LA TRIBU is an amazing experience! 🌟 Staying in a hostel designed exclusively for women is incredible. From the start, you feel the care and attention in every detail. It’s a safe, welcoming space where you can truly feel comfortable and well taken care of. 💕 The cleanliness is impeccable ✨, the spaces are well-equipped and functional, with a fully stocked kitchen 🍳, a dedicated area for makeup and hair 💄, and even a jacuzzi to relax 🛁. The hostel also offers fantastic activities like karaoke 🎤, sound healing 🧘‍♀️, and bike rentals 🚴‍♀️. They even provide psychological support services 🫶 for anyone in need, showing how much they care about their guests’ well-being. The location is perfect, close to the beach 🏖️, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. It was wonderful to feel so safe and welcomed in a place that encourages fun, comfort, and connection among women. 🌸 Highly recommended—I can’t wait to come back! 🌟

The property is located outside the busy and noisy centre of town in an oasis of peace and rest. The views of the sea, and the plants, trees and animals all around are magic! ✨ saw a sloth right opposite the gate of Svastha and Tucana fly around the yoga Shala!

It’s very clean and quiet. Everyone is extremely helpful. If you want some action you can go into town (10min walking or 3min bike) if you want some peace and quiet you’re right at the beach or stay in the really nice garden. It’s really green and beautiful. As a sólo traveller you can easily connect with others or chill in a hammock! Wifi is working everywhere, beds have curtains for privacy and you can even rent bikes. I really really enjoyed my stay, I already came back and will come back again!

I sleeped in the dorm with the Hammocks. It's possible to hang up your own or the one from the hostel. 1 night in a Hammock from the hostel is 6$ and the price is super fair.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
