Overall an affordable stay

7.0

The outside bed, the terrace, the surf classes, the rooms with AC

The kitchen was really dirty and the fridge was a total mess, they cleaned it after a few days, the toilet was weak, the atmosphere was sometimes really weird because there were many old men (not the fault of the hostel)

Best surf instructor and hostel you’ll find

10.0

Took 4 surf lessons with the hostel owner who made me feel very safe and capable as a non-swimmer. The hostel is beautiful with tons of lounging areas, and it’s really easy to meet people and make friends. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and at ease at all times.

Me encanta la cercanía que tiene el hostal, a restaurantes y supermercados, y también de la playa. Las personas son muy amables!! Lo recomiendo al 100%
