Our take

I recommend Casa Pura Vida Surf Hostel to budget travelers, surfers and families who want a relaxed, social stay close to the beach. The mix of dorms and private rooms gives flexibility, and the shared kitchen is a good way to save money. It is not a luxury resort, so anyone expecting hotel-style service should look elsewhere. It delivers a friendly, unpretentious stay, and the 8.6 rating from 397 reviews backs that up.

  • ✓Take advantage of the shared kitchen and BBQ to save on dining costs during your stay.
  • ✓Spend your afternoons by the outdoor pool, it's a great spot to relax after a morning surf.
  • ✓If you're traveling with family, consider booking a private room for more comfort and space.
