Frequently asked questions

Our kitchen is open from 7 AM to 10.30 PM. As we near closing time we remind our guests to retrieve any items they might want for the rest of the evening before we lock it up. We do have raccoons and they love to come and rob the fridges hence the main reason we close the kitchen. If you have special circumstance, and need the kitchen open early morning hours, please talk to the reception staff and they will be more than happy to accommodate your request.

Yes, Wi-Fi is readily available throughout the entire property. Please note that we are still in Costa Rica and though we have 2 separate routers and our bandwidth is 9MPS per each, in high season when Tamarindo is highly populated it is possible for our internet provider to become overwhelmed. We ask for your patience and understanding on these very rare occasions.  Costa Rica as a whole has ONLY 3 internet providers and we are using what we consider to be the best and most reliable option at this time.

We have 2 separate areas to park on premise and are the ONLY hostel in Tamarindo that offers the luxury of private parking INSIDE on the actual hostel grounds. Please note, however, that the parking is FIRST COME and FIRST SERVE! If the inside parking is full we do have street side parking just outside of the property. We feel that this is also an excellent and very safe option, however as a common sense practice we do not recommend leaving any visible items of value in your cars.

Due to extreme drought in Tamarindo, currently we are not able to offer this service on premise, as we need to assure that we have enough water for our guests and our hostel laundry. We do, however, have several laundry service companies in Tamarindo that we are happy to recommend.

Yes we offer recycling facilities in our hostel (not many hotels, hostels, restaurants or bars do) as we care to protect our environment. We have plastic, glass and can recycling bins placed through the hostel as well as bin for organic compost material located in the kitchen. We encourage you to use all of these resources so we can together protect our Earth for you and future generations to come.

Yes, in most cases we can accommodate groups up to 60 people and we do create special pricing. As we know most of the tour providers personally we can even arrange special group prices directly with a tour providers for your tours, or even meals. However we encourage you to book well in advance and reach out to us directly at [email protected]

Even though Costa Rica seems super safe, you are STILL in a developing country! For your safety and for the safety of your fellow travelers we do NOT allow any outside guests that are NOT checked in (with their passport) with us to stay, visit, play games or socialize in the hostel.  .

Tamarindo is located in the province of Guanacaste which is the driest part of Costa Rica and in recent years has been experiencing a major drought especially during our High/Dry Season. Due to these circumstances, when Tamarindo is full of tourists and there are no rains, you may notice extreme water shortages throughout the town. In order to avoid this situation in our hostel we have 2 separate holding tanks for water that hold over 7.500 liters of water, which we have found is a more than sufficient amount for the comfort of our guests. Because of the lack of a fresh incoming water source, we do not necessarily recommend drinking the water in Tamarindo as it has to be trucked in by trucks carrying water from unknown sources and heavily treated.  We leave this choice up to our guests.

This is not an amenity that we provide, therefore please bring your own adaptors. On occasion we may have some that others have left behind, though this is not guaranteed, or you can buy them in the local store.
