Bamboo Surf House - Hostel

The Bamboo surf house is such a nice, well-set place in Playa Hermosa, much quieter that the neighbouring Santa Teresa. The beach is a stone's throw away, the place has lots of surfboards to rent (in good shape!), a cute yoga deck and several places to just relax and enjoy. The two dogs are so charming, would sometimes walk you to the beach. Everything was clean, looked after and the hosts are extremely helpful and kind!

I felt like a queen staying at Bamboo for 2 weeks. I woke up every morning to rays of light peeking in through the bamboo window shades and just felt so much abundance here. It truly is a gorgeous space. Quite literally everything is made out of bamboo. The place is very clean, quiet, decorated with twinkly lights everywhere. The beds are cozy and the rooms are very spacious. There is a communal kitchen that's really nice and I found it very easy to navigate. Also, an amazing Italian restaurant and a super market within walking distance. **Very important for me being a remote worker: The internet was perfect! Never had any problems and I lead zoom calls with near 100 people sometimes. The beach is a short walk through the jungle away (about 5 minutes) backing right up to the best surf spot. I am a beginner at surfing and I found the waves to be amazing here for me. I felts safe. They set me up with a few 1:1 surf lessons and that was amazing. There's a gorgeous yoga studio there and daily yoga or workout classes which was a nice touch. Really there is not much I would complain about. I would say that it is a more quiet end of town so if youre looking for party life then it may not be here. If your intention is to connect with family, surf often, and be in nature then its perfect! I did go into Santa Teresa often via taxi.

AMAZING!! Lovely accommodation, perfect peaceful location and super friendly and helpful owners/staff. Only 5 min walk from the beach where you can surf to your hearts content, bamboo really has been the best start to our Costa Rica adventure, hopefully be back soon!

We spent 2 nights in the bamboo house and we loved it. The place is perfect for everyone who wants to be close to the beach and who wants to be surrounded by nature. Mary is very kind and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms were cozy and new. We can fully recommend the bamboo house. Go there and enjoy, we did :)

This place was exactly was I was looking for. A bit outside from Santa Teresa it is really quiet because it is far enough from the Main Street. You be able to hear the nature and it is just 5 minutes walk to the perfect surf spot of the area for any skill level. The manager and the cook of the place are just lovely and always happy to help you with your questions & wishes. You are able to book surf or spanish lessons, the yoga retreat center is just 15 minutes walk on the nice beach and you can even do free diving courses. I can definitely recommend!
