The people were great, easy to meet new people and the layout of little houses made it feel like there was lots of space and privacy at the same time. Loved seeing hummingbirds out the window all day. Great surf lessons organised by the hostel, which were also much cheaper than others in town. Easy walking distance to lots of food options and supermarkets and a 3 min walk to the beach. Well equipped kitchens, which would get cleaned everyday and the showers had warm water. I felt very safe and welcomed as a solo traveller.
I enjoyed my time at Surf Paradise so much that I extended my stay to a full month. The location was perfect, 2 minutes walk from the beach and close to a range of cafes and restaurants. The hostel itself felt safe and comfortable and had really chill vibes, plus the staff were lovely people who were great to hang out with. The rooms were basic but clean and had A/C. If I'm ever back in Santa Teresa I will book this place again without hesitation.
Great location! Spacious, safe and parking garage with gate.
the staff were a pleasure and very helpful always smiling and ready with knowledge to help.Your own room with a double bed for the price of a bunk bed in other hostels is a pleasure for budget travellers .l look forward to my return there one day soon l think
Amazing place! Staff extremely kind and available, they helped us with literally every needs. The hostel is at walking distance from everything and the area is super safe. The best option for the cheapest price in the area! It was a very pleasant surprise.
