“Best way to end my holiday”
An incredibly well designed "experience". What I mean by that is yes you have the very affordable accommodations, but Onda also has an amazing restaurant, bar, entertainment area, and pool. They do everything for surfing from rentals to lessons, as well as book other tours and rentals. As a budget traveler myself (as well as having an injury), I didn't partake, but I know it's a place I will return to once my injury heals. The beds had pillow top comforters and an ample supply of fluffy pillows. They give you THREE towels, for shower, face, and the beach. The breakfast each morning was amazing. If you're not a surfer, there are still lots that you can do. Beautiful beaches, the estuary, as well Tamarindo and other places nearby and accessible. If you want to keep your stay affordable, you can get some groceries somewhere like Huacas before getting an Uber or taxi to Playa Grande. Also, go out and watch the sunset with everyone in town it's a beautiful experience!

We loved this hotel for the fun, youthful vibe and the sense of community you feel when staying here. Little things like the communal breakfast and the mix of private and dorm rooms means that travellers of all different walks of life get to mingle. The surfing lessons shop, the bar, the pool and the open spaces also skew the hotel guests toward younger and more active. We would highly recommend Onda!

“Great place, location and staff”
This is a great place to stay. The location is perfect. Very close to the beach, the facilities are beautiful. Emma is an unbelievable staff member who went out of his way to ensure we were happy and well taken care of. He made sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. The "family" breakfast we had included in our stay was amazing and a great way to meet new people.
