Situated in Liberia, 38 km from Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, Hostel El Pretal features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 800 metres from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium. The hostel is ran by a family who literally take care of you as if you are their family! The best hostel I have stayed in Costa Rica by far! . The location, rooms and facilities were a great place to hangout and chill with other travellers. There was hot showers, a fully fitted kitchen for communal use and the atmosphere was peaceful for a good nights sleep. Perfect location to visit Rincon De La Viejo. I also received free laundry and the kindness overall by the family was beyond words. I will always be eternally grateful for the hospitality thank you .

Situated in Tamarindo, 500 metres from Tamarindo Beach, TamaHostel & Glamping features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The king room was a huge separate building and one of the comfiest beds ever. Tons of space. The pool was so refreshing, I saw tons of birds and iguana. The people were really friendly, and the kitchen had what you need to cook + some coffee in the morning. I appreciated that it was a little out of the way of the busy part of town, ~a 10 minute walk from the main stuff in town

Set in Hacienda Santa María, 23.7 km from Miravalles Volcano, Santa Maria Volcano Lodge Hotel & Restaurante offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The genuine kindness of our hosts was really moving.... Letting us taste different types of juices...helping us to plan our visit to the volcano areas and helping our son who had a skinburn on his arms. The lodge itself is very authentic. The garden benefits from more than 40 years of carefully maintenance with lots of love..with flowers and trees you think you find yourself in a botanical garden. Hummingbirds are flying around your head during breakfast. And finally...the food was gorgeous...homegrown vegetables and fruits and produces such as ricotta cheese..very royal quantities...your own grand mother would not have spoiled you so well. Thanks for the lovely stay and memory

The hostel offers a barbecue. Wonderful Hostel! It really made us feel like home. All the staff is so friendly that you feel living in a big family home. The rooms are confortable and easy to sleep with AC. The kitchen is always lively and we loved to cook there. The hostel is so close to the beach, like 5min walk, and also close to market, the bus stop and restaurants while been in a quiet area to relax. There is surf lessons offered and Mati is an amazing teacher, so knowledgeable about the sea and how to teach the proper position on the board. Really recomended! We stayed for 12 data hoping it could be more.
