Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Love this hostel! It’s only a 10min walk to the beach.The availability of a private room and the space to socialise was great. It’s family run and they make you feel super comfortable as a solo female traveler. They are so helpful with booking excursions (which are much cheaper than the prices you get anywhere else.)

    Absolutely exceptional in every regard. Great location and great price. I liked everything about my stay there. The place is its own little oasis (with high level of privacy), clean and cozy and very close to the beach. I felt very safe there. The owner (Bianny) and the property manager (Angel) are very nice, and super friendly. Once again, I felt very comfortable and can not wait to go there again...

    Great location and great price. I liked everything about my stay. The place is its own little oasis, very close to Bibijagua beach (about 200 meters)! I felt very safe there. Franklin, the property manager, is a decent guy with a good knowledge of the world and politics! He's super friendly and down to earth. Once again I felt very comfortable and can't wait to go back there.
