Front desk & staff were great with answering questions, helping with a lock out, and more. Room was clean and easy to access and the location was super convenient to the activities I was doing on the beach. Would stay again.

This was my beach escape for a week and I loved every second. I was going to stay 3 days and ended up staying the whole week.

Perfect spot for beach holiday, a bit costy restaurant, good kitchen, toilet and bathroom. I enjoyed my stay there. Lots of nice hammocks to relax.

The hostel is nice and well kept. AC and wifi is great! Hostel food and bar is a bit pricey, but food was great! Bike rental on premise and close to other beaches and restaurants. Staff was super nice too. Definitely recommend!

There is a lot to do in puerto viejo. Different restaurants and a market not far. Playa 506 is directly on the beach which is great and it’s beautiful. Located near other hostels which is nice. Everything is walkable, or you can rent a bike, or scooters, or taxi. I like that the hostel had a restaurant/ bar very combined when other places in town were not open as early.

Had a blast!
Had an absolute blast at Playa 506. The location straight on the beach is incredible, both for just going out for a swim but also to watch the incredible sunrises in the morning. The women in the reception are also so helpful and kind. There was a party in Bocos, Panama, the weekend I was staying but the vibe was still cool, the Sunday when people were coming back it became straight away even more social which was a nice way to finish off my stay. The only downer for this place is that there’s no free coffee in the morning. The facilities are also alright, I’ve been to hostels with better/cleaner kitchen facilities but it was still alright. Would highly recommend to stay!

The staff was extremely unhelpful to almost everyone I encountered. Bordering on rude. It was very noisy. The people above us sounded like they were coming through our floor. We took some friends to eat snacks and get 1 drink at the restaurant and it was outrageously expensive. We ate at Koki twice and it wasn't that expensive. Even though this property has a great location at Playa Cocles, I won't stay here again.

hostel agréable avec accès direct a la plage, personnels sympa et agréables. Toute fois notre chambre était bruyante quelque soit l'heure de la nuit et il y a plusieurs fois des odeurs nauséabonde. les prix du bar, petit déjeuner et repas son correct et la cuisine et bonne pour le Costa Rica

Buena ubicación, ya que se encuentra a la orilla de la playa y cerca de muchos restaurantes y comercios. Ambiente relajado y sensación de comunidad con los otros huéspedes. Se me hizo un poco caro en relación a lo que ofrecía.

4/10 Fair

Leider etwas dreckig. Auch war unsere Matratze sehr durchgelegen. Alles etwas dunkel und schimmelig. Der Gemeinschaftskühlschrank ist widerlich. Die Managerin eher unfreundlich, daher habe ich mich auch nicht wohl gefühlt. Leider auch sehr weit ab von Schuss. Der Strand ist wunderschön und der Zugang dorthin super! Fahrräder können unkompliziert und sicher ausgeliehen werden. Das hat gefallen. Dennoch würde ich nicht wieder kommen. Haben für zwei weitere Nächte in der Stadt eine andere Unterkunft gebucht, preislich gleich aber deutlich besser.

Mixed reaction
First the great part: the beach is right there and its just gorgeous. And the dogs were adorable. There is a community kitchen so you can cook and the atmosphere is nice. The not-so-good: our room was very stuffy and had a foul smell. When we asked the unconcerned receptionist she said there were no more rooms available. The blurb promised free parking and housekeeping. The parking was public parking on the side of a busy street and the housekeeping evidently occurs in between guests.And my husband got a beer and was charged $5 which is a lot for a place with a sand floor. We did have fun though. The room, mattress and pillows werent nice but the beachside setting surely is.

Ich habe gefragt ob es möglich wäre, dass ich mir am Abreisetag schon etwas früher als die Frühstückszeiten sind, ein Frühstück to go zusammenstellen darf. Am nächsten Tag hat die Küchenfrau mir ein mega Frühstückspaket überreicht! Reis mit Bohnen/Omlett mit Brötchen/Wassermelone und eine Banane. Mega! :) Das war mein Frühstück & Mittagessen weils so viel war :)
