Cafecito Surf feels like home. The place is cozy and only a few minutes away from the beach. They offer really nice coffee, and I even had the time to learn how to make "Gallo Pinto" a traditional dish. I spent 4 nights at Cafecito and took 1 surf lesson, this was my second time surfing. Leni gave me the confidence I needed not to freak out. Next time I'll make sure I stay longer to keep learning. Surfing in Santa Teresa is an experience everyone should try at least once.

The best hostel I have stayed in. Ever. Apart from the perfect location with regards to the beach and supermarket, the atmosphere of the hostel was magical. I formed some long-lasting connections with people all over the globe - it definitely encouraged a strong sense of creating a travelling family! The design of the kitchen and other communal areas made me want to always be lounging around in the space - very spacious and comforting. Beautiful plants everywhere which made the hostel feel peaceful and secluded. The volunteers and owners were another lovely addition I wasn't expecting - genuinely good people (with good taste in music too). I could've spent several months just in this hostel and this area - I never got bored of the vibe.

The people, the rooms, the vibe. I was supposed to stay for one week, ended up extending to 3 weeks. The owner had to convince me to catch my flight otherwise I would still be there.

Everything about this spot is amazing. The beach access is impossible to beat, the unique accommodations are fun and funky. The beds are extremely comfortable which is so welcomed after a long day of surfing. The staff are helpful and friendly, checking in was a breeze, and their surf instructors are really friendly and effective. The price for all of this is impossible to beat. We wanted to stay much longer, and we will be back!

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!!
