The staff was great, good breakfast, nice facilities

Sánchez United States of America

The staff here are amazing! Super friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable, pool was lovely, and breakfast was great! The location is just a short walk to the beach and feels very secure. Highly recommended!

Myra United States of America

The hostel is nice with a large common area including the pool and hammocks. The room was comfortable and the bathrooms are new with ecofriendly toilets

Nataly Italy

Wonderful place, the staff is amazing, the place is beautiful and really calm. The room was really private, you couldn't hear the noise from outside. The breakfast was really good. Really close to the beach but in a quiet street.

Valentina Colombia

The place was beautiful, the pool was empty so we were able to enjoy it

Emily Colombia

This place is a tranquil place and off beat, yet so incredibly worth it. Traveling for 7 months, this place was home to the Colombian spirit. A huge thank you a Luis, Javier and Rossa. Their spirit is so contagious and their energy and smile just lifts your entire being up. The people you meet there cannot get more authentic than that. Not my typical aesthetically appealing stay but I’d go back for the experience and the people/staff. Muchas gracias Luis, Rossa y Javier por todo. Usted son increíble

Kadir Germany

It was a cute small pool and the breakfast is good. The room for 2 wasn't small and it has a huge window, which is awesome. The hostel is very pretty, and you have free coffee/ tea 24/7! Oh, and a parking lot too!
