The lounge area is amazing and the ocean view incredible! The bathrooms and beds are very clean compared to others hostels i have been staying at! The staff is super helpful and will assist you with anything you need. Small breakfast included, bread and jelly. I would advice to stay in the 4 beds dorms (13$ or 16$ with A/C)... More

Great view, relaxed atmosphere, all-in-all a great place to stay a while. My girlfriend and I stayed in a two-double room unit with a shared kitchen and living space. It was alright but a little awkward, though that may have been because of the couple we were sharing with. The only thing I didn't like about the room was the... More

This is a fun youthful hostel with a pretty great ocean view. Conrad --the owner--was outstanding host. He gave great suggestions of things to do/places to visit during our stay there. The rooms are clean, staff were very friendly, and the hostel has a little cafe where you can get really good food for very cheap. I would definitely go... More

I stayed here on 2 occasions while I was travelling through Central America. This place has a fun atmosphere, clean rooms, and an amazing view. And the little restaurant they have is really great for both breakfast and dinner. Conrad and his mom really run a top-notch hostel. More

This hostel has an amazing view and also amazing food. It's a bit of a party hostel but not nearly as much as some of the other ones I've been to, so it has a good mix in my opinion. Staff are very helpful as well. More

We had read reviews and how right they were. Wonderful hostel with matching atmosphere. We stayed in the 14bed dorm and I have to admit that I had the best nights sleep in 6.5mths traveling. We had different people float in and out as they do in dorms but the vibe from everyone was totally relaxed and respectful. Sometimes lost... More

I've stayed here twice, once in 2008 and once this year and my group loved it both times. The owners are friendly and helpful, the food is good, and nothing watching the sun set over the Pacific from a cozy hammock. My main recommendation would be to pay the couple bucks extra for a smaller room, which are often air... More

I stayed at Vista Serena for a week and a half and didn't want to leave. It's such a great place to just relax and unwind, meet some new people and watch the sun go down. It's very friendly and open with a great communal area that encourages interaction. The restaurant has delicious food. I stayed in the 14 bed... More

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Vista Serena! Stunning view, plenty of hammocks, great food, convenient location and wonderful people. The staff, Conrad and Leah in particular, are super friendly and in my experience were always were willing to go beyond to assist you. It is incredibly easy to meet new people here and the vibe is...
