Situated in Uvita, 3 km from Uvita Beach, Shipwrecked Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Located around 13 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, the hostel is also 29 km away from Nauyaca Waterfalls. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are available. The owner is very friendly, thoughtful, and caring. In my case he even went out of his way (since I had two large suitecases, a backpack, and a couple shopping bags from in between moves locally) to store my stuff and bump me up to an open double bed with two lockers. The two lockers also helped me store my quiet juicer so I could juice quietly in the kithen while others were asleep in the next room. The volunteers and guests all seemed happy with the accomodations, and everyone got along well, partly due to the environment created by our host. Thank you so much, Sander.

The units in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. Complete with a shared bathroom, the rooms at The Cafecito Surfhouse - Santa Teresa are fitted with air conditioning, and certain rooms are fitted with a seating area. All units will provide guests with a fridge. The house is very clean and they thought about every detail. Nothing was missing. I really enjoyed my stay and would always come back. The location so close to the center and beach make it the perfect place to stay.

I totally recommend this place!
