Set in Las Tunas, a few steps from Las Tunas Beach, Hermanos Perdidos Surf offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel has a terrace and a hot tub. There are alot of places to stay around the world, and most of them are in it for the money - but not this one. I had no real desire to go to Las Tunas, but after backpacking around Ecuador and Peru for a while, all of the favorite people I met on the road seemed to have the exact same recommendation: Go to Onda Hostel. So I texted the hostel owners on Whatsapp, where they proceeded to be somehow genuinely interested in answering my millions of questions over text before I arrived, arranging for transport, and even picking me up a massive guanabana just because I casually mentioned once I'd like to try it. The beds are comfortable, the A/C is cool, and the coffee is endless, but it's truly the people that make this place great. The owners are passionate about building a community and they instill that same stoke in their volunteers. If you're looking to stay in a place with some atmosphere, there is none greater in the Americas. I booked at this hostel for two days and stayed on for weeks, only leaving because I had to. To my new friends that I've made at Las Tunas - Thank you, and I'll be back soon!

Set in Las Tunas, a few steps from Las Tunas Beach, La Perla Hostel and Cabins offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel has a range of water sports facilities. Convenient location with both street and inside parking. Transportation arranged by staff from airport. Very spacious property with multiple private cabins and some dorm-type rooms. I stayed in Cabin #5, which is closest to the ocean and had queen bed with ceiling fan, mosquito net, private bath, and balcony. There’s a large central house with dining and kitchen areas, and upstairs space for yoga, including also hammocks and ocean view. The ocean is directly in front of the property, accessible through a private gate. The beach is very long, over 6km, and you can walk to the next town or to one of several local restaurants with excellent seafood. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Proprietor offers bird watching tours at a local conservatory and also whale watching trips from the neighboring town. The property is very clean with many colorful plants and native trees. The covered rear entry has a guest kitchen, with seating and dining areas.
