I went to Santa Theresa for the first time in Feb and had no idea what to expect... aside from great beaches! My 2 friends and I stayed at Don Jon's and were blown away by the customer service, clean rooms and food. We even got to switch rooms when we realized we wanted to be higher up in the... More

Don John's is located close to the beach access and market. I have spent over 6 months in costa rica, mostly on the Pacific coast surfing and meeting new friends. Santa Teresa is a chill town that embodies the true meaning of pura vida, the best surf for all levels from beginner to advanced. there life is simple enough to... More

This is a cool lil place with really good value for your buck. Dorms have aircon a fridge and the beds are above average. The people running this place are friendly and helpful. The security guard at night, on the other hand, was a huge downer and I'm pretty sure he stole someone's wallet while I was staying there. I... More

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).

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

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.
