Room2Board Hostel and Surf School

A combination hostel and hotel was a brilliant idea. I had never paid much attention to Room to Board, even though I spend 2 months a year in the town of Jaco. I was forced to find a new place to stay this year and found a gem. I give all of these amenities 5 stars. Clean, modern private room with bath and air conditioning. I heard no complaints from those who stayed in the hostel rooms. Great pool area. Bar and restaurant that also serves the public. Observation deck with hammocks and shaded areas. Fully stocked community kitchen. (not all guests remember to do their dishes) Friendly, helpful staff of volunteers who earn their room and board. Surf instructors for those who want lessons. Really fun guys. Dedicated cleaning staff who not only keep the rooms spotless but the entire property as well. The general maintenance guy never slowed down. Special events and parties at the bar. Secure parking. Great location. 100 yards from the beach. Quiet hours were rarely disobeyed. During my 6 week stay I made friends with people from all over the world. Hopefully I haven't missed anything. I highly recommend Room to Board.

Such a fun party atmosphere ! Very clean! I had my own room and shared bathroom which was perfect. They also have a small kitchen if you want to make some of your own food and save money. The food was good , employees were great! Walking distance to the ocean with incredible views on the roof.

This was my first time staying in a hostel and it was amazing. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the cleaning staff was kind and kept our room very clean for our whole stay. They came to clean the bathroom every day and changed our linens on the bed several times throughout our stay (9 days). The food at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced, as were the drinks. The tours we booked through the hostel were very safe and reasonably priced. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend staying here.

Room2board was great! Such a clean hostel with a perfect location. Our private room was nice with 4 beds and own bathroom. Also they would come clean the room every other day. Kitchen was awesome. They put on sports game by the pool every night. Was able to watch NFL games in the pool. Overall great place

Exactly what I was looking for out of my stay! Staff was welcoming, the food and drinks at the bar were delicious, and my shared hostel room was sparkling clean. Access and parking could not have been easier, and the beach is a football kick from the property. There was also plenty of space to store my surfboards, and a work-horse to aid the prep required to set up my fins and wax accordingly. I would recommend this hostel to anyone looking to make friends while traveling. Price for the value of the stay was 12 out of 10.

This was my first solo trip and first time staying in a hostel so I wasn't sure what to expect.. This place exceeded my expectations! They set the bar extremely high for any future hostel stays I have. You are right near the beach and walkable to town but also have a great pool and restaurant right on site. The staff are great and really know how to show you a great time!! I will 10/10 be coming back. Thank you to Brian and his whole team!!
