I can't say enough positive things about Don Jon's. It was perfect. Extremely clean, great atmosphere, the room we stayed in (bungalow in a tree house type of architecture) was immaculate, beautiful wood, mini fridge so you could buy your own drinks and food from the local supermarket (which is only about a 1 minute walk from the hostel). And... More

Loved staying here. The staff was so friendly and easy going. We stayed in the dorm which worked perfectly for us. Out of 8 beds, only two others were being used so it wasn't overcrowded. There was a decent bathroom/shower in the room which served all of our needs.They helped direct us to the beach (super close), find good food... More

We stayed in the wooden hut. The hamacks are a big plus. Such as the wooden infrastructure. We even saw some monkeys in the trees above. What a sight! Further the rooms where clean an inspiring because of the wooden interior. The only negative thing about it is that they only had a fan, no a/c. So we had a... More

We stayed in the A/C 8-bed dorm of Don Jon's and can only recommend it. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Only the bathroom was a bit small. But this is compensated by the very nice atmosphere and good rates, even at crazy New Year times.

I will try to keep this concise, as I could rave about this hostel for pages and pages. When we first arrived in Santa Teresa, my girlfriend and I checked out about 12 different hostels, hotels, and B&B's, as we planned on staying a few days or more. Most of the others seemed a bit overpriced for the amenities, and... More
