Pura Vida Hostel, hotel in Montezuma

Located in Montezuma and with Montezuma Beach reachable within a few steps, Pura Vida Hostel provides concierge services, rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

Very comfortable and convenient spot, love having breakfast incl. & the communal kitchen. Altho a very busy town, it was pretty quiet as rooms are centered around a courtyard. The young lady at the desk, Georgie, was super sweet & helpful.

The Cafecito Surfhouse - Santa Teresa, hotel in Santa Teresa Beach

The Cafecito Surfhouse - Santa Teresa is located in Santa Teresa Beach, a 6-minute walk from Santa Teresa Beach and 0.6 miles from Carmen Beach.

The hosts Chelsea and Lenin were amazing. Some things about Costa Rica are hard like figuring out phone service or sending packages and they helped me with those things. Lenin’s mother came one night and made us a home cooked Costa Rican dinner, so yummy. They took us one doy out on an adventure on the ATV’s over the beach and threw the woods to a jungle bar. This is a cute little bungalow just steps from the beach which was well built and is well kept. There is a gate so it is secure. I don’t serf but I overheard Lenin teaching his students and he is an awesome teacher. Santa Teresa has the best sunsets! The Santa Teresa beach is beautiful with nice coves and I hear the waves are excellent. It is a walkable town with grocery stores and nice restaurants either way you turn on the main street.

    Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

    The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

    simply the best hostel I’ve ever been in my life, once there you don’t want to leave. The hostel is in a perfect position, 5 min walking from the center of Montezuma so it’s super calm and fresher at night. it’s really immersed in the jungle so you can see iguanas and monkeys from the windows but still it has very good mosquito nets. the dorms are comfy and there are enough bathrooms for all guests. The breakfast is super to start your day.

    The shared kitchen facilities were clean and well equipped. There are plenty of tables and comfy cushions as well as a few hammocks to relax in. Get to see the monkeys and iguanas in the trees right outside the hostel. There was a safe in our room.

    The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
