"Had an amazing week, largely thanks to Brian (the bartender). Personal, timely, respectful, always energetic and a cutie patootie. Definitely made our vacation and I will come back, if only to have one of Brian’s piña coladas. Shoutout to Carlos and Andrei also.. sweethearts! Love, Canada"

"I absolutely loved my stay at this hostel. It was not peak tourist season so it was a bit emptier but the people I did get to meet were amazing. As my first solo travel I was very nervous. I was very surprised with the friendliness exhibited by the people and staff. My highlight was hanging out at the bar and having conversations with Brian. He is the best thing about the hostel. Very knowledgeable about the area and activities...."

Fantastic night life in the bar and pool area, with planned activities like salsa dancing class, live music and even pop up tattoo artists. Group yoga classes in the A.M. in the indoor common area.

The customer service, especially that of Brian, Kevin and Alexis went..."
