Dream Surf House Avellana

Excellent

Pros: Incredible surf house with an amazing team. Costa Rica can feel overpriced when traveling solo, but this is a place where your money actually delivers real value—top-tier service, delicious food, and great accommodation. I’d stay here again without hesitation if I return to Costa Rica.

Best little surf house in Costa Rica

Pros: One of the cosiest and loveliest surf houses we’ve been. Amazing location, great kitchen with tasty food, lovely people and nice area. Great staff and comfortable beds. Cute dog and child friendly. We love it

Cons: Nothing. Perhaps not easy to reach without a car. But we had one. So perfect location

Pros: Joaco the manager is a great host and the staff are very kind. The spot is not too far from the beach and local surf areas, a small quiet town which was great.

Cons: Could of used hot showers for the dorms but after surfing it wasn't a big deal.

Pros: Very friendly staff and very helpful, clean facilities and very delicious breakfast

Cons: Not staying longer

Pura Vida!

Pros: Very nice, modern and clean with a lot of good people.

Dream

Pros: La disponibilidad de la piscina, y la ubicación, super cerca a playa Avellanas.

Pros: very good filling breakfast included. Everyone from the owner, manager and the volunteers were so sick just hanging out, surfing, and helping make sure we had a great stay. the included shuttle to take people to surf/beach/restaurants or anywhere in town was clutch. ive never seen a hostel provide a free shuttle around town. ive stayed in dozens of hostels from Nicaragua-Bolivia-Morocco-Bulgaria and this was one of the best ive stayed at honestly

Cons: only thing is you can't cook there. everything else blew my expectations out of the water. go to gregorios or manantial for dinner. cheapest and best local food in avellanas

Good vibes, high stoke, fun time :)

Pros: I had a great stay! The staff was helpful and cheerful. Everything on campus was reasonable priced and delicious. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I noticed the stuff would switching pillow covers, patching float's in the pool, and general cleaning when groups go out for 6am surf. The volunteers were fun, will versed in the area and wanted everyone to feel included and have a good time.

Cons: The ONLY THING. There’s a dog and a cat on campus, I had to ask the cat didn’t come into the bunk room because I’m allergic. It never came back in the room and wasn’t a problem. I love dogs and was happy to play with the dog during down time.

Pros: El trato de las personas del lugar. Las instalaciones son lindas y cómodas.

Lugar tranquilo, buen desayuno para un tico.

Pros: Es un ambiente muy bonito, el desayuno formidable y te dejan usar el parqueo de un hotel que queda cerca de la playa. Cuenta con piscina y un lugar para hacer yoga pero no los usamos... El desayuno estaba bueno para un tico pero creo que para un extranjero no tanto.

Cons: Solo que le falta un poquito de mantenimiento. El baño olía un poquito mal.
