Hostel Pura Vida

About

A hostel on Costa Rica, Hostel Pura Vida sits along Av Central 311 in Provincia de Guanacaste, Tamarindo, 50309, Costa Rica, a Pacific-coast town in the country's northwest. It operates as a hotel in Tamarindo, one of the beach towns on the Guanacaste coast.

Tamarindo itself gives way to San José, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde for travellers plotting a wider route. First-time hostel guests can expect a straightforward base in Tamarindo, with the beach town's services close at hand. Its 3.8 out of 5 average comes from 238 guest reviews, a substantial tally for a hostel.

Beyond the address, the property keeps a presence on TripAdvisor, where its guest reviews are collected. The hostel's listing there is the main online record of the property.

Spanish is the official language, and the local greeting pura vida doubles as a relaxed hello and goodbye. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard breakfast, worth trying before a day of travel. Buses and shared shuttles link the main beach towns, so moving between the coast and the interior is manageable without a car.
