Featuring a garden, restaurant and views of garden, Ecohotel Arte y Aventura is located in Isla Grande, 500 metres from Playa Libre. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a water park. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire is available at the hostel.

The location is perfect, we were away from the overly crowded party areas and got to see many birds and iguanas as a result. The staff were lovely and super helpful. The swimming dock next to the property was a highlight. The snorkeling tour was outstanding, a once in a lifetime experience. They offered meals at the property and the food was delicious, such a treat after hiking and swimming all day. A place like this restores anyone’s faith in what sustainable tourism can be like.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location close to the beach, dock and nature with a rustic, relaxed vibe. It is easy to walk to local shops and a couple of cafes and to go snorkelling, exploring by bike or boat or just switch off.

    Amazing location on the beach with lots of areas to sunbathe and relax by the water Lots of activities organised by the hostel - we LOVED canoing at dusk and seeing the bioluminescent plankton in the lake and also through the mangroves in the dark. An unforgettable experience. The place itself is clean and the food served is delicious.

    The Secreto is indeed a little paradise. Nice hostel complex with pool and hammocks. Beautyful little private beach and possibility to cool down in the water, but also to swim. Really wellcoming staff make you feel good. Breakfast was good, other meals ok, but space for improvement

    A really down to earth, fun eco-hostel that was more attuned to the landscape and environment compared with some of the more garish resorts on the island. Lavi and her staff are incredibly helpful hosts. The bar/restaurant is surprisingly good, and the various activities are fun and reasonably priced! Great snorkeling close by. The private room we stayed in was not luxurious, but wonderful and overlooking the water and sunset. Would definitely come back here!

    The sea and the views. We booked in to jungle cabin for one night after our first 3 nights and that one was much nicer, cheaper and also not in the jungle??? But on the other gorgeous beach. Theire are only two jungle cabins and both are nice. The staff are friendly except one miserable guy on the desk. He never smiled once. The other owner (blonde female) gave us 20% of our booking due to all the issues in the first cabin. Manicured grounds. Beach furniture is really nice.

    Lovely location, hostel staff were brilliant and very friendly, the activities (Subwing, bioluminescence, kayak) were really fun, there was a good buzz around the pool area during the day, seemed like the best hostel for young people on the island, walking to the beach across the island was only about 20 mins

    Very friendly staff and great location: The sea is a dream and you can do snorcelling just in front of the hostel. The hostel is doing projects to rescue the corals, this are very lovely people. The rooms are very simple but clean, price-performance is super!
