He also helped me get a ride to the airport from one of his friends. It’s super easy to meet fellow travelers here and I met a bunch of cool people during my stay. It’s not a party hostel, but it’s still easy to find people go out with.

The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Luis is amazing. He has a generous and kind soul. The hostel was very sociable and there was a very nice sharing dynamic. We cooked a lot of meals all together. There was a lot of spices to choose from as well as cooking oil which was very nice as most costa rica hostels dont offer this. The small common areas make it super propice to socialize with people. Nice clothing line to hang clothes. I felt like at home.
