    outdoor kitchen
    vibrant garden
    cold showers
    disruptive noise

    Karandi's outdoor kitchen brings the magic of fresh, local flavors straight to your plate. The lush garden blooms with wildlife, making morning coffee a vibrant delight. Plus, the beautifully clean communal space makes for some great bonding with fellow foodies!

    The only hiccup? Cold showers after a long Uvita day.

    wild garden
    comfortable beds

    beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    The hostel features a stunning wild garden where I spotted toucans and iguanas while sipping my morning coffee. The beds in the dorm were surprisingly comfortable, and the outdoor showers added a unique touch to my experience. I loved being just a 10-minute walk from the beach, allowing for effortless access to sun and surf!

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    humidity discomfort
    noise disturbance

    well-stocked kitchen, beautiful wild garden, chill out area with hammocks

    No A/C means unbearable heat!!! The open dorm layout allows noise to permeate everywhere, and the lack of curtains on the beds creates a less-than-ideal sleeping environment!!!

    beautiful garden
    friendly staff
    comfy beds
    limited food storage

    10/10

    The gardens were just a delight, watchin' toucans and frogs while sippin' my coffee on the terrace was pure magic. Beds were comfy, and bless your heart, the staff were as friendly as a summer sunset. Just wish the kitchen had some smaller food storage options, but truly, that ain't a deal breaker. I’ll be back, for sure!

    breakfast options
    noise from dorms

    My stay at Karandi Hostel was delightful. The lush garden, filled with wildlife such as toucans and iguanas, made mornings magical as I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace. The friendly staff was always available to assist with travel plans, creating a warm atmosphere.

    Limited breakfast options if staying long-term.

    broken chairs
    cramped space

    I thought I was getting a room with amazing amenities, but instead got stuck in a cramped space. The noise levels were unbearable, and I woudl ve been appreciative of a special welcome gift for my troubles, but alas, nothing. Just a standard stay like everyone else. Disappointing doesn’t even begin to cover it.

    tasty food
    tour organization

    The garden area was ideal for relaxation. spotted iguanas and various birds while enjoying flavorful dishes from the restaurant. Staff were incredibly helpful in organizing excursions.

    A little more attention to organization is needed for booked tours.

    relaxed atmosphere
    comfy nooks
    friendly travelers
    lack of food storage

    I had a fantastic time here, enjoying the great relaxed atmosphere and meeting friendly fellow travelers. With some comfy nooks for lounging and easy access to the beach, it was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The only bummer was the lack of smaller food storage options in the kitchen, but that didn’t take away from my awesome experience! 😊

    vibrant garden
    comfy dorms
    no air conditioning
    open dorm noise
    limited vegan options

    The lush garden provided an amazing atmosphere, filled with wildlife like toucans and iguanas. The kitchen, equipped with a gas stove and blender, was a joy for cooking, complemented by the well-kept dorm with fresh, comfy beds. However, the lack of air conditioning made nights a bit warm, and the sounds from the open dorm setup were sometimes disruptive. Also, while the restaurant next door offered excellent breakfast, it had limited vegan options.
