    the location was perfect, right on the beachfront, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful ocean views whenever I wanted. the highlight of my stay was the all, you, can, eat buffet dinners offered by the hostel. the food was absolutely delicious and the variety was impressive. As a solo female traveler, safety is always a priority for me, and I felt extremely safe here. the staff was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to assist me when I accidentally left my laptop at the hostel. They found it and even arranged for it to be sent to El Salvador for me. I am so grateful for their honesty and helpfulness.

    My experience at this hostel was amazing, and I would definitely choose to stay here again. Cons: No complaints.

    As car travelers, we loved the on-site parking facility and the close proximity to the beach. the palapa and hammocks provided a perfect place to relax, and we enjoyed renting surfboards directly from the hostel. the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the restaurant had delicious food. the evening events and family dinners made it easy to meet people and have a great time.

    Felt very happy, no complaints.

    Great value for money, with all-you-can-eat buffet dinners and plenty of amenities like a swimming pool, volleyball court, and workout area. Amazing beachfront location, perfect for solo female travelers and anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable stay. The staff went above and beyond to help me retrieve my misplaced laptop, which I am extremely grateful for.

    The only thing that could make breakfast better would be to offer more variety and options.

    The private room was comfortable and clean, and the shared bathrooms had amazing outdoor showers. The inclusive after-dinner activities like beer olympics and trivia were a lot of fun, and the staff, especially Rusty, T, BJ. The themed family dinners with different cuisines every night were a great addition.

    None mentioned.
