Pros:

Very nice! Location is great and they have yoga every day. Pool is fine, it only has sun from 12-14hs. Rooms were comfy.

Cons:

The mixed dorm that I stayed was above the hostel kitchen and during the mornings was very noisy.

Pros:

Viajé sola. Me sentí súper cómoda y segura. El personal un amor, la chica de recepción, Vicky y Mar divinas. La ubicación un 10, a metros de la playa. Compartí habitación y muy cómoda. Me parece ideal si viajas solo o con grupo de amigos.

A good cost-benefit
Pros:

The lodge is well located, close to restaurants and bars and just a 3 minute walk from Santa Teresa Beach and a 10minute drive from Carmen and Hermosa. It was nice to have a small kitchen inside the apartment so we could prepare ou own breakfast.

Cons:

The AC was small for the room size, so it was quite warm most of the time. Also, we found dozens of crabs inside the room. They just kept coming inside and we don’t know from where since we left all doors closed.

Probablement bien pour le yoga , mais pas idéal comparé à d'autres établissements
Pros:

Personnel accueillant, cours de yoga proposés. Bon petit déjeuner .

Cons:

La chambre n'est pas confortable, le mobilier est abîmé , mais nous avions l'entrée de gamme.
La salle de bain qui devait être privée était partagée avec la chambre voisine, la douche était brûlante et faisait un jet sous très forte pression.

Ótimo lugar para conhecer Santa Teresa, estar perto da natureza e conhecer pessoas.
Pros:

O Hostel é muito bem localizado, e o staff muito simpático e prestativo. O ambiente é muito agradável, as instalações bem cuidadas, recomendamos muito este Hostel.

Cons:

Tivemos que mudar de quarto no meio da estadia, pois o ar condicionado parou de funcionar. De toda forma, todos foram muito rápidos na mudança, de forma que não impactou em nada nossa estadia.

Buen lugar con la mejor playa y puestas de sol a metros!
Pros:

Son muy bonitas el área común, la piscina y la sala de yoga. Me gustó que tenga horario de silencio para respetar el descanso de todos, esto es un plus súper importante y se agradece totalmente. Me gusto la amplitud de las instalaciones en general y sobre todo lo cercanía de la playa con la hermosa puesta de sol.
Agradecer a l voluntaria Marion quién es un sol y me facilitó una mantita para el frío durante la noche, muy atenta ella.

Cons:

La foto de la pieza mixta se se muestra es mucho más iluminada y espaciosa de lo que en verdad es. Es muy oscura y la puerta suena muy fuerte. Por otro lado quedaron de enviarme información de un arriendo en moto y nunca pasó 😅 pero es lo de menos

Pros:

Para un viaje sola + 30 años está genial, buscaba tranquilidad , limpieza , escuchar la naturaleza , súper relajado!!! No es Hostel si estás buscando joda, que era lo que no quería

Cons:

Recepción no te asesora ni te cuenta nada cuando llegas, no te dice qué lugares hay cerca, que se puede alquilar para recorrer, no te unen a un grupo de Whatsap para ver si otros están en la misma situación, falta más inclusión que generen o mismo más simpatía, muy frías las que atienden , el resto excelente

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

There was a water dispenser

Cons:

Staff was very rude - we got in at 1pm, they very rudely said check in is at 2pm. Then when we got to check in they were incredibly rude and seemed annoyed we were making the do work. We got given a list of fines - btw we were in the hotel part of the lodge not the hostel, we didn’t realise it would feel like a hostel basically. One of the rules was not to leave towel on the floor, fine, there was a laundry bin, you’d assume you’d get new towels if you put it in there - you won’t. Then I asked for a taxi number to go to playa Hermosa and asked if the wait for taxis is long (maybe there’s a shortage of taxis idk) and the receptionist was like I don’t know and kinda laughed at me for asking - I wanted to know if it would be like a 5 min wait or 50 but okay.

The rooms were dirty and dated, towels didn’t feel clean.

Also when we were it was some period when all the crabs come out after sunset - a mention of that would’ve been useful. It was pretty scary finding three crabs lurking in our room and in our suitcases. We got them out and blocked all gaps using plastic bags but felt on edge the entire time and could hear the crabs hitting the metal door which kept waking us up.

Pros:

Zimmer und Klimaanlage und Pool.

Cons:

Die Preise für z.B. das Frühstück fanden wir total überteuert. Knapp 10€ für 2 Eier und 1 Toast ist crazy.

Oasis tropicale parfaite pour apprendre à surfer
Pros:

La combinaison de tout les espaces et services est simplement magique, l’espace cafe/déjeuner, le deck pour yoga, la piscine, la cuisine ouverte et le personnel ultra sympathique ont rendu mon expérience magique ✨

Nice place, great staff, but needs a good deep clean in the room.
Pros:

Decent place, nice staff and good facilities.

Cons:

It really needs a deep clean. Seems like the cleanliness was surface level, and it needed more attention than that. OUr shower drain was clogged and the floor in the bathroom just needs a proper scrub. Overall it's fine, I would stay again cuz I'm not that worried about it, but if you're a clean freak I wouldn't recommend.

Okay, aber nicht so wie auf den Bildern.
Pros:

Der Gemeinschaftsbereich, der Pool und das Yoga-Deck sind definitiv das Highlight der Unterkunft.
Meine gebuchte Yoga Class war toll!

Cons:

Die Zimmer und verfügbaren zwei Bäder waren nicht sehr sauber. Meine Matratze war so hart, dass ich nachts mehrmals aufgewacht bin.
Obwohl mein Bett schon um 12:00 frei und geputzt war, durfte ich erst um 14:00 einchecken.
