Situated in Liberia, Hostel Dodero has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 38 km from Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, 1.4 km from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium and 41 km from Marina Papagayo. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I spent only few hours in this hostel due to my late arrival and early departure but it was pretty nice! I booked a 6 bedroom dorm and ended up in a 2 bedroom dorm with another female. It was great, but sharing the room with a male wouldn’t feel comfortable. The room had a/c too. The common area was better than on the pictures with a very spacious kitchen. Everything was clean, tourist info provided.

Hostel La Botella de Leche is 5 minutes’ walk from Tamarindo town centre and 1 hour’s drive from Daniel Oduber International Airport. We had a wonderful experience at the hostel. It felt like we became a part of a family for the 10 days we spent there. It was one of the hardest places to leave from all of my travels and all of this was thanks to the wonderful staff and beautiful and clean place. Thank you!
