11/10 It felt like home! Definitely stay here !!
Pros: I cannot say enough good things about this place, and will for sure be back here when I'm in the area. It's family owned & run, and I felt so at home here. It was such a great place that attracted great guests as well. I felt extremely comfortable and taken care of here. It's a great spot and has everything you need for an incredible price. I work remotely, and was able to very comfortably work here as well which was really nice. The location is perfect as well. Right an access road to the beach, and in the middle of everything. That being said, the rooms are set back enough from the main road where it's not too loud for a sensitive sleeper like me! Great yoga classes here as well. Finally, coffee and a nice little breakfast was served daily, which was a cherry on top. 11/10 Recommend !!! Thank you Don Jon's! See you soon.

Best stay in Santa Teresa
Pros: Surely the best place to stay in Santa Teresa - My third time there in this hostel over 6 years - love the vibe, staff, travellers, common area is very chilled and super relaxing, I stayed in dorms and it was comfy, best value for money here. Fridge , individual lockers and shelf is definitely good to have

The perfect little hostel to relax and enjoy the chilled vibe in Santa Teresa
Pros: Everything was so over the top! I booked a three bed room with my friends and we loved it! It was spacious, with a private clean bathroom (with only cold water, but since the heat we honestly didn’t mind). The atmosphere of the hostel was unique, we were surrounded by nature and it was really peaceful. I also took a yoga class for 13$ and it was absolutely worth it. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook for ourselves several times. Not a party hostel and we loved the chill vibe. The position is perfect and the beach is literally 5 mins away!! We’re very happy about everything and would love to be back one day!!
Cons: noooothing

Awesome wooden lodges and a great place to stay, recommended for surfers and everybody else.
Pros: Yoga was awesome, great sessions all day long. Nice wooden lodges just a few footsteps away from the best waves we had in Costa Rica. Nice stuff, always helpful…
Cons: The breakfast isn‘t too great, but there is plenty of coffee and tea available.

Pros: Staff were very friendly. You can chill in the hostel whole day, lots of hammocks, coffee in the morning, yoga classes... İt is very close to the beach as well.
Cons: If they provide towels as well, it would be better, because it is not easy to get yours dry due to the humidity.

Bring usd, but otherwise good value for money
Pros: we stayed in the tree house, cute little setting. basic bathroom, but overall fairly comfortable and the location is really good, very central and close to the entrance to the beach. there was a fridge in the room and a fan, a hammock outside, can’t complain. yoga class was awesome!
Cons: the hotel charges cash only, but the conversion of usd to colones feels like a bit of a rip off. for the amount we had to pay we lost about 30$ only due to their bad conversion, seems like they’re a little too much after our money, even for the shuttle they organized they had a surcharge - and that on top of the conversion! so I suggest you bring usd with you. we had to rent towels and they were never changed once, there are no toiletries in the room, at least shower gel or soap would be nice. they have surf boards, but they don’t rent them out unless you book a class. the instructor was another story, but the worst was when they say they’ll tell you when to meet, but they ghosted me on the last day saying later in the evening the waves weren’t good.
