We stayed 2 months at the hostel and we loved it! The staff is nice and they cleaned our dorm everyday. But the best part is, that the owners Marcos and Jana created a place where you are totally welcome - everyone is. There is a big hangout area with hammocks and sofas which is amazing and very nice for socializing. The kitchen is very well equipped and super clean. We stayed there for surfing and Marcos always choose the perfect spot so it matched our level. He is the best surfteacher I ever had and I totally recommend him. For new years eve they made a big all you can eat bbq, sometimes they made ceviche- whatever they did, it was amazing. This place is created with love and passion and it was wonderful to be a part of this for a while. Best place in Santa Teresa.

Excellent location just a few meters from the beach and cafes. I liked the shared room because the beds were large and there was plenty of space to leave my backpacks. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful. It's a small hostel, so if you're traveling alone like I was, it's very easy to make friends.

The Cafecito Surfhouse - Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa Beach (Near Montezuma)

The Cafecito Surfhouse - Santa Teresa is set in Santa Teresa Beach, within 15 km of Montezuma Waterfal and 40 km of Tortuga Island.

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 pods were really really comfortable to sleep in, with a locker you can keep your things safe in. The kitchen was the best hostel kitchen we had during our trip. Quite big and very organized. Overall it’s a very social hostel and we met amazing people during both our stays. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

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!

All hostels in Montezuma

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.

    Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

    The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

    The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
