GO there! It's amazing! We went to Costa Rica for many years and that incredible Hostel is one of the best we could recommend. The food is amazing, and well priced. The place is so clean I would give it a 6* if it was possible. The staff is amazing! We stay there for 12 nights and it was nothing but perfect. The pool is so much fun with the slide, good vibe and 10 seconds away from the beach where you can surf all day! They have such a great variety of rooms that fit all needs and budget. It's literally like and hotel but with the young spirits. Not to mention the roof top to chill and watch de sunset! The owner and manager are always on site if you need anything! STRONGLY, recommend! I felt safe and the bar was so nice it felt like paradise!

Exactly what I was looking for out of my stay! Staff was welcoming, the food and drinks at the bar were delicious, and my shared hostel room was sparkling clean. Access and parking could not have been easier, and the beach is a football kick from the property. There was also plenty of space to store my surfboards, and a work-horse to aid the prep required to set up my fins and wax accordingly. I would recommend this hostel to anyone looking to make friends while traveling. Price for the value of the stay was 12 out of 10.

This was my first solo trip and first time staying in a hostel so I wasn't sure what to expect.. This place exceeded my expectations! They set the bar extremely high for any future hostel stays I have. You are right near the beach and walkable to town but also have a great pool and restaurant right on site. The staff are great and really know how to show you a great time!! I will 10/10 be coming back. Thank you to Brian and his whole team!!

Absolutely loved this place. I’ve never stayed in a hostel before but wanted to give it a try because of how affordable it is. The place is about 10 steps from the beach, and the pool is super nice with a water slide!!! They also have an incredible rooftop with lots of hammocks and rocking chairs. You can see the ocean and enjoy a nice drink. The drinks and food at the bar were very fairly priced, and the staff were super friendly and helpful!!! They clean the entire place every morning and night. They also have an office where you can book at excursion for great deals. Highly recommend !!! I cannot wait to come back!!!

Great location, very clean! The bar staff was friendly and the food was pretty good as well. The manager Franco is great, helped me out with a situation and I can tell he really wants to do good things for the place, he’s doing the best he can with what he’s got. One of the negatives is the shared kitchen, could really use work but it was nice to have either way. Seems like best option if you’re in the area.

Our stay at Room2Board was impecable from start to finish! We traveled as a group of 26, and they seamlessly accommodated us. The hostel was clean, and the staff were awesome! We booked surf lessons with Room2Board, and the class was one of the highlights of our trip. At night, the pool bar was soooo fun. I would stay here again and recommend this place to anyone!

This was my first hostel experience and it didn’t disappoint. I had selected a private room and bathroom so there are many options available if you want to share a room or not. The staff are so helpful and fun and always in a great mood! I went on several excursions that I scheduled from Room2Board and they were all fantastic experiences. The owner, Bryan, is nice, friendly and helpful if you need suggestions to eat or places to go. The cleaning service was excellent! I had my clothes cleaned for 13 dollars and they were sparkling clean and folded. The pool was clean and nice. The top level is a must for watching the sunset and taking a nap in the hammocks. I had one of the best experiences and am so glad I chose Room2Board! I already miss it!

To be honest I have been there since the beginng R2Bs is an experience to say the least The main staff Fanco, Noel and wonderful women who run the bar ( including the two sisters who can out cook every chef in New York) always make this place unlike any Hostel in the world! Especially when it is being run by a guy who had zero experience running hotels, hostels or restaurants this place is incredible!! Brian!!!! If you look at him you would never guess he would even want to run a place like this. But he does it with such flair that I can travel around the world never experience a hostel such as R2B!!!
