Safely able to stroll the beach at 5:30am and walk the Whale's Tail at low tide. At daybreak, thoroughly appreciated the immensity of the expanded beach and sandbar. Had the park, with the company of birds, the waves, and crabs basically all to myself, except for another person, way at a distance. Many tall trees around the hostel, with howling monkeys as alarm clocks. Saw sloth for two days.

The location was fairly quiet as there wasn't much road traffic going by. There was AC and the shower had hot water, which my wife loved. The kitchen was an ample size and had everything we needed; even Tupperware to keep our extra food so we didn't leave it in the pans. The rooms didn't feel cramped and had shelf space to put our things. The beds we're comfy and the towels were soft. The covered common area outside the kitchen was a great place to eat and for my wife to work. We would stay here again.

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.
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! The staff were friendly and helpful and helped with activities. The food was amazing, lovely rooms and a nice common area to lounge in by the fire.
It's a great hostel with a pool by the beach, you have everything you need, we also had some salsa class, they have nice drinks at the bar, rooms are clean, they Include a washroom with shower, I was happy to choose this place, I met new people :)
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.
Apparently we got an upgrade on the room so I'd be worried about what the others looked like. The room was clean but very basic. The furniture was cheap, wardrobe were plastic etc and we had to change room as the bed was broken. If you are traveling on a budget I'd imagine this place is better than a hostel but I wish we had paid more and stayed else where as I was expecting better from what the other reviews had said.
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!!
OMG it’s the best hostel I’ve been after years of traveling solo… chill vibes, nice staffs, great location and great amenities! The fact that it’s surrounded by nature makes it even more interesting!
best hostel I have stayed in , in Costa Rica. great fun, for meeting people, great pool, rooftop and good vibes
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.
One of the best hostels ive been at (and I've been backpacking for more than 2 years in total) * Very clean * Spacious rooms (We had tripple room with private WC since it was so cheap) * infinate Hot water in the shower! * Homemade breakfast by the lovely family who own the place * Very comvenient location * Comfortable beds (slightly on the harder side which I like) * Super-helpfull staff with destinations, transport and info about the area
