    Nothing.

    The hostel is newly build/renovated, with a bar. The bar is right at beach, all food/drinks are super tasty and hostel clients get a 10% off. There will be a volunteer/staff speaking English at reception, helping with check-in/out and related services. One of my favorites is that they will open AirCondition if you require it during day time. All staffs are super nice and friendly, me and my friend enjoyed our stay and if there's another chance will definitely go!

    Ac too strong for this size of a room. Area with bathrooms and showers is too hot, ac should be there instead. Can be very loud on weekends from bars around with music on until late. No communal area, except at the bar, which can feel a bit awkward if you’re not consuming anything.

    Great bunk bed, spacious. Unbeatable location right on the beach. Really kind staff.

    Best place I have stayed so far in Mexico 🫶🏽 Waking up and walking straight towards the sea through that dreamy restaurant is amazing. Rooms are clean and very comfortable, restaurant has nice food and affordable prices. Plus all staff were incredible they have spoiled me so much 🩷 specially Jonathan he is great, always with the best vibes and good recommendations at the restaurant.

    Cozy and clean hostel with a great location

    They turned off the AC of the women’s dorm at a certain time of the day making it impossible to stay in the room. The staff took a while to clean plates and glasses after every meal, that’s not super bad, but it’s messy. There is practically no common place for the hostel guests. Also more activities to meet other guests would be nice.

    That staff was super friendly. Carmen and Juan mostly. The food was good, the location is great directly at the beach and near bars, restaurants and clubs. The place was always super clean and very cozy.

    rooms are bed are very comfortable, clean and nice, staff is amazing, they organize activities and share time with guests, the bar has great drinks and food is also really good.

    There was no kitchen, nowhere to relax except your bed, yes it is 50m from the beach but an extremely rough surf beach which no one swims at. A 40 minute walk to the beach that everyone swims at. Not social.

    Extremely clean, lovely bed pods and room, clean toilets and showers, lovely space.

    The hostel is only 2x 6 bed dorms attached to a beach club/bar. This means there is no kitchen, no hostel common area, etc and therefore doesn’t have much of a social vibe

    Bed was comfortable and thick walls made the room quiet Beds were made every day and rooms were kept clean

    Very beautiful hostel with flaws that should be improved.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    There are some details that should be improved as it is a pity for this beautiful place to leave a negative feeling when leaving: • entering/exiting the dorm room always comes with a loud beeping or even computer voice from the automated door lock which does not guarantee a good nights sleep • horrible huge pillows • loved that the dorm beds have curtains for some privacy but unfortunately they were not long enough to cover the whole bed front, also adding simple Velcro to attach the ends to the bed so less light comes in would be superb •no idea who came up with the idea to put glass doors to the dorms everyone can have a look into. At least make it partially frosted glass • door „locks“ of showers and toilets don’t really do their jobs as the doors still open enough to show what happens inside when trying to simply push them to see if they are occupied. Not cool. All things that can be improved for the future, would be a bummer for such a pretty place in such a great location to not make it in the long run because of this details.

    Great location at the beach, very great design, clean and friendly staff.
