Overview

Description

we're happy you dropped by. sit down and relax, take a load off. it's easy to fall into a tropical rhythm in a place where thatched roof dwellings like chozas, ranchos & palapas exist. They are an essential ingredient of the historical & contemporary Osa lifestyle. They are simplicity, functionality and beauty all rolled into a really fine piece of work. you'll notice the tropical flavour of la palapa hut as soon as you enter .

spending time inside palapas, chozas, ranchos and tents helps reduce stress. nature has a great way of doing that. at la palapa hut we invite you to enjoy the abundance of flora and fauna. We charge a couple of bucks more than an average hostel on a noisy street in the center of town, but believe us when we say, you really should treat yourself to a this super tropical experience for such a great price.

extraordinary flora and fauna can be found throughout the property. look for the crocodile, find the hidden pond, spot the toucan and listen to the loud squawks of the vibrant multicolored lapas. Hit the bridge lounge for a great selfie with the croc and remember always walk with your camera. Then blast those moments into the digital world on our free wifi.

We recently finalized the purchase of 235 hectares or almost 600 acres of primary rain forest on the Osa Peninsula. We have become carbon neutral, a long time family and business goal. Guests can now hike and/or camp in town, the rainforest or on the beach, so ask us about excursion options by contacting us through this site or during check-in.

What a surprise!

We were planning to stay one night at the tent, but prolonged our visit for three more as the Palapa turned to be more comfortable than we expected. In the morning chat with owner itself, Andrew, we upgraded the camping to the private tent with our own shower for less than the fried banana price! All Team is very helpful and nice. The Hostel is taken care of and very clean. Don't worry about the nearby airport - the sound of departuring/arriving plane is more exciting than annoying. I do recommend to pass by Palapa Hut Hostel & Camping on your further way exploring beautiful Costa Rica!

It means a lot to all of us at 'La Palapa Hut' & 'Escape to the Tropics' to read your words K. Thanks for visiting us here on the Osa & may you both continue to enjoy your tropical adventure. Once again thanks for the kind words and for spreading the Palapa's good vibe! Pura Vida, Andrew

Great Place!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here and extended two or three times staying about a week. Clean facilities and well maintained. All the staff were really nice. Coffee all day - oh my goodness thank you so much! Beautiful grounds. This was a great place to base from and we would recommend. Thank you guys for all the hard work and wish you all the best.

It's great to read that our guests continue to extend their stays. To be truthful, it's really hard not to extend when everything just clicks and that happens sometimes without a doubt! Thanks for the visit and kind words Tiffany. Pura Vida, Jacqueline, Andrew y todo el equipo de La Palapa Hut y Escape to the Tropics.

Amazing

This is a really great hostel in Puerto Jimenez. We went there to see the Corcovado National Park and booked the tour they offered in the hostal. Our guide was Beni, who took us to a remote cabin deep in the jungle from which we could see into corcovado. He cooked on the fire for us, and we slept under the Stars. Great value, we can definitely recommend it.

Nico happy to read that all went well in the jungle. We agree that the Trek & Camping Tour to the Osa Interior is great value. We just need to spread the good word. We'll let Beni know that you were super happy. Pura Vida from the entire Gang @ Escape to the Tropics.

Fantastic staff, location and facilities. Highly recommended

“I enjoyed my stay at Palapa Hut Hostel and Camping. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful. Check in was easy and they stored my luggage when I arrived early. The staff cheerfully recommended restaurants, activities, supermarkets and helped me to order dinner. The hostel has a great big kitchen, complimentary fresh hot coffee, tea, and cold water all day. Reception was staffed 24 hours. The location is fantastic. Literally 3 minute walk off the airstrip (but no noise from planes as very few flights in/out of Puerto Jimenez). Also only 5-10 minute walk into town. WiFi available in rooms and reception was great too. The room and bed were comfortable and accurate in property photos. The room had aircon, but I did not need it. Big common area, couches, dining area, ping-pong tables. Definitely recommended for backpackers, adventure or eco travellers, honeymooners, etc. I would like to give the tents a go next time!”

Come back anytime and give the tents a go Maddy! Pura Vida, The Whole Gang @ La Palapa Hut & Escape to the Tropics
