You get more for you money here than I have seen at any other hostel. Restaurant, cheap beers, pool, and hammocks. If you have a car, you have safe parking as well. The one downside I saw was that you have to arrive by 4pm even if you have a reservation or they can give your room away. we weren't arriving till about 6pm so we had to drive into san Jose to pay at hostel Pangea which was a huge pain and out of our way. Besides that, it was a great place to stay for a great value.

The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The environment was very social and fun. This is by far the nicest hostel I have stayed in. Beds, rooms, and bathrooms were very clean. There's also a sweet puppy running around too.
