bel endroit! directement sur la plage. C'est plaisant d'aller boire son café les pieds dans le sable le matin!

El mejor hostel, muy buena onda, literal pegado a la playa. Mejor imposible. Capaz lo unico a sumar es que tengo algún restaurante o algo para comprar, pero la verdad que no es necesario porque esta lleno de restaurantes muy buenos en la misma cuadra

The hostel is fine but my room smelled from a towel that was very dirty and had been left there for days. You have to give a deposit for a towel. The bathroom felt very unclean.

The power being out on my last night made travel the next day really difficult but other than that the experience was wonderful. The hostel itself was worth the money but a lot of the add ons were very pricey

Muy bien ubicado con acceso directo a la playa, pero el precio es muy elevado para las habitaciones, ya sean compartidas o privadas. Las habitaciones son muy básicas

I booked a single room with shared bathroom. The room was so small and extremely warm. There was no place to hang your clothes inside the room. The room was super simple in general. Also, the shared bathroom was quite far away and the shower really need some love and care. The shared facilities was alright and so were the staff. But my room and bathroom was for sure below the standard I would expect for that mount of money.

This is the dirtiest hostel room I’ve ever stayed in my life. Maybe other rooms were better but at least the shared room I stayed in was dirty as in not being cleaned in over a year kind of dirty. Old dust, stains, grime, and hair all over the floors, bed side shelf and especially the bathroom. It was a mission to clean myself in a room that’s already dirty. I definitely wouldn’t stay again. The best thing is the location.

Place defimitely needs some renovation! Some light not working, shower not working. Everything is run down. Staff is very nice. Can't recommend the privates, they are much smaller, have no AC, ants and there is nowhere to hang your clothes. Still a great place, just don't go if you don't like the camping-on-the-beach experience

Not worth the price at all imo, but Santa Teresa is pretty expensive in general. The best part was the direct access to the beach from backend of hostel.

Definitely one of the, if not the best hostel in Santa Teresa. As soon as you arrive, it's almost got Summer Camp vibes, it's social, with nice hanging out areas and the location right on the beach is unbeatable as is the daily yoga. The rooms were clean and the A/C was controllable in the dorm which was lovely if you're not feeling well/want to nap on the afternoon or turn it off when it's too cold at night. Only thing is the smell of wet dog almost in the entire hostel. I had a lovely stay!

Zeneidas is a lovely surfer hostel right by the beach with a mix of different accommodation options. You will also encounter families, a surf crowd as well as a yoga people. They rent surf boards, you can take lessons and there is also a yoga shala. The kitchen area is large enough for everyone.

fijn hostel, alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt! Ik sliep op een 3 persoonskamer naast de keuken dat was erg gehorig, de slaapzalen waren stiller. Er is veel ruimte om te loungen. het ligt meteen aan het strand waardoor het perfect is om meermaals per dag even die kant op te gaan. Helaas verhuren ze hier geen fietsen. Er zijn maar 2 warm water douches de andere douches buiten hebben alleen koud water en helemaal geen mogelijkheid om je spullen ergens op te hangen, zeer onpraktisch.
