The place is very nice, swimmingpool, Chillout Zone,...and the most important thing is the good energy that you can feel there thanks to the Staff. ##### MARIA ISABEL Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lincoln Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really liked staying there, met some really cool people, i was in a private room and nothing ever stolen but someone did say their airpods were stolen and they were in the shared rooms. excellent stay overall very clean and very friendly and helpful staff ##### Lincoln Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities My wife and I had a lovely week at Pure Vida while learning to surf. Having the pool was a nice touch for a hostel. Staff kept the place clean, but there is your typical “tropical” buds/lizards etc around all the time.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was really relaxed and the location was perfect. Highly recommend a stay here. Perhaps a little sign up warning tourists of the pickpockets in the town would be a good idea. Telephones are stolen every weekend, ours included. ##### Lee Anne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Srinivasa Reddy Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good hostel It is a very nice eco friendly hostel with swimming pool and pool table.

I love this hostel if I were to go back to Tamarindo I will definitely be going back! The staff were amazing and super friendly (shoutout to Lucas!) It felt like family and was a great place to socialize and hang out with other people staying at the hostel. They have plenty of rooms and bathrooms and a big kitchen to cook. It’s cleaned throughout the day and is kept very nice. Highly recommend! ##### Gregory ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed with our kids ages 6 and 9. We were the only ones there with kids, but it was great and the kids loved the fireball and jenga. Safe. Well equipped kitchen. Pool to cool off in that the kids enjoyed. Bunk beds were super comfortable. Quiet time is at 11pm but kitchen closed at 10 so it was quiet enough at 10pm. Bathroom situation wasn’t ideal, but it’s a hostel. Close to a small grocery store, super close to the beach, affordable. The highlight was the surfing lessons. Julien was great! but Helena who gave both our kids multiple lessons was such a gem, we will always have great memories of our stay! ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernanda Jan 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Buena ubicación ##### Fernanda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Nov 11, 2024 Perfecto ##### Patrick Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward May 29, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Management was good.

Men jag hade definitivt åkt tillbaka. ##### Thea Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay near the beach The place is very close to the beach and town but on a qùiet road. The kitchen was large with plenty of space to work. The staff is very helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian Jul 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic place Excellent, super quiet and private, walking distance for all the facilities, just what we were was looking for a nightover.

They were friendly, knowledgeable and spoke several languages (English, Spanish +). The property allows for both private, quite spaces and communal areas. Very close to the beach and great value. ##### David Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Emplacement , propreté de la cuisine , Malheureusement l'air climatiser à $5.00 US la nuit en extra alors qu'il fait 34 ! Pas d'eau chaude ! Le forfait tortues plus cher à $45.00 au lieu de $25.00 ailleurs! Le lit et oreiller assé date , la fan déficiente et sale ! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I liked the music the staff played after 6:00. It was old school rock and roll. Gave the atmosphere a good vibe instead of the usual tech drumming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information) > > [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
