This was a great choice to stay at this accommodation. It is perfectly located , I get groceries downstairs ( convenient for when it's raining ) and walk across the street with my surfboard and am at the beach !!  Center of town with everything within walking distance . Also the place is clean and friendly, couldn't ask for anything more!

Great place

The owner of the slow monkey is an awesome dude. Very hospitable and super friendly. Comfortabke living spaces with affordable private rooms and cheap dorms. Close to some good surf breaks, grocery stores and everything else you need. Super chill vibe and pool table to fill in the blanks! We stayed for a week and felt veey much at home! Highly recommended

Rad spot! Great vibes!

The owner and staff were all very helpful and relaxed. It was in a great location, very close to the beach and directly above a supermarket. There was a small pool and an outdoor area. Good kitchen facilities and bathrooms. Rooms were quite small but it didn't bother me. I felt very welcome!

Clean and very relaxed

I love coming to slow monkey hostel  when I go surfing in mal país because it has a great energy and I love the people at the hostel. Allan, the manager, was super welcoming and really helped me getting to know the area. He hosted bbqs and dinners everytime there was a lot of people at the hostel and he brought everyone together. I got to know so many people and felt really safe. It's great because it's also right next to adrenaline surf and LoLo is the best surf coach. So I'd wake up and if I had a lesson planned I could just wait out in front until Lolo showed up and we would be out on the water in no time.
The hostel had a little pool and it's crazy but it's solo useful... after surfing, just jumping in there and relaxing is the best thing 😍

Surfing trip paradise

I had a great time and met lots of new friends , ended up taking some trips together. Danny always knows whats going on and can help you plan anywhere you need to go. The kitchen is big and there is a lot of room to hang out outside on the sun deck. Being right above the supermarket is a big plus and Banana beach is a few steps down the road, best place to hang out at sunset. Its safe and well lit around the area at night and fun just to hang out on the balcony and watch people go by. 

Great place to stay

I stayed twice in Slow Monkey and made friends with the owner Dani.
Really enjoyed my stay. The hostel is just a few steps to Playa Carmen, one of the best places to surf and to see sunset in Costa Rica. Downstairs there is a big supermarket and you can get everything there.
The hostel has a very chill atmosphere, the guys who work there are very cool and pura vida.
Highly recommended!!!

Excelente stay! steps to the beach!

I think that slow monkey was really beautiful pre-Covid. The pictures online are more beautiful then the real thing. Not every room has a working air condition unit. No room had window ventilation. Our room was a 4 bed dorm, with no working air flow. Normally no problems. However, our bunk mate hadn’t showered in quite some time. He was incredibly smelly. The fan spread dispersed his funky stench throughout the room and into our bags. The bathroom are cleaned, however I’ve never smelled cleaning products.  The pool is not working as well. 

Positive Side: There was wonderful family style  bbq on Saturday, and a great way to meet people. If you are musician and want to play and sing, that happens in the den every night. 420 friendly.
