Hostel Esperanza

Pavones

Located in Pavones, 1.2 km from Playa Pavones, Hostel Esperanza provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Esperanza is the best place I've stayed in Pavones yet! The owner Charlie is absolutely incredible. He was extremely friendly and went out of his way to get us anything we needed during our stay. We booked a private room and it was very clean with a massive bed and beautiful bathroom. Oh and free coffee in the morning which is always nice. The place is located right next to the break so you are able to take a quick walk to the surf. It also has a few soda's within a minute walk, a general store around the corner and a bar not too far as well. It has everything you need within a very short distance which makes the place such an ideal stay. The prices were also extremely reasonable compared to other places in the area. We had the best time and will definitely be coming back!!

GreenPoint Drake Bay

Drake

Situated in Drake, GreenPoint Drake Bay has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

At the hostel, every room includes a balcony with a mountain view. At GreenPoint Drake Bay rooms are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Great experience in the middle of the jungle far from... anything! The cabins are very simple so it's as authentic as it may be. Recommended are ear plugs in case it rains (very loud) or even for the nightlife (much more acceptable). Also, a car is probably necessary as it's a few Kms away from the city. Coming by car, even with a small car, is actually easy in any season.

Surf Shack Room #1

Pavones

Located in Pavones, 500 metres from Playa Pavones, Surf Shack Room #1 provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hostel, all rooms are equipped with a terrace. At Surf Shack Room #1 each room is fitted with air conditioning and a private bathroom. The location was fairly quiet as there wasn't much road traffic going by. There was AC and the shower had hot water, which my wife loved. The kitchen was an ample size and had everything we needed; even Tupperware to keep our extra food so we didn't leave it in the pans. The rooms didn't feel cramped and had shelf space to put our things. The beds we're comfy and the towels were soft. The covered common area outside the kitchen was a great place to eat and for my wife to work. We would stay here again.
