Room2Board Hostel and Surf School

I almost didn’t stay at Room2Board— they are VERY Instagram-friendly, and I am not exactly the IG demographic. That said, I am glad I didn’t get scared off! Room2Board was clean and friendly, and they were strict about quiet hours starting at 11 pm, so no worries about pounding music all night. My only two comments are SUPER minor: it would be great if they provided hooks in the rooms to hang up wet/damp clothes, especially since they don’t want you to hang clothes out on the balconies, and the free coffee doesn’t actually start at 5 am like the signs in the room say- it starts at 7 am.

This is such a great hostel. I had a private room with a shared bathroom. Staff was friendly and the place was big, bright and clean. Right by the beach for great surfing. 10/10. Even got to watch nfl by the pool in the big projector Close to a few good bars for night life. Don’t go alone at night. Jaco is high risk if you are out alone at night.

Excellent price and environment especially u love surfing and great party !! There are many awesome guys and make me sooooo happy, absolutely I wanna go back again !

There is a reason why this place is rated “best hostel in Costa Rica”. Clean, cool vibe, really nice pool, great location. This place is fantastic. My only gripe was that the free morning coffee wasn’t more than luke-warm. I’d still gladly go back.

Elevator was not working Lobby staff not able to help all time, many answers like "i dont know"

R2B had such a fun atmosphere, was steps to the beach, and had awesome happy hour specials!

Great hotel! Had happy hour 3 times a day, right by the beach and cheap surf rentals. They even had yoga on the roof.

Warm and welcoming staff. Great attention by owner to make sure your stay is wonderful. Friendly customers from all over world. Tour services available plus surfing lessons and rentals. Yoga and group hikes. Good food. Pleasant bar atmosphere and DJ most nights, until 11pm ... not too late so you can still get sleep. Options for private rooms and baths with AC, which we had, so good for any adult even tho it says it is a hostel. Good Wifi. Steps to beach. Easy walk to town, for shops, restaurants and bars. Overall a fantastic experience.

clean sheets. good ac, lockers... all good. The staff is friendly and speak good english. The swimming pool and bar is a nice area to meet new people. Rooms are better then Selina, however, it's not that big, so the vibe can be quiet at some part of the day. It is chill tho.

Todo salió bien todo fue tranquilo, buen establecimiento, limpio y cómodo.
