Steps away to the Colonia Playa entrance of Marino Ballena National Park with super convenient and free access to Uvita Beach before 7am. 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.

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.
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!
The best hostel I have stayed in, in Costa Rica. Great pool, really good vibes and great for meeting people. The staff were great, it’s right on the beach. they have loads of surf boards to rent - beginner and expert. Just a great fun place to be. And comfy, quiet rooms
Great location, within walking distance to the beach and the national park. Great access to the other hostels for cheap food and just a great time.
