COSTA RICA HOSTELS MAL PAISI have cautioned on other Costa Rica hostels pages that some do not accept credit cards (not to mention giving some great tips). If you missed those pages head back to the Costa Rica Hostels main page (link is towards the bottom).
Getting There and MoreMal Pais/Santa Teresa sit on the southern Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula.Typically, people drive or take a bus to Puntarenas, then take a short (very inexpensive) ferry ride across to the peninsula, then drive or take a bus or cab to Mal Pais/Santa Teresa. If you are on a budget (after all, you are reading about hostels and cheap Costa Rica hotels), I strongly recommend taking a bus. They are cheap (about $5.00 from San Jose), comfortable, and normally pretty fast. To help you, here are
