Oasis Beachfront Hostel & Campground — Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Wake up to the sound of the Caribbean, step onto the sand, and spend your days exploring one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful coastlines.
Oasis is a laid-back beachfront hostel in Puerto Viejo, surrounded by tropical gardens, wildlife and the unmistakable energy of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. We’re close enough to walk into town for restaurants, bars, music and nightlife — but far enough away to slow down, hang your hammock and listen to the jungle.
Come for the beach. Stay for the atmosphere.
Whether you’re travelling solo, meeting people along the way, or simply looking for somewhere relaxed to escape for a few days, Oasis is a place to make yourself at home. Share a meal in the kitchen, swap travel stories with other guests, explore the nearby beaches, or simply spend the afternoon doing absolutely nothing.
Whether you're travelling solo, with friends, or simply looking for a place to slow down by the Caribbean, we have a few different ways to stay.
Choose your spot. Drop your bags. Slow down. You're in the Caribbean.
A beachfront hostel with a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere, a great location, and the kind of place where it's easy to feel at home.
You don't have to walk to the beach: you're already there.Oasis sits right on the Caribbean coast, with Puerto Viejo town just a short walk away.
We're surrounded by tropical vegetation and wildlife. Sloths, monkeys and colourful birds are regular visitors, so don't be surprised if your morning coffee comes with a little wildlife watching.

Hammocks, communal spaces, the sound of the ocean and plenty of room to slow down. Oasis is about enjoying the simple things and taking life at Caribbean speed.
Travelling solo? You're unlikely to stay a stranger for long. Share a meal, a drink, a story or tomorrow's travel plans with people from all over the world.
Restaurants, cafés, bars, shops and the town's lively Caribbean atmosphere are all within easy walking distance — close enough to enjoy, far enough away to come back and relax.

Publicado en Google Deb PetitTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Beautiful place right off the beach. Very clean and the people were amazing. I'm really not into hostel this is my first time visiting it was shared rooms with men and women but everyone was respectful of your things and very chilled. Everything was walking distance of property. There are trail that lead right to the beach or town in both directions behind the hostelPublicado en Google Samuel van KeekenTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I spent 2 nights here and had a lovely stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and easy to approach. The backpacker's atmosphere is great for making friends and meeting new people. For those looking to have a good time or make memories, this is the place! PLUS, the hostel is right on the beach and close to town, and the new owner is incredibly friendly. Thank you so much for having me!Publicado en Google Rumi AliTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I spent 2 weeks at the Oasis beachfront hostel, it was a great experience for me & my 1st time staying at a hostel. I visited for a healthcare treatment & this place was located close to everything, making my trip easier. There’s tons of jungle wildlife that come through the hostel which is amazing.Publicado en Google Stephen StoneTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Oasis Hostel exceeded my expectations! The beachfront location, welcoming common areas, and well‑maintained facilities made for a fantastic stay. The shared kitchen is fully stocked, the beds include mosquito nets and personal fans, and both fresh water and hot showers are available. The new owners have clearly invested care into the property, and the staff and volunteers were consistently friendly and helpful. A great choice for travelers seeking an authentic Puerto Viejo experience. Mosquitos are plentiful, but that’s to be expected in the jungle environment.Publicado en Google Maile VargasTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. The time I spent here was absolutely phenomenal. I spent quite a bit of time at this beautiful hostel. Not only was the location close to town but it’s located right on the beach! How cool is that? The best part, you can see all kinds of animals here!! I had the privilege to meet the owners and talk with the volunteers, everyone was so kind and made me feel right at home. Any questions or information I needed, they were always there to help out. I am a laid back person so I really appreciated how quiet and calm the hostel is, especially after a long trip. Overall, this place was amazing and it made my trip more enjoyable. :)Publicado en Google kk jjTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I was there a month ago. The hostel was being renovated, the owner was very friendly, there was a great vibe, and it’s an excellent place to get into the water. I highly recommend this place.Publicado en Google EleTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. L'ostello oltre ad essere il più economico della zona è anche in una posizione strategica: -vicino al centro della città da una parte (5 Min a piedi dal centro della movida), 🔝 - abbastanza lontano da non sentire la musica dei locali 💤 - a 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia principale della città (dalla parte opposta rispetto al centro)⛱️ - immerso nella giungla giusto davanti al mare, così da godersi il rumore delle onde e della natura prima di addormentarsi.🐢Publicado en Google Hanna FojcikTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I highly recommend this hostel. It Has a great atmosphere and location. You can often spot sloths near the hostel. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay three times! The owner creates an amazing atmosphere at the hostel, who is very sociable, funny, and helpful. I would love to come back in the future!Publicado en Google MinaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. A very nice and cozy hostel! Clean kitchen, wifi was always working, showers and bathrooms were good! Good location. Was a bit hesitant to book it when I saw some of the reviews but I decided to give it a shot anyways, and I’m glad I did! I really liked the vibe of the hostel. It recently got a new owner, and he is making some good improvements! I could not relate to any of the bad reviews, I think most of them are from the previous owner, so I don’t think they are relevant anymore. Would recommend:)
Oasis is a small, independent beachfront hostel in Puerto Viejo, built around one simple idea: life is better when you slow down a little.
We're right on the Caribbean, surrounded by tropical greenery and the wildlife that comes with it. Step outside and you might find yourself watching the waves, swinging in a hammock, meeting travellers from across the world — or spotting a sloth making its way through the trees.
Puerto Viejo is just a short walk away, so you're close to the restaurants, bars, music, shops and beaches that make this part of Costa Rica so special. But when you come back to Oasis, the pace changes. There's room to relax, cook, meet people and simply enjoy being here.
We're not a big resort and we're not trying to be one. Oasis is about beach, nature, good people and Caribbean atmosphere:a place where you can arrive as a traveller and leave feeling like part of the family.
Come for the location. Stay for the vibe. Leave with a few stories.
There’s a lot more to Puerto Viejo than the beach outside Oasis.
From jungle waterfalls and wildlife to hidden beaches, Caribbean villages and adventures further down the coast, there’s plenty to explore.
We can help you arrange the most popular tours and activities in the area, or simply point you in the right direction if you prefer to explore independently.
We love Puerto Viejo because of the people who make it what it is.
Oasis works with small, independent businesses around town that we know and are happy to recommend to our guests. We're building a little network of local partners so you can discover some of the places we love — and, where possible, enjoy something extra just for staying at Oasis.
A local favourite, just a short walk from Oasis.
