Great location, beautiful beach. We noticed this time that the beach gets cleaned every day by the staff of the hotel which we find really fantastic. The place is pet and environment friendly. The food is very tasty. It's a perfect spot to hang out and relax and have a good time. We'll be back.

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Nice hostel in Palmarcito beach with a pool. Nice boardwalk from the beach to playa La Leona and some pools. 1 night was good enough.

    I am happily returning to this hostel on my way back south. Bedside plugs, light and fan, well-equipped kitchen, very pleasant common area. Super friendly and knowledgeable owners: they know their shuttles, local and next-town buses and attractions and give very personalized help. Thumbs up.

    A really relaxing hostel. The owners are lovely and helpful. Very attractive grounds. Enjoyed numerous swims in the pool during my short stay. Excellent wifi. Plenty of seating - and hammocks - both in front of and behind the hostel building. Comfortable dorms with individual fans, lights and power points. Very good kitchen/cooking facilities.

    The place has a great location, a great atmosphere in the surroundings.. However, the hospitality was what we appreciated it the most. Elisabeth, the property manager. Definitely goes the extra mile in any situation and makes you feel not only comfortable but at home. Thank you once again for the lovely time we had there. Will come again next year!
