    The air-conditioned apartment was cozy with a separate bedroom and a comfortable living room. I loved relaxing in the soothing coolness after a long day of exploring.

    Personally, I found the shared bathroom in the air-conditioned double room a little inconvenient. However, it might not bother others who don't mind sharing.

    During our stay at Ico Living, we were amazed by the incredible location just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great restaurants. The atmosphere and vibe of the hostel were exactly what we needed for a fantastic vacation. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the staff, especially Marco, were friendly and helpful. We even ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much.

    I always stay at this hostel. The staff helped me at night with a water bottle when I arrived. It has free Wi-Fi, parking, and a fully equipped kitchen. The beach is nearby, and it has luggage storage. Suitable for my business trips.

    The property had a garden, free parking, and a shared lounge. It was like staying in a paradise with a parking lot and a place to chill with strangers.

    I just loved not having any cons, because who doesn't enjoy perfection?

    This hostel blew my mind! The brand new facilities are super social, just a short walk to the beach but quiet. The spacious dorm with double beds was a luxurious touch while traveling. The owner, Marco, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations and connections in the area. The hostel's location was amazing, tucked away from noise but close to delicious places to eat. The well-equipped kitchen, clean common area, and huge comfy beds made for an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

    We had an amazing stay at this hostel in Playa Santa Teresa. The dorm room was spacious and had double size beds, which were incredibly comfortable. The air conditioning in the room kept us cool during the hot nights. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and very clean, with plenty of space for everyone to cook at the same time. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist us with any questions or concerns. The location of the hostel was perfect, just a 3-minute walk to the beach and a 5-minute walk to the supermarket. this hostel provided us with a fantastic experience, thanks to its cleanliness, facilities, friendly staff, and convenient location.

    Not obvious to find.

    The hostel was amazing! Everything was new and comfortable, from the firm mattresses to the spacious kitchen and nice bathrooms. the location was great too, just a few steps away from the busy main road but still close to the beach. the staff, especially Marco, was incredibly helpful and always happy to assist. Plus, there were always friendly people to chat with and hammocks to relax in.

    The lack of air conditioning in the private rooms. Although the powerful fan provided some relief, with the temperatures in Santa Teresa, AC would have been more beneficial.

    I couldn't be happier with my stay at Ico Living. The value for money was incredible, with a clean and modern room that had air-con and comfortable beds. The location was spot-on, just a short walk from the beach and close to great restaurants and a supermarket. The staff, including the friendly owner Marco, were always helpful and made me feel welcome.

    The morning meal could have been better with more variety.

    As a guest traveling by car, I really appreciated the on-site parking at the hostel. It made it convenient and hassle-free for us to come and go as we pleased.

    Felt like a VIP, no reason to complain.

    Mind-blowingly beautiful, with a huge and comfortable outdoor space to chill. The kitchen is fully equipped and massive, making cooking a breeze. The spacious room had the comfiest beds we've ever slept in while traveling. The area was clean and well-designed, with great wifi. The staff were immediately friendly and the location was superb, just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by restaurants, bars, a supermarket, and ATM. Highly recommended, we hope to return one day!

    Stayed at a so-called "exceptional" hostel with a "garden" and "free parking". Wow, what a luxury! And don't get me started on the "shared lounge". Can't imagine a better place to relax with strangers.

    No butlers to serve me tea? How disappointing.

    The apartment was cozy and comfortable, with a separate bedroom and a living room to relax in. I really enjoyed the air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the heat. The double room had a nice seating area and a patio, allowing me to unwind while enjoying the inner courtyard view. The shared bathroom was clean and convenient. Some rooms even had a patio, adding a touch of outdoor space to enjoy during the stay. It was a nice addition to have.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the shared bathroom in the double room. But hey, others might still appreciate it, so it's just my subjective opinion.

    Stayed at a new hostel with a garden and free parking, near great attractions like the beach, waterfalls, and an island. So much to do, I didn't even have time to enjoy them all.

    Oh, and who needs a microwave or oven anyway? Ordering takeout every day was such a joy.
