I got into Tamarindo after a long trip from Mannuel Antonino. The hostel is very smiple and small, the hostel sits right behind the surf shop. Anyways I had a surf and stay combo package, it also came with breakfeast as well as shuttle back to Liberia. It all came for a pretty cheap price, the surf lesson were cool... More

I stayed at Blue Trailz for about 2 weeks. The hostel is small (only sleeps about 20 people I think) which is part of what made is so great. There's a really chill communal area with a bunch of hammocks where people swap stories and get to know each other. The staff are awesome (and have no problem telling you... More

I don't even know where to start with my review. As a solo, budget traveler, Blue Trailz is definitely the best place (& value) to stay in Tamarindo! So good, that I stayed for 3 weeks in March 2012. I stayed in the 6-bed dorms, and it's great to come home to a cold A/C room, hot shower, and brand... More

Everyone here was so warm and friendly! True Costa Rican hospitality going on here. My friends and I had an amazing time here and we were very impressed by the amenities. Just as we got in, they were bringing in new mattresses! Such a treat considering many hostels think that they can get away with having subpar mattresses because of... More

Absolutely great place to stay. Really great atmosphere in the common areas and the staff were all incredibly nice and helpful with everything we had questions about. The dorms were extremely well kept. The surf instructors were really great and patient with us. Extremely close to the beach and pretty much everything else you could possibly want to do within...

I had a fabulous time at Blue Trailz. All of the people who work there were so accommodating and sweet! Our mountain biking tour guide even put up with us taking double the amount of time for the bike tour because of flat tires! The location was absolutely perfect-right across from the beach and down the block from a ton... More

It's been a year since I was there and I miss the incredible staff there. Wendy, Marcela, Marta and Geovanny really make Blue Trailz. I found the accommodations good. I love how close it is to the beach (just a few steps away). Perhaps, my favourite area of this whole place is the common area. It's set behind the storefront... More
