One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! It’s super spacious and surrounded by nature. There’s also a yoga studio, outdoor gym, hammocks, and a very comfortable common area. Also spacious for keeping your food in the fridge/cupboards. The staff are so so friendly and kept you in the loop with activities in the area, overall great vibes. Sad I have to leave!

I love everything about it. The gardens are great, full of lizards, frogs, sometimes sloths, agoutis, and other animals. The kitchen, reception area, and other sitting spots are nice and cozy. The staff, volunteers, and owners are wonderful, and the overall vibe is chill. The location is excellent, just a 1‑5 minute walk or bike ride to several beaches and the town center. My favorite hostel ever—I ended up staying eleven weeks! It truly feels like home away from home.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Whenever we needed something, they helped us with everything. We also liked the whatsapp group with a lot of activities. We had a private room and it was very pretty and spacious. Maybe that it doesn‘t have AC. 🙈

The spot is right in the middle of everything and the front desk team was welcoming, with plenty of parking space to boot. However, the room itself left a lot to be desired – it was noticeably dirty and seemed poorly maintained. Good location, but the cleanliness needs work.
