룸2보드 호스텔 앤드 서프 스쿨

My partner and I have been staying at Room2Board annually for at least ten years. We are 65 and 71 now, usually the oldest people there, but we still enjoy it. It's only two hours from San Jose. The private rooms on the third floor have views of the ocean and are just far enough away from the late night music. Rooms are always clean and the staff of young people are friendly. The swimming pool is very nice, especially in the afternoon when it's hot. It's also nice to have the option of meals downstairs, and a bar if you want an evening drink without walking into town. Right next door is one of our favorite restaurants, The Point - great seafood on the beach. Brian, the owner, is a friendly and helpful ex-pat.

Fantastic stay with the Room2Board Hostel and Surf School. The rooms and facilities were always clean and well maintained. The kitchen and social area was open early until late which helped a lot for planning meals while traveling. The staff was amazing and the surf instructing class was incredibly helpful. (It helped that the beach is a minute away through the backyard!) Plan to stay here and take a surf class with Cesar!

Everything here was amazing. All the small details were exactly as one would want them to be. Favourite part: Surf instructor Ron! Such a genuine and talented teacher!! Great guy with a big smile and good humour. The general service of people here was so good. Such a lively mood on everyone and smiles around every corner. Good for people who wish to surf, relax, party and whatever you want. The rooms were quality. I stayed in a private, which had great AC, bathroom and was so clean. The cleanliness around the hostel in general is superb. I recommend anyone who goes to Jaco to go here. P.S they have nice toilet paper🙏🙏🙏

Being a surf hostel, the place is run by young 20 year olds. Which is just something to be aware of in terms of the professionalism and unwarranted sassyness lol. I also thought it was a little pricey compared to its competitors in the area. It wasn’t very busy when my friend and I stayed and it gave off a very cliquey vibe. Other than that it’s literally steps away from the beach and is within reasonable walking distance to the rest of Jacó. Also loved the ample parking for our rental car.

This is the best hostel in town. As a solo traveller in my early 50's, I wasn't sure if a hostel was the right fit. To my surprise, there were many other people there in similar situations. I stayed for almost 6 weeks. The hostel is exceptionally clean. The housekeeping and maintenance staff are amazing. There is a great swimming pool, bar and a small restaurant on site serving breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The bar and reception staff are so much fun. The location is perfect. The beach is one minute walk up the laneway. The main street is 3-4 minute walk where you will find coffee shops, local sodas, groceries, pharmacies, shops and car rental. Everything you need is within walking distance. The hostel has many types of accommodations to serve a group of younger people, single women sharing and couples who prefer privacy. They hold great theme nights, but do not worry, the music is off by 11:00pm. They support an amazing volunteer program hosting young people from all over the world. I had so many amazing roommates while staying there. What a great experience. They have a great tour desk and surfing team to help you with your lessons. Brian (the owner) is very sincere. Always introducing himself to new guests and making sure that every guest's stay is perfect. I have told everyone I know to add this place to their bucket list. Yes, I ABSOLUTELY will return next year, and 100% recommend this accommodation. Room2Board is fantastic.

Large room, huge lockers, super comfy beds, bathroom inside room…and very clean! Can’t ask for more from hostel and yet they have great roof terrace overlooking ocean and a great pool too! Friendly and helpful staff and a convenient cafe/bar right on the premises.
