This is a wonderful hotel and hostel. I stayed here in August of 2012 for a week and loved every minute of it. The rooms were very clean and in a great location. We stayed in a suite with three rooms on the second floor and it was very windy at night which was a little loud, but is expected... More

If your looking for a great location for a surf and explore Costa Rica trip, this is a good choice. Six of us were very comfortable in the "Libelula" house that the hotel rents out. It's steps from the bar/restaurant/pool area of the hotel and walking distance to some other great eats. A quick 1/4 mile walk to a great... More

Other reviewers comments about "not as good as expected" apply here. Our $60 a night room (if paid in cash, otherwise they tag on 13% more) was small, dingy and dark. Double bed with stiff sheets, a futon that couldn't function as a couch so maybe it's a better bed? Wooden shelves, a frig. Heavy bars on the windows provide... More

This is the best place I have ever stayed, hands down. I don't know if it was just because there was an incredible group of people there when I was there or if it was the hostel or the combination of the two, but I was so satisfied. Pochote got a little hot even though there were ceiling fans, and... More

We stayed for 3 nights. It's a nice place close to a great surf beach, Guiones, but we were really disappointed with the communication from the staff working here. Our room was clean & comfortable but we were never informed about the water schedule. Instead we found out after we came back from a sunset surf that there was no... More

This was a great property. Staff was superb, the accomodation was spacious and roomy, ceiling fans in every room. The apartment unit #10 had a dining table with room for 8... lots of room, great set up, location is very close to the beach, grocery store, surf shop and restaurants.. though they had great food and a great open air...

Kayasol is a special place. It attracts a wonderful mix of characters, a majority are fit surfer boys chasing the waves to the beautiful beaches a short walk from the hotel. As a single traveler I loved the affordable dorm style rooms, pool, and restaurant which is a hub for not only the hotel but the neighborhood. The women at... More

We just spent 7 nights in the beach house at Kaya Sol. The location (beach was around the corner) and the restaurant were excellent. The beach house was the perfect accommodation for my family. We had 2 bathrooms and two bedrooms. The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable. There was a futon in the living area but the mattress... More
