This place is beautiful - so nicely done in a gorgeous, relaxing and peaceful spot with just howler monkeys for company! There is a great communal area with a kitchen and you can get breakfast and juices on site if you don't want to cook. The hosts are wonderful and friendly. I loved the tent - so romantic, especially at night! It's all been really well thought out and has an emphasis on being at one with nature. A great little find.
Best hostel costa rica
La atención es genial y las tiendas de acampar son grandes y cómodas.
At first I was unsure about paying to sleep in a tent. I would however choose to sleep in the tents at Alohuatta over any room I've been in on other hostels. The tents are clean and has comfy beds. They are also covered with "an extra roof" to keep the tent out of direct sunlight (which keeps the tent from getting a hundred degrees).
Alouatta has a super chill athmosphere in a very beautiful area. The communal area is combined with an outdoor kitchen, a few hammocks and a nice view over the whole area. They have a nice setup with lots of board games to play, which makes Alouatta a perfect place to relax after a day surfing. They also offered some of the best homemade smoothies I've ever tasted.
There's a beautiful beach close to Alouhatta. I highly recommend going there during the sunset. For surfers, there's a point break right next to the beach. The waves were to small during our stay, but we managed to catch some good waves anyways, and we believe that surf can be really good there with some bigger waves.
Yenkim and Misha at Alouatta have put a lot of effort in building this place. It also turned out amazing, and I can highly recommend this place to anybody traveling along the coast of Costa Rica!
