see wildlife , then this is the place to visit. The well signed trails are great some leading to waterfalls and to unbelievable views over breathtaking landscapes. The rooms are simple but effective in immersing you into nature.

Amazing hostel in Pavones, perfect for surfing as it's literally 3 minutes walk from the main surfspot. Comfortable dorms and great kitchen, super well equipped! Charlie was super helpful and gave me great advice to always chose the right board (he has a very good selection of boards to rent). Last but not least, the vibe at Esperanza was great, I really felt at home there!

The location was fairly quiet as there wasn't much road traffic going by. There was AC and the shower had hot water, which my wife loved. The kitchen was an ample size and had everything we needed; even Tupperware to keep our extra food so we didn't leave it in the pans. The rooms didn't feel cramped and had shelf space to put our things. The beds we're comfy and the towels were soft. The covered common area outside the kitchen was a great place to eat and for my wife to work. We would stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
