    We had an amazing stay at a laid back hostel with a big jungle garden. Sitting on the hammock, we saw toucans, iguanas, and colibris. The staff was friendly and helped us book tours, including a canoe tour and a turtle night discovery. The hostel also arranged a shuttle for us. we highly recommend this hostel for its beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, and great tours.

    We stayed at Aracari Garden for a few nights and it was a wonderful experience. The property was beautiful and felt safe, with a relaxed and natural atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the friendly environment between guests. The tours offered at the hotel were great, with our guide Israel being extremely knowledgeable. The rooms were clean and equipped with everything we needed. The location was excellent, being close to everything and just a short walk from the beach. it was a great value for the price.

    We strongly recommend this hotel.

    We had an incredible stay at this laid back hostel with amazing tours. Our room was lovely with a hot shower, and we enjoyed connecting with other travelers in the communal areas. The owners, Marina and Alejandro, were so helpful and friendly. The highlight was the wildlife in the garden! We did the turtle and canoeing tours with their knowledgeable guide, Israel, and it was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hostel and their tours.

    the surrounding space was super nice, with divans and hammocks to lay in. The staff were super friendly and wanted to make sure we saw all the wildlife that lives in their garden. Location was perfect and close to the beach to catch the turtles hatching. Definitely a place I would stay again.

    Something was missing.

    the jungle garden in the middle was stunning, and we enjoyed spotting toucans, iguanas, and colibris from the hammocks. the colorful beds in the chilling area were so inviting, it felt like they were calling us to take a quick nap. the friendly staff made our experience even better, and we were able to easily book tours directly at the hostel. the canoe tour and turtle night discovery were incredible, especially witnessing the nesting of three turtles with our guide's expertise. we think it's the best hostel in town considering the price. Cons: Almost perfect 👌.

    the friendly staff made us feel like part of their family and provided us with plenty of information. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with hot water in the showers and a nice garden view. the breakfast at their bistro was delicious, especially the iced coffee. They also offered a variety of tours, such as turtle watching, canoeing, and hiking, which were all amazing.

    The nearby hotel's loud music in the afternoon and evening was a bit bothersome and affected our afternoon rest time.

    The hostel's staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, always ready to provide helpful information and assist with any needs. the rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with comfortable beds. the showers have hot water and good water pressure. the communal kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and there is free coffee and tea available all day.

    The portion sizes for the food served in the hostel's restaurant could be bigger.

    The staff at the hostel were incredibly helpful and welcoming, providing us with advice and helping us book tours before our arrival. The night tour and canoe tour were both amazing, thanks to the knowledgeable guide, Luis. The location of the hostel was perfect, with everything we needed close by. The garden area with the kitchen and chill out area was a great spot to relax and spot local wildlife. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with fans and private bathrooms. Having freshly brewed coffee available all day was a bonus.

    Felt safe, nothing to complain about.
