Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Cute little happy family that runs the hostal, makes you happy to just observe. Also, a bar where you can buy some snacks and beers. Cheap pizza place close by. Groceries shopping is a bit harder, but cheap as well.

    Accomodating staff. Great location- best value for money around. We paid a little more for the ocean front room and it was so worth while.

    It's a nice, cheap and calm hostel. It was really great for meeting people. There's lots of hammocks, the kitchen is decent, you can pick mangos from the garden and the pets are really friendly. It's located in a more local area, the beach and El Tunco are close by as well as some shops and nice pupuserías.
