The place was cute and the price was great! Nice to be right on the beach. Staff were all helpful and we enjoyed the slack line and lounge area. Very clean and welcoming set up.
We felt it was a little far from the surf breaks, which are just across the river to the south and beginners bay - about a 20 minute walk carrying surf board etc. also, the shower could’ve use a head, as it was really just a tap - not so good and getting the sand off. One last thing, they don’t provide any drinking water which was a bit unfortunate seeing as the shop is down at the south end of the street. Altogether these are minor things, and for the price it was still good!

Lovely place, only a female dorm and 2x privates so a small hostel. Valeria the volunteer is wonderful and all the female guests who have stayed a longer time - feels like a family. The kitchen could be slightly better equipped and sometimes issue with mains water, but filtered water included. Owner sorted issues.

This place made me completely happy. The everyday view from the shared kitchen and the chillin area was my favorite part of all. Literally right on the beach, priceless.

This hostel was absolutely a gift! The room was super big and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen was very cozy and there is a lot of space to relax. With an amazing view of the ocean, this hostel made my really happy.
The walk to the surfer spot is only 15 minutes and it’s a very nice walk on the beach.
4.0 / 5.0
straight at the beach. big room (the private one). friendly staff and host. nice relaxing atmosphere. kitchen with a big fridge to store your things. there is pizza night with great pizza 3x per week. The other days there is no food or drinks available but there are other restaurants or you can cook for your self.
the beginnersbay to surf is a good 20-30 min. walk from Escondite but therefor the market is kind of close.
i would have liked a hammok to relax in but that‘s just my taste. the sittingarea is very pretty but the sittingpilows could do with a replacment.

If you want a relatively quiet place ,with a little social mix every other day of the week during pizza night that isnt too loud and crazy, then come here! Absolutely lovely place, massive dorm room with multiple toilets and showers in the room, comfy beds, can hear the sound of the waves at night. The location is right on the beach. Very clean, beds extremely comfortable and made everyday, kitchen well equipped. I could have easily stayed here for weeks! Best location on Playa Guasacaste!
There weren't many working lockers (due to missing keys) i hope the owner will fix the locker situation soon. The pots and pans in the kitchen could use an upgrade, scrubbing those were an extra job!!

Really nice place on the beach. Very chilled vibe. Pizza night brings a crowd and a lovely atmosphere. Can walk to beginners bay in about 20 mins (may have to swim across the river though at high tide). Comfy room and nice little kitchen. The owner was very helpful.

Nice location at the beach. Big room with seating area.
The pizza nights were great.
There was not always someone of the staff available. For example when they were surfing. This was a bit inconvenient.
5.0 / 5.0
A really great place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the place is kept spotlessly clean, the kitchen is very well equipped and the value for money is super great. Pizza nights on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are not to be missed! The owner Ale is a really great dude who will go out his way for you, whether it be to get you to your next spot or take you out for a surf, good vibes here 🤙

Staff is superfriendly, Alejo is cool and he will help you out with anything you need. The place is lovely, quiet and right at the beach. The dorm is one of the nicest i‘ve been for a long time, so much space and really clean. The kitchen is well equiped and also clean. We had a great stay!

The Staff is great!
The main issue is the owner, too party crazy, inappropriate stories about women, disrespectful to his staff, would never want to give him my money again.
5.0 / 5.0
Alejandro is a warm, helpful and refreshingly honest host. Dogs are the best. Center beachfront location, everything walking distance. Private rooms clean and roomy. Great morning coffee. Workout bar. Surf boards of high quality. If you can’t get a room here come over anyway and get something from the bar/restaurant to take in the vibe. Perfect 10 no discussion.
Addictive and hard to leave
5.0 / 5.0
Popoyo is a piece of paradise and Escondite Pacifico the perfect place to stay.. Unpretentious yet comfortable. Food was delicious and staff helpful and friendly. Our host, Alejo, treated us more like freinds than paying guests.What more could you ask for.
Nothing not to like
