10/10 stay!!! If you are in Tamarindo this is the place to be, always a good vibe, people down to go out every night, but also chill if you want. The staff are incredible - Tobi, Kelly, Juli, Maria, Fernandito, Minuit, and especially Lucas. Facilities are everything you need - big kitchen for lots of people to cook and lots of spots to chill. Such a great location - close to the beach and all the bars. Run, don’t walk to Pura Vida Mini!!!!

Can't recommend this place enough! Lucas, Toby, Julian and all the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location is perfect with a 5 minute walk to the beach and a bunch of food trucks as well has a liquor and grocery store. They make it super easy to rent surf boards and have a full size kitchen with everything you need. They also have hot water not that you really need it in Tamarindo. Also has a great atmosphere and community. Definitely worth the money and the stay!

Very nice little hostel. Stayed in a private room shared bathroom. Make sure you differ between the Pura Vida hostel and the MINI hostel, which is this one. Pool is nice and refreshing after being in the ocean. Close to the beach and all the stuff in town. Always love AC in the room as well. Would recommend to anybody staying in Tamarindo!

If you’re traveling to Tamarindo, definitely stay here. Amazing people and incredible experience. The staff are so personable and there is always something to do.

This was such a fun place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone! You are in a prime spot and everyone who worked there makes the environment feel so welcoming and comfortable. A fun atmosphere in the night but also a place where you can relax.
