Pura Vida Mini Hostel Santa Teresa, hotel in Santa Teresa Beach

Mini Hostel Santa Teresa is located 100 metres from the surf break and beach in Santa Teresa.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Pura Vida Mini Hostel. It’s called Mini but it’s quite big. It has two kitchens full prepared and clean so that you can cook everything you want. There’s also a lot of common areas where you can socialize with other guests or with the volunteers (which are always welcoming you🤩). Also the rooms are clean. It’s a perfect place for surfing if you want waves everyday and a spot at 2 min walk from the hostel (just cross the road and you are there).🤙🏽❤️

Alouatta Playa Coyote, hotel in Santa Teresa Beach

Set in San Francisco, 38 km from Montezuma Waterfal, Alouatta Playa Coyote offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar.

It felt so good to sleep in such a comfortable bed but in a tent - right in the middle of nature. You could gaze at the stars at night time and hear all of the beautiful nature around you. Misha and Jen are wonderful, friendly hosts who made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast (and conversation) were very much enjoyed :-) Thank you!

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.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was a 10 from the incredibly comfortable beds to the very cool rooms. We stayed in the mobile home and it is very spacious with loads of storage and a nice seating area and toilet. Kitchen was big open air and fairly well equipped. Nice social area. Right on a great beach and walking distance to most cafes. The best staff of any property I’ve ever stayed in. Mica and all the other reception staff sorted out any type of inquiry or problem the fastest I’ve seen.

    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.

    ICO Living is a tasteful, small Hostel, that creates a very homey and safe atmosphere. The Hostel is cleaned everyday and at the most perfect location in Santa Teresa (very close to the beach and everything you might need). Traveling by myself, my stay at ICO Living was especially impacted by the wonderful people that work there. Being welcomed and included with open arms and care made my stay very memorable and if you plan on going to Santa Teresa, I can wholeheartedly recommend ICO Living. 🧡

    The ‘beach house’ is definitely something you wouldn’t typically find in a hostel and has possibly one of the best locations in Santa Teresa. Highly recommended to get assigned a room there as it feels more like an independent ‘airbnb’ and one of my best hostel experiences ever

    A clean hostel. The owner is really interested in offering a good stay for the guests. Rents surf boards for a cheap price.

    Marco was very nice and helpful. The beds are amazing (double sized bunk beds) and were very clean. Very chill but still social vibe. Across from Selina North and close to the best surf beach of Santa Teresa. I visited when it was very new so a few things missed but I think these things will soon come! Till now one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far!!

    The hostel felt like home. The communal outdoor kitchen was a great place to gather, have a laugh, and share some drinks. I would recommend the surf lessons a 100%. You can tell, Marcus is very passionate as well as all the other instructors (Ruddy, Luis, Oscar). They made us feel safe and have a wonderful time. I only booked to nights, but ended up staying for 9 days! I would fully recommend the Hostel,especially for Backpackers, as you will meet many wonderful travelers in the dorm. Also the price-performance ratio is unbeatable.
