Staying in the hostel Plinio was like a paradise. The surroundings, the way the hostel is set up in the greenery on the hill, being able to spot parrots flying around (especially around 5pm) and enjoying an amazing view of the Pacific was incredible. Really, if you are looking for a peaceful and tranquil place, feeling like you are in symbiosis with nature, come to this hostel. I loved the room I was staying in (Room 1, but I am pretty sure all rooms have a similar set up). There is plenty of room for your things (lockers and around the beds) as well as a balcony and a rooftop providing a gorgeous view of the Pacific and sunsets. The bed was very comfy! As it is a bit further away from the centre of Quepos (15-20 mins walk), many animals live in the surroundings and as they are often noctural, it can be quite noisy during the night. However, it is nothing that earbuds could not solve. (I am a light sleeper). There is a good transport connection to Manuel Antonio (bus coming every 30-40 mins on the road so watch out:) it costs 300 or 400 colones, as far as I remember. Manuel Antonio park was beautiful. I didnt have a tour guide and managed to see so many animals! You also find a bus station in Quepos, which provides a bus transport to many places around Costa Rica. I highly recommend staying in this hostel!

The accomodation was clean, with plenty of space and nice facilities. Daniela was super sweet, welcoming and helpful! A really beautiful person! I was so grateful! I loved the availability and kinnes of Daniela, cleanness, space, the relaxed athmosphere and the facilities and fun walking-distance. There is a short supermarket round the corner, a bakery, a car park, and plenty of bars 5-minutes walking distance.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at here in Costa Rica. Super friendly and helpful staff, the breakfast was delightful, spacious dorman and great facilities. The pool and common area are definitely a huge plus!

The best hostel I have been to in Costa Rica! Surrounded by nature, cleaned every day and very helpful staff. I especially like the spacious dorm rooms and it was a nice temperature, even though there was no AC.

Nice hostel, very well located. When I got there I thought I would need to rent a scooter or something, but it’s so easy to go to the beach and to Manuel Antonio with the bus service that I ended up just using that. So, cheaper but still amazingly easy!
