You will not regret staying in this hostel, don't hesitate to book! It far exceeded my expectations and this was my favourite place I have stayed on my three month trip. The volunteers and staff were so friendly and good vibes, I stayed in the female dorm and the room was beautifully decorated and spacious. I rented a board and surfed every day, the town felt safe to walk alone and was a perfect size with some lively bars / nights. I love Santa Teresa, it is the best beach town in Costa Rica!

What a lovely place. It is even better than what we see on the picture. The swimming pool is perfect to cool off after a beach day or a tour. You've got everything to enjoy your stay at the hostel (kitchen, pool table, pool, close utilities and beach at 3 min walk) and the chilling area is so relaxing and has a good vibe. Simply Pura Vida! The staff is super nice and friendly, and are always at your disposition for questions and for booking shuttles. I really recommend this place as it is the perfect mix between nature, city and pura vida lifestyle Thanks Pura Vida team. I'll definitely be back

All hostels in Santa Teresa Beach

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 ever stayed in. Everything was a 10 from the incredibly comfortable beds to the very cool rooms. We stayed in the mobile home and it is very spacious with loads of storage and a nice seating area and toilet. Kitchen was big open air and fairly well equipped. Nice social area. Right on a great beach and walking distance to most cafes. The best staff of any property I’ve ever stayed in. Mica and all the other reception staff sorted out any type of inquiry or problem the fastest I’ve seen.

ICO Living is a tasteful, small Hostel, that creates a very homey and safe atmosphere. The Hostel is cleaned everyday and at the most perfect location in Santa Teresa (very close to the beach and everything you might need). Traveling by myself, my stay at ICO Living was especially impacted by the wonderful people that work there. Being welcomed and included with open arms and care made my stay very memorable and if you plan on going to Santa Teresa, I can wholeheartedly recommend ICO Living. 🧡

The ‘beach house’ is definitely something you wouldn’t typically find in a hostel and has possibly one of the best locations in Santa Teresa. Highly recommended to get assigned a room there as it feels more like an independent ‘airbnb’ and one of my best hostel experiences ever

Marco was very nice and helpful. The beds are amazing (double sized bunk beds) and were very clean. Very chill but still social vibe. Across from Selina North and close to the best surf beach of Santa Teresa. I visited when it was very new so a few things missed but I think these things will soon come! Till now one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far!!
