Pura Vida MINI Hostel - Santa Teresa

Super nice hostel. Didnt seem super social but the facilities themselves are great and kept clean. Bed was comfy, also has parking for atvs which was nice

This hostel is very nice. Clean, atmosphere is very friendly with people from all over the world, beds are very nice. 1 room had AC, everything was in order with no problems. Good prices too.

- bekiffter Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption - Zimmer war eine Holzhütte mit Spalten in den Wänden und in der Tür, wenig vertrauenserweckendes Schloss zur Verriegelung der Tür, Bettwäsche aus Omas Kleiderschrank und nicht sauber, Handtücher gegen Aufpreis, Tiere im Zimmer - Wer in ein Hippie Hostel möchte, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse - Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - unverhältnismäßig - viel zu teuer

Je n'ai pas été conquise par cette auberge. La piscine est très sympa, les espaces communs assez spacieux pour être au calme quand nécessaire, et c'est globalement propre. Mais sinon, le rapport qualité/prix pour moi n'y ai pas comparé à plein d'autres auberges qu'on a fait au Costa Rica. Pas de café le matin comme annoncé (et pas de cafetière), cuisines communes rudimentaires, pas de clim. Je n'ai juste pas eu la "vibe". 🤷‍♀️

the best hostel we stayed at in Costa Rica. everything you need, great atmosphere & a step away from the beach

Bunch of bugs in the rooms, double-booking peoples beds, no social events, and over 25 min walk from anything worth going to. Just stay at lost boys or ESO. Thank me later

I would’nt stay here again. We could’nt sleep for the entire stay because of the s***** beds in the dorms. Every time the person below me moved the whole bed moved. Really loud aswell. Not very clean. Nice common area. Nice location near beach.

Hostelet var väldigt mysigt uppbyggt och ett stort plus var att det fanns två stycken kök och en pool. Vi bodde i privat rum med eget badrum och hade uppskattat om det hade städats iaf en gång under vår 5 nätters långa vistelse. Personalen var väldigt hjälpsam och trevlig!

I've had one of my best hostel experiences at Pura Vida mini hostel! The location is perfect, a couple minutes walking from the beach but also away from the road so you won't be bothered in your sleep. The common area with the pool and outdoor kitchen creates a very social interactive setting, while there is also a small kitchen on the other side if you want less people around you. Furthermore the vibe is amazing, the volunteers who work there really know how to make you feel at home!

Really fun and social hostel, the staff and volunteers were all brilliant and super helpful. I stayed for 6 nights and did not want to leave. Can't wait to be back.

Mangobaum war super :)

A nice friendly hostel, good pool and common areas. Perfect for a trip to Santa Teresa.

Hostel had a good vibe. Staff was very friendly. The pool was clean. pool table needs a little bit of love and upgrade😀 location is located to the beach which is nice, but a little bit far from the centre. Supermarkets are really close had a really good time there.

Die Lage ist super, leider super viele Ameisen in den Zimmern.

Todo muy bien, servicios impecables, staff muy amable y un ambiente muy acogedor! Hostal favorito por seguro 😍

Super hostel, confortable avec plein d’espaces différents pour être avec du monde ou au calme, une piscine et une table de billard en libre service. Le personnel est adorable, l’emplacement est parfait, plage, commerces et restaurant à proximité !! Pura vida !

I absolutely loved this place! The staff is really adorable and helpful, the pool and chilling areas are great! Very close to the beach and the supermarkets. I’m already missing this place! Would definitely recommend and come back!!

Probably my favourite hostel I've stayed in! The vibes were so on point, the location was perfect (5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to town), and everyone was so friendly.

Als wir hier waren, war das Hostel leider eher leer, weshalb wir es als nicht so sozial wahrgenommen haben und es gibt auch leider keine sozialen Aktivitäten von Hostel aus. Die Einrichtung und der Außenbereich war aber sehr schön und auch sauber; es gibt aber keine Vorhänge. Nach Santa Theresa läuft man leider 20-30 min, aber der Strand direkt vor dem Hostel ist sehr viel leerer als der in Santa Theresa. Hier kommt es darauf an, was man will…

A very nice hostel if you are after a mix of relaxation and socialising, the staff were amazing and very friendly offering good recommendations. We ain’t have AC in our room but that was our decision, if we went back would defo get air conditioning. We stayed at 4 hostels in Santa teresa and the staff at Pura Vida were in’s league of their own. It’s up a slight hill but nothing too steep and a very close walk to the beach and a big supermarket. The pool and outdoor kitchen are both very cl...
