The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Luis is amazing. He has a generous and kind soul. The hostel was very sociable and there was a very nice sharing dynamic. We cooked a lot of meals all together. There was a lot of spices to choose from as well as cooking oil which was very nice as most costa rica hostels dont offer this. The small common areas make it super propice to socialize with people. Nice clothing line to hang clothes. I felt like at home.

Refugio Surf Lodge

Tamarindo

This was one of our multiple stays in Costa Rica, and we were truly impressed. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Above all, the Refugio concept — which includes a beautiful café and a cozy bar offering excellent food and drinks — truly exceeded our expectations. Unlike at other accommodations, we didn't have to eat Gallo Pinto for breakfast every day, but could instead choose from a wide variety of delicious brunch options directly from the restaurant/bar. The staff were friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed — from arranging surf lessons to recommending great local restaurants. We were mainly in touch with Augustin, who took excellent care of us. Overall, we were delighted with our stay and can highly recommend this place.

Beautiful iews overlooking the Pacific ocean. Clean and refreshing swimming pool and spa pool. Eva and Markus were super hosts; there when you needed them and discreet when not. Breakfast was fantastic. About 1km from the beach. We really had a most relaxing time.

Stunning location right on the beach in a quiet fishing town. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! Nice and clean. Room had a fan and a mosquito net. Amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean 😊 Easy to get over to beautiful playa guiones by car/tuk-tuk/bus/hitch hiking or walk for 25min on road then 30min on beach (lovely walk!) if you’re up for it.

My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

Beautiful room and property. Very well maintained. Strategic location only minutes from a variety of beautiful and diverse beaches. A bit of two worlds: in a neighborhood of countryside feel only minutes from ocean rustic beaches and beach resorts. Very thoughtful and comfortable set up in the room. The separate open kitchenette area allows refrigerating local ripe fresh fruits for example which is something I really appreciate. Kitchen is well equipped to cook meals.

Right on the beach which meant we could maximise the fact we were just there for one night. The room was lovely and the place has a really nice and safe feel about it. We loved the cats! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous! We loved having a big local breakfast with plenty of choice and coffee as well as juice was a treat!

It is so beautiful. The grounds are beautifully maintained without being fussy. The bars and bar staff were excellent and there were plenty of spots to just hang out and enjoy the view of the water. Being on the beachfront was wonderful.
