  1. Coming on the San José–Jacó bus? Ask the driver to let you off at the corner of Calle Bohío — the stop on the main street is about 50 m from the hostel.
  2. Cross the main street and walk toward the beach: the hostel is on your right.
  3. Look for the hand-painted surfer sign — and the micro-bus with surfboards on the office roof.
