Great location only a few steps from the beach. I arrived for a short trip on a week day so I had a 4 bed room dormitory for myself which was very convenient. Kind staff and clean room.

“Nice place to explore Jacó Beach”
Friendly staff, very close to the beach, you can have surf classes and also rent a board to practice, and also you can buy pictures of you surfing. There´s a very good coworking space, elevator, restaurant, bar and swimming pool. The place is quiet during the night, good to sleep. There are other restaurants near.

“Great Hostel”
This is a great hostel that feels more like a hotel. The staff are experienced and the beds are very comfortable, although having a few more plug sockets near the beds would be helpful. The bathroom facilities and kitchen are all very clean. There are hammocks on the rooftop, plus food and drinks available, as well as a pool. It’s also just a 15-minute walk into town. What more could you ask for?

“Hostel vibe with hotel facilities”
We had a private room for 2 with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was shared with only 1 other room. Bathroom cleaned daily. Swimming pool, bar with drinks and food. Good atmosphere. Really close to the beach and direct access to the beach. Shops, bars and restaurants nearby. Parking area next to it.
