    “Me gustó Costa Rica! Las instalaciones están limpias y bien cuidadas, es fácil llegar desde la terminal en Uber y el sector es seguro. Tienen varios hospedajes: en uno están las habitaciones dobles y familiares, y en frente el hostel con habitaciones compartidas. En el hostel hay cocina y piscina, aunque me dio la sensación de que las instalaciones se veían un poco descuidadas y sucias. Aun así, puedes cocinar allí y usar las instalaciones. Nos guardaron el equipaje, teniendo en cuenta que regresamos en días próximos, en la casa de habitaciones privadas hay venta de bebidas y guarda equipaje, así como sala de espera y se ve limpio, se siente muy cómodo y bonito Tienen área de café y te en la recepción. Lo cual es 100/10 gratis para huéspedes, es es muy favorable.”
