Stay in the paradise where the jungle meets the sea

Everything about The Pelican House is top notch, starting and ending with the lovely human beings meeting you with open arms the minute you arrive. A few steps from the ocean, this house quickly becomes home. Comfortable. Clean. Safe. Warm.

Beautiful spot

We had a really nice stay at Pelican House. The staff is very nice and helpful. The vibes are really chill and we loved our cabin in the middle of the beautiful garden in front of the sea. Also the shared kitchen and terrace were perfect for our needs.

I’m dreaming of coming back

A bed in the heart of paradise. The staff is amazing (special thanks to Juan, he was extremely helpful and so so nice) the hostel is located in the beach and the jungle (in el valle those two things are the same thing) so cleanses and comfort is exceptional for the location meaning: align your expectations and enjoy being in the heart of nature.

Great hostel right on the beach front. Nothing fancy but extremely relaxed and chilled vibe which is what we needed after long days on tours. Comfy beds and a great open kitchen.

I loved to stay at the Pelican House Hostel! The staff were super friendly and always happy to help. The rooms are simple but clean, and I enjoyed waking up to a view of the jungle right from my bed. There are hammocks right in front of the dorms (and downstairs) where you can relax and enjoy a beautiful view of the beach and ocean — such a peaceful spot! The beach is only a one-minute walk away through the hostel’s lovely "garden"/plants. To buy some groceries to cook one can go to El Valle in 15 - 20 minutes walking. Additionally, you can book tours (like a night walk through the jungle) directly at the hostel, which I found super convenient — I didn’t have to spend time searching around, everything was arranged for me. That way, I could fully relax and enjoy my stay while reading or doing sudokus. Great vibe, amazing location, and overall just a wonderful place to stay. I’d definitely come back.

Go, it’s the best hostel

LOVED this hostel. As soon as I walked in I knew I’d love it. They’ve designed the layout of it perfectly, the bar area, kitchen area and social areas are all open making it really easy to meet people. Friendly staff and beautiful location

It was too short.b

Fantastic location with the rainforest on one side, the ocean on the other, bird song on one, waves on the other, plus many little spots on the premises to enjoy them, read a book, listen to the sounds. Very helpful, informed, efficient and engaged staff. And interesting to talk to.

A dreamlike home awarded to those who venture to its doorstep

This little oasis, tucked into the jungle of the Pacific Coast, is a gem worth visiting. From the warm greeting delivered from the staff to the comfortable living arrangements, this piece of paradise is a place I will return to again and again and again. No joke, this might be my favourite place on planet earth... and I only spent 2 nights there! I cannot wait to return.
