We stayed in one of the apartments on the property that is in a different building from the rest of the hostel. It is like an efficiency, with a small kitchen (with microwave, mini fridge, counter top range, pots/pans, etc), bathroom with hot water, large bedroom with TV, and a porch that has been enveloped into the main room and...

We paid $50 a night for the 'delux' appartment, so we weren't expecting much. The good points - the room was lovely and big and the views were beautiful. We did feel there should be some mention of the winds on the website as they are very loud and the shaking and rattling of windows makes it quite difficuult to... More

If i knew what to look forward to, maybe I wouldn't be so disappointed- but in their website they sell themselves as a hotel- when they are anything but that. We booked through the web site a package for 3 night, prepaying 20% of the price online. The first problem was with paying, as soon as we got there they... More

First of all the breakfast is amazing, the kitchen was really nice and the rooms where very "hotel like". The location is pretty good although most hostels in Santa Elena are situated out side the center but it is a two min walk. Over all great value for ur money! Don't miss out! P.s they never stop cleaning there it... More

After travelling 3 weeks in Costa Rica, we finally came to an agreement - this hotel was the best budget place we have been. Clean, cosy, cheap and there is a great view from the cuisine. Enjoy! More

Extremely helpful staff, I'm talking i lost my hair tie swimming in the ocean a few days prior and the gentleman who works the front desk literally ran to his house in the rain to get me one! It was pouring down rain the two days we were there and had there not been such a beautiful view from the... More

Best velue for money by far... we had a double bed room, the price was the avarage price in Costa-rica but the quality was far more than the avarage. Very highly invested rooms, hot water in shower, clean and equipped kitchen . Great smiley service! More

We ended up at this hotel after being confronted by serveral vendors after stepping off the night bus. We were tired and travel weary and the woman we encountered kept haggling the price until we agreed to go with her. We ended up in the bottom floor apartment which was more space than we needed but had its own kitchen,... More
