This beachside branch of a hostel chain consists of 16 colorful thatched bungalows in rows running down to a pool and the beach. The total 41 rooms come in every possible shape and size, from a mixed dorm with 12 beds and a dozen thatched glamping 'tents' to a private double with bathroom and balcony (best: room 204).
The hostel's nerve center is the beachside restaurant (mains US$8 to US$14) and bar and its pool tables, where surfers will regale you with tales of their exploits; escape to the recycled van with the thatched roof opposite or the chilled co-worker space for some net-surfing. Selina rents boards for US$10/75 per day/week and organizes whale-watching and turtle-watching tours to Isla Iguana (US$42 per person) and Isla Cañas (US$38) in season.
