this hostel has very good vibes, loads of included activities and a schedule for everyday, so it is perfect if you are traveling solo. the beds are comfy and the closet are big enough for a backpack.

Amazing activities, stuff and vibes. One block from the beach and you can watch the sunset from the roof. Activities are so much fun! Yoga, open mics, live jam sessions, salsa dancing, volleyball tournaments and much more!

Paula Austria

Fleur Netherlands

Really good vibes and lots of space to relax and meet people. Big rooms too so didn’t feel like there were so many beds in there. So many good free activities and the staff were great too. Good location just a minute or two from the beach.

Helen United Kingdom

MY FAVORITE HOSTEL we loved Tribu! The stuff at the reception and in the hostel is amazing. They helped us so much. Tribu has a super special and fun Programm for their guests. They are all super Friendly and it feels like family. We loved the vibe of this hostel, the colours and the free pasta and pancake days. It's cool to meet people. I had so much fun at the slackline class and Pacheco is so nice and fun ! Thank you for the lesson :) Our double room (big one under roof) was amazing. We extended our days in tribu because we loved it so much. Everything is super close. Best location. Close to beach and best bars... Highly recommend! We will come back :)
