the place is so relaxing, the beach and the layout of the camp is perfect for a nice beer and a good book. the nature around is absolutely breathtaking! the staff super friendly and fun to be around. I would go back for sure.
CanadaWe loved our surf lessons, the food was great, and the location on the beach couldn't be better!
South AfricaRight on a stunning beach, laid back, great to learn how to surf
Colombiagreat location right on the beach, great breakfast and comfy beds
United KingdomGreat location on the beach, the food was delicious! Staff were super friendly and the volunteers were very welcoming:)
United KingdomGreat Vibes and the Hostel is surrounded by the Paradise!
GermanyThis is a great classic hostel in El Valle. We stayed in a private room which was a lovely cabin. Fan was very appreciated as it gets hot. Location is perfect and aesthetically it’s a lovely place. Breakfast is included and very good. We only stayed one night as they were all booked up.
United KingdomThe place is magic. Great surfing. Could stay there forever. Just the breakfast is not so good and its hard to get some fruits, which is very surprising for the area.
AustriaEl Valle is a good place to chill. The Humpback Turtle makes it twice more enjoyable. Out of the accommodation offered on the beach, this one is probably the best place for international travellers quality-price wise. The hosts are foreigners that make the stay quite relaxing. They can help you to arrange different activities and advice on how to spend your time. The hostel offers lunch/dinner. It's a very good place for surfing. Generally, you won't have to worry about almost anything if you stay here.
UkraineLa ubicación del lugar es privilegiada y tiene todo lo básico para una estancia tranquila y cómoda. La alegría y amabilidad de Gisela es contagiosa, sin duda lo mejor del lugar, y Yancely también brinda una cálida atención.
