This quiet friendly hostel-hotel likes to wake up early to make breakfast and enjoy every second of daylight. Its house like design and friendly staff has you feel safe and welcomed. Our Hostel-Hotel gives you everything you need to experience Costa Rica to the fullest seconds from the beach.

From the road it's impossible to see the rooms. Our design of two buildings having a breezeway between them keeps your private rooms private and the guest with plenty of socializing room. With a pool on the top deck and a restaurant/lounge with an oversized outdoor balcony serving typical local dishes for the lazy times you do not want to use the outdoor glorified camping style kitchen we give you everything you need that you wouldn't have to leave, but what fun is that!

We have one of the most beautiful beaches at our doorstep that makes you feel you are on a deserted island with a great couple of surf breaks or a river to keep you cool on those summer days. It's great for families and those who like floating on their backs without a wave coming toppling over them. The lounge has a big screen TV for your siesta of the day. We also have WIFI, surf lessons, atv rentals, canopy tours, fishing tours, airport transport, horseback riding, free parking, A/C, and 24 hour security.

Located on the main road but plenty of room between the road and the living part of the hotel. Etched out of the mountain you have jungle nearly all around you with the sounds of wildlife and the ocean that can be heard from nearly everywhere in the hotel. In between the two busiest parts of town we offer everything the town offers without all of the hustle bustle. The grocery and beach are the two closest things to the hotel with everything else, restaurants, bars, clubs being a short walk

Our hostel has an available upgrade to private rooms for nearly the same price if you have enough people 3-4. We also have clean drinkable well water. When coming to town you will hear of how much money is spent on buying bottled water. That is not the case that this hostel/hotel and could make a big difference in your trip if you are saving $5-$10-$15 a day
