The most beautiful and comfortable hostel I’ve stayed - probably ever. The beds in the dorms are beyond comfortable (I stayed in a 4 bed room, which didn’t have double beds as the other dorms, but it was still amazing). The place itself is beautiful and peaceful. You can use the pool and facilities of the hostel attached to it, which is plus (and even though it can be a bit loud in the hostel, in Caracola you hear nothing of it). Literally one from the beach, and close to restaurants and bars as well. It felt like a bit of an oasis

This place was quiet, comfortable, and great value for money. My room was spacious and welcoming and there was also a lovely pool to use and bikes available to guests. I really appreciated the warm welcome from the owners and the drinking water provided for guests. Many thanks for a great stay!

Right on the beach. Waves are perfect for beginner surfers. Lessons are very cheap. $20 USD for hour with one on one instruction. Party place. Lots of loud music.

I loved the location of this hostel! It was perfect and right on the beach. I liked that they offered family dinners and had volleyball. The showers were cute. The beds were comfortable enough and had all good interactions with the staff! Also had tons of stuff to rent out, things to buy, and offered surf lessons!

Awesome place to stay, hang out and meet people. If you’re looking for a more chill vibe and to party at other places, then this might be one of the only hostel options in el paredón. This place is new and changing daily with upgrades, has a nice clean pool to hang out by and good prices on surfboard rentals. These kinds of towns tend to have cliquey staff/volunteers, which wasn’t the case here and hopefully it continues like that!
