Costa Rica Backpackers was our very first hostel experience. Our plane was over an hour late and the driver waited for us, which was so great! Upon our arrival, the staff was extremely helpful and nice. We only stayed there for one night and half the next day, but the atmosphere was laidback and relaxing. We'd return in a heartbeat! Thank you Lori and Cheryl Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I very much enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The security was great. My room was clean, and the people were very friendly. I only wish I'd packed my bathing suit, because the pool looked wonderful! Thanks for a great experience! (Oh, the restaurant had really good food as well!
