It is a wonderful place where you can relax and be part of the family of this hostel! The owners and staff are super friendly, the location is amazing with monkeys and leguanos around and it's only a short walk to the beach. Would highly recommend if you look for a peaceful place!

Xavi the host gave us such a warm welcome to his beautiful spot. A well equipped gorgeous cabin surrounded by a beautiful garden with a pool and laundry. Xavi was very helpful and showed our children the local monkeys. Best bit is that the profits go to the tree charity.

I spent the last three nights of my trip at Tuki Tuki lodge and would come back in a heartbeat. JP gave me a warm welcome, even took a short tour of the city in a TukTuk and showed me the most important landmarks. Since the lodge is a little out of the way, it is very quiet, but even as a woman I felt safe walking back from the city in the dark. JP also gave me the bike to use freely, which made the distance even shorter. The room was clean and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was prepared to order every morning and was very tasty. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

The hotel is positioned in a lush garden, creating a relaxing environment. Jenna is friendly, warm and welcoming. The beds are the most comfortable we have had in Costa Rica, and the rooms cosy.

    We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

    I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.

    Affordable, spacious room. The pool is ideal for cooling down a bit. Breakfast is good. Access to the kitchen is a big plus. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The ocean is calmer than in other beaches on this peninsula, ideal for smaller children or learning to surf.

    Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price! We would come again!
