Located in Santa Teresa Beach, 200 metres from Carmen Beach, El Gato Rojas Surf Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. Located around 500 metres from Santa Teresa Beach, the hostel with free WiFi is also 2.7 km away from Mar Azul. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

If you can, you gotta stay in the tent!! Huuuge king size bed, so comfortable with A/C. Bathroom with shower was perfect too! But the main reason you wanna stay there is the people!! A lot of people stay there for long so it’s really nice to have people showing you around town. Surf lessons were amazing and can’t say enough good thing about Ruddy the teacher, he is “intense” but really wants you to succeed haha Beware you’ll want to stay longer than planned! But no worries, even the dorms were nice and comfortable :)

Located in Santa Teresa Beach, within 300 metres of Carmen Beach and 400 metres of Santa Teresa Beach, Hostel Tuanis Surf Camp provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is set 2.8 km from Mar Azul, 14 km from Montezuma Waterfal and 39 km from Tortuga Island. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a garden view.

Nice chill vibe, great outdoor space surrounded by nature and kitchen had all equipment we needed to make meals as a group of 5! Easy walking distance to beach restaurants and two supermarkets. Host Harrison was great, really looked after us, taught a couple of us to surf and even got us all coconuts from the tree afterwards! 10/10 would go back even though none of us surf! booking.com photos don’t do the property justice.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

    The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

    simply the best hostel I’ve ever been in my life, once there you don’t want to leave. The hostel is in a perfect position, 5 min walking from the center of Montezuma so it’s super calm and fresher at night. it’s really immersed in the jungle so you can see iguanas and monkeys from the windows but still it has very good mosquito nets. the dorms are comfy and there are enough bathrooms for all guests. The breakfast is super to start your day.

    The shared kitchen facilities were clean and well equipped. There are plenty of tables and comfy cushions as well as a few hammocks to relax in. Get to see the monkeys and iguanas in the trees right outside the hostel. There was a safe in our room.

    The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
