Located in Dos Brazos, Bolita Trails and Lodging features a garden and a bar. The hostel provides both free WiFi and free private parking.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Dos Brazos, like hiking. I came as a guest and decided to stay as a volunteer. I sincerely enjoyed my time soaking in the nature and wildlife. There is so much hiking you can do, I recommend staying at least a few nights to enjoy it thoroughly. A special thanks to Ron the owner for his kindness and the other volunteers and guests for a beautiful experience. I look forward to coming again!

Choose between our cozy dorms or private rooms, all designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll have access to a shared kitchen, chillout spaces, and opportunities to meet travelers from around the world. I loved the helpful reception, free activities like morning yoga and beach volleyball, and the amazing Soul restaurant. The beach was just a short walk away. Great atmosphere – highly recommend!
