I recently went to Don Jon's and it was awesome! I highly recommend staying in what we called Ewok Village, they are beautiful rooms built out of teak wood. Lovely hammocks you can lounge in during the hot parts of the day and relax. It's so close to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on. Another... More

This place has become a favourite destination forme and my friends. A friendly and relaxing environment, to experience central america at its best! Just a short walk to the beautiful beach, and prestine surf! Its alsways the highlight of my year when I can get to visit Santa Teresa.

It took me long to comment on this wonderful hostel, 'cause usually I'm not the one who judges on hostels. If I have made a bad experience, I forget the place quickly and if it was a really good one, I don't want the place to get too crowded. But Don Jon's place really deserved a positive comment, because his... More

Traveling is a unique challenge. Especially when you find the absolute ideal destination at the very beginning of your trip! In January I set out to travel Costa Rica and the rest of Central America (money permitting). My first stop was Don Jons.

I went to Santa Theresa for the first time in Feb and had no idea what to expect... aside from great beaches! My 2 friends and I stayed at Don Jon's and were blown away by the customer service, clean rooms and food. We even got to switch rooms when we realized we wanted to be higher up in the... More

Don John's is located close to the beach access and market. I have spent over 6 months in costa rica, mostly on the Pacific coast surfing and meeting new friends. Santa Teresa is a chill town that embodies the true meaning of pura vida, the best surf for all levels from beginner to advanced. there life is simple enough to... More

This is a cool lil place with really good value for your buck. Dorms have aircon a fridge and the beds are above average. The people running this place are friendly and helpful. The security guard at night, on the other hand, was a huge downer and I'm pretty sure he stole someone's wallet while I was staying there. I... More
