    A perfect modern hostel! After travelling Latin America for 6 months this hostel was up there as one of the best that I had stayed in. It felt extremely clean and like a home. After struggling with many dirty and unequipped kitchens for months,...

    Steps away from the beach and friendly staff. The fact that they have a restaurant inside is really helpful for remote works that don't have to search food outside the hostel. The food is really good with amazing vegetarian options.

    The location is amazing, right next to the beach. Private room is cozy and comfortable but the best thing of this hostel are the infinite activities you can do and the vibes. Everyone is chilled enjoying this place that I’d like to call paradise....
