Loved this place so much that I returned for a second visit two years later. I stayed in the dorms and private rooms. I was a bit surprised reading some of the reviews. I first want to say that they are one of the cheapest places for dorms and private rooms located so close to the beach. There's a private path from the hostel straight to the beach that feels very cozy. Lots of lounge space for mingling and meeting people or ducking off in a hammock and hiding from everyone. The first time I visited, cleanliness could have been improved, but I feel like it was still much better than other places in the area and you just couldn't beat the price and location. This last visit I saw I vast improvement in cleanliness. I think they remodeled some, too. They def do a good wipe down every day of all the main areas and my private room was amazing. Really the best deal in the area. I spent hours searching for other places trying to find cheaper/better deals with clean, private rooms and nothing compares to this place and it's convenient location. The pool is really a major bonus and was very clean. WiFi was great and also much better than the first time I stayed there. They have two different boosters this time so WiFi reaches the rooms better. I was able to make Skype calls with no issues whatsoever. Staff was very helpful. They also rent surfboards and offer help with other tours and shuttles. Some reviews mentioned that the staff was hardly ever there, but I don't think so. This is Central America folks! You can't expect the same work ethics as Germany... People don't stand at attention 24/7 here. It's too hot and laid back for that. If you want someone waiting on you constantly then go somewhere else, and pay more. If you're looking for a chill, surfer hostel for a great price, where lots of friendly travelers come to have a good time, then this is your place.

Nice small hostel with a chilled pool area and neat private rooms. They have a self catering kitchen and great location - beach, laundry, small super market, restaurants and bars are all located within 100m. A downside is the poorly equipped kitchen and ants everywhere. Still enjoyed our stay a lot!
