The hostel is great and the breakfast is changing daily (and always good). The staff was really nice and accommodating. There are always different events happening in the evening and one night we went to see the bioluminescence (for free)

The activites they offered everyday where really nice. I went with them to the bioluminescence spot that normally costs if you book it officially. The personal is super friendly. The location is very close to a wonderful beach.

I loved the little tent shaped Bungalow. The mosquito net protected us well. Staff was helpful and kind. Outside sitting area was nice. Showers had warm and cold water. Toilets were clean. Compound not far from the beach. Maybe 7 minutes walking....

I only planned to stay 2 nights, but I kept extending and extending. I ended up staying for 3 weeks in total. I made so many friends. The staff, both receptionists (Sam y Pao) and volunteers (Pablo - the Best chef!, André, Bianca!) made me feel...
