Located in Sámara, Casa Terra Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I loved this hostel ! It looks like a little house that you share with nice people. The staff is very sympathic, just like the other hosts. The kitchen is well equiped. The bedrooms are comfortable. The location is good : a little but far from the center (10-15min by foot) but so also far from the noise. I saw a lot of iguanas around the house. I also appreciated the decoration of the hostel, very hostful. In conclusion, I really loved this place, I totally recommand, and if I come back to Samara I'll come back here for sure ! :)

Offering an extensive garden with an outdoor lounge area, a shared living room with TV and swimming pool, Hostel La Botella de Leche is located 300 metres from Tamarindo Beach.

Hostel La Botella de Leche is 5 minutes’ walk from Tamarindo town centre and 1 hour’s drive from Daniel Oduber International Airport. The place has a great atmosphere with the pool, the living spaces and people hanging around.The hostel is neither too big or too small, the perfect balance between social/lively and quiet at night. As a solo traveler, it was easy to meet new people to chat with, to go surfing or to go out. The staff is very friendly and it was nice to arrange surfing lessons directly from the hostel (I ended up going everyday...). The surf lessons with our instructor Fifo was fun and his feedback helped me to improve a lot!
