This was one of our favourite stays. If you love the hostel vibe, this place is it. The property is beautifully maintained with lush greenery, the bar attracts a mix of locals and tourists, and we really enjoyed the food and drinks. We ended up cancelling another reservation and returning here for a second night. The vibe was amazing on a Saturday night, with great music and people. We loved lounging in the hammocks and playing ping pong. The staff is great, just make sure if you’re reserving a taxi ahead of time, that you ask for a registered taxi, otherwise they may be inclined to give the business to a friend who may not be very punctual, which isn’t ideal if you have a bus to catch.

Looking for a hostel?

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.

    Outdoor & indoor shower (hot and cold water!!), multiple bathrooms, full equipped kitchen. Beds were very private although it was in a dorm. AC was very cold in rooms which made sleeping great. Staff is very friendly and helpful & free breakfast :) lots of cats and a couple dogs hanging around. Bar, pool, pool table, and amazing community space onsite. Favorite hostel I’ve been to. Would definitely stay again.

    The hostel is very aesthetically pleasing and the upper viewing deck was really special! Our room was so comfy and cosy, with the added bonus of AC!! Overall this is a very nice hostel with decent facilities. It's extremely chill so don't come here if you're expecting to meet loads of new people and/or party. That was fine for us but we found it hard to talk to people as the vibe was more so silence and chill rather than chit chat and social!

    A very nice hostel with really nice dorms. Your own privat loft in a dormitory, with nice lights, a secure place in your loft to charge your phone, privat curtains and comfortable airco. At the roof they build a really nice 'relax area' and some co-work places. Everything they do, they do it with love. You can see that in the details. But mostly you can feel it in the atmosphere. They just want to bless....and in my days there...people started to do the same. It was such a blessed time. Thank you so much! Monique

    The location was great together with the facilities and open spaces. Comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms, two kitchens with good atmosphere, great pool and lounge area. Probably the best hostels overall that I’ve stayed at.

    The owners Tom and Nick are very friendly and helpful. They help with booking tours and drove us to the bus terminal when we checked out. The hostel is quite small but you meet new people all the time. It is also only a few minutes from the beach and right next door there is a small supermarket and some restaurants. I can only recommend the stay and will be happy to come back. Pura vida.
