The Duck Dive El Tunco

Party vibes snd cute little hostel great for meeting people, a little bit of a walk from the town and the river is a bit stinky lol (not from the hostel) but great price for air conditioning, place to do and hang laundry, hangout good communal and social vibes, clean rooms and bathrooms and showers. But hectic kitchen but nice to have, small cheap local corner store right next door, board rentals in the hostel, only some of the activities don’t actually happen as written on the board :/

I had an amazing time at Duck Dive. The hostel is just a 5-minute walk from the beach. There’s a nice kitchen where I could cook my own food, and there’s plenty of space in the fridge. I could also rent a scooter and a surfboard there. The vibe was very social, but chill at the same time. It was perfect, since I like to sleep well and it’s really quiet late at night. The staff were really helpful and friendly. I hope to come back soon.

The perfect hostel! After staying in every hostel in el tunco duck dive is the best one . The social is great , it’s 5 min walk from the beach , the kitchen is really big and you have surfboards and scooters to rent for good prices. 10/10!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best hostel in town is 10 min from the center but worth it!

Stayed in a private room, was simple but really good value for money! Would recommend

Great hostel! I met a lot of travelers thanks to all the activities offered. The hostel is open to everyone, even to other travelers who just want to come for a drink or join an activity. The staff is also excellent. I extended my stay by several nights.

vibe here was weird and cliquey, rooms were SO cramped there was literally no place to put your bag, only small lockers for valuables, so everyone’s stuff is everywhere. showers were warm but lost pressure when other water sources were being used, same with taps, sometimes they just dripped. kitchen was cramped, not enough workspace, frying pans battered, old equipment in kitchen and flies everywhere. they have a shop where u can buy small groceries like eggs for $0.25 each which was useful

Good AC which was a relief from the heat but not the most social vibes. Lots of people in groups that kept to themselves. Lockers quite small (enough for valuables) and not a lot of space for bags in the rooms.

Genuinely one of my favorite hostels I’ve ever stayed at! The staff are so kind and welcoming. It’s a social hostel and during the week the hostel has different activities planned for the guests that are fun and a great way to meet people. The hostel is right outside of town and it’s easy to get there and back. Definitely would recommend staying here!!

Very nice, good community, clean and well kept

Overall a great stay here, the staff is fun and outgoing and makes the place be very social. AC is good, and the amenities are fine. Your on the beach tour going to be hot regardless of where you stay. A weekend here is really fun and I would do it again. Enough people that you are never alone and it’s a good mix of younger people and older people wanting to have fun. Short walk away from town and a little isolated but I loved it. Love this place

Great place. Stayed there for 7 nights. Floor in the big dorm was a bit dusty / dirty. Some issues with a shuttle bus booked through the hostel, being very late to Guatamala, but overall I’m satisfied.

Très chouette endroit pour faire des rencontres. Un peu à l'écart de la ville mais 5min à pieds si on traverse la rivière (sur des cailloux). Activités organisées chaque jours !

Great stop for off the main strip. love the spot, great staff, but hard time trying to socialize with people here sadly.

First time there I did only the cooking pupusas class and staff was so friendly..so much that some weeks later booked one night..only to be sorely dissapointed (all volunteers were new and none talktative, one tall tan latin guy which I think was volunteer seemed more on the bully side, and no atmosphere nor hints of were to sign up for events or what to do Saturday night).

The location is about a 10 minute walk to the El Tunco town. You have to cross a stream to get there. The beds were comfy and had curtains. The kitchen was also great and the rooms had great AC. It wasn’t a very social hostel but could’ve just been my group.

Fun place! Social and had activities on-site. Great kitchen for making meals. Liked it so much we re-visited.

Epic spot. Nicely out of the way but still only a short stroll from the main strip and beach. Super social vibe with activities most days - pool table a great addition. Owners are super chill, let me and my girlfriend move into a private room on late notice. Prices also great. Will be back soon!

Very social through no doing of the hostel though. So much clutter and large bits of rubbish around the hostel, ie old stove in the middle of the common areas. Dorms were nice, and aircon worked. Showers good too. The walk to the town was easy over the rocks of the river. Could go with more comfy seating outside,

Super fun! We had a great time, it’s a little off the beaten path from the town but everything is within a few minutes walk. This is a social hostel! We had tons of fun every night. The hostel events are popular with other hostels too so it’s always a good time. The beds are nice with curtains and AC in the rooms. 10/10 would be staying here again if I come back!
