Don Jons Surf & Yoga Lodge
Budget-friendly surf and yoga classes in a garden guesthouse
About this stay
Don Jons pairs a 4-star rating with genuinely simple accommodations, leaning on its garden setting and its surf-and-yoga class program rather than styled rooms as the main draw, nine minutes' walk from Santa Teresa Beach and one minute from Soda el artesano Santa Teresa for lunch. Kitchens in some rooms support self-catering for longer stays, and the 26-minute Cobano airport shuttle keeps transfers reasonable for guests coming and going. Accessible rooms are also available for travelers who need them. The overall pace here suits travelers who plan loosely day to day rather than around a fixed list of hotel activities. Nothing about the property is flashy, which fits a coast that has largely stayed outside Costa Rica's bigger resort corridors.
- Surf and yoga classes
- Garden setting
- Budget-friendly rates
Our take
I recommend Don Jons to surfers and yoga travelers on a budget who want classes on site and a garden to rest in, nine minutes on foot from Santa Teresa Beach. Free WiFi, free parking and an airport shuttle cover the practical side. The rooms are simple, and if you want to step straight onto the sand I would book closer to the beach.
- ✓Sign up for a surf or yoga class on arrival, slots fill fast during peak weeks around Santa Teresa itself
- ✓Walk to Soda el artesano Santa Teresa for a one-minute lunch between sessions when hunger strikes midday
- ✓Book a kitchen-equipped room if available, it keeps a budget stay genuinely budget over a longer stretch
