Arenal Backpackers Resort

I’m so glad I booked to stay here! This is a friendly and spacious hostel with friendly staff and a great social atmosphere. The pool and jacuzzi are a great way to meet people and chat through the day (and into the evening). There is an also a large lounge area for sitting, chilling and drinking. The showers and toilets are in great condition and there is rarely a wait for them. I stayed in a private tent which was clean, spacious and had lighting and a charging point. It felt luxurious for a social hostel experience! The hostel is also very well located, across from a great food court, and next to a nice restaurant with a lovely bar area at night. 2 minutes walk and you’re surrounded by more cafes, bars and restaurants. The hostel staff were really friendly and helpful, and they have great tours you can book through them (no need to book anything before your visit!). Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough - only wish I could have stayed one more night!

We had a great time. The staff is very helpful and the other guests are very easygoing. The hostel itself is big and spacious and has great facilities like the hot tub and even a pool table. It is super easy to reach the city center from here and there is great restaurants in 5 minute distance. Couldn’t have been better.

We had an amazing stay at Arenal Backpackers Resort! The place is not only in a great location but also clean and modern. The staff is extremely friendly, they helped us a lot during our stay and also organized tours and excursions for us. Common areas like the pool table, the pool and the hot tub offer great opportunities to meet other travelers.
