This place has a great little pool and lounge area, nice little kitchen or a restaurant if you don´t feel like cooking. It´s got a bit of a party vibe so if that´s what you´re looking for this is perfect. Located in a relatively quiet area of town, within walking distance to the center. More

I don't know where to start... We were a little hesitant at the idea of staying in a 'backpackers' in Central America, but after reading reviews of Costa Rica Backpackers we decided it sounded reasonable.
