It was an incredible experience to work here as volunteer but also as guest. The vibe is just perfect, the pool, the rooms, everything is perfect. Highly recommend, actually the best hostel in Montañita by far

Très bon endroit à quelques pas de la plage. L'ambiance est agréable et on a aimé la piscine. Les employés sont gentils. Il y a aussi une cuisine qu'on a pu utiliser.

The service was terrible. They first tried to put me on a female dorm, then on another dorm where the bed was not even made. Then there was no power in the whole building when we arrived, so that also means no wifi. Hostel world says water dispenser, pool table and sauna and none of those were at the property. The reception also told us that if we booked with them we would get free tickets for the festival there was this weekend and that was also not the case, and there was definetely no...

I just stayed for two nights, but the 8-bed dorm was pretty nice and the private bathroom was nice and big.(good shower!) I booked a small 4-bed room and when I arrived they told me they would upgrade me to a better room. At first I was confused because he was talking about a 8-bed dorm but then he told me that there is only one other person. So at the end I would say it was a nice upgrade.

Very clean & beautiful facility. Clean bathrooms and dorms with air conditioning. The pool and ample hammocks is very nice too. My favorite part is that it is a 30 second walk to the beach.

Leider setzt das Hostel die Prioritäten falsch. In der Küche gab es keine Seife, Kakerlaken im Badezimmer, kein Klopapier, vollgekackte Toiletten die übers Wochenende nicht sauber gemacht wurden aber Hauptsache Party die ganze Nacht. Partydreck wurde ebenfalls das ganze Wochenende nicht weggeräumt.

Hatte einen super Aufenthalt in dem Hostel. Das Hostel wird grad neu aufgebaut und es ist noch teilweise eine kleine Baustelle an manchen Ecken, aber davon bekommt man kaum etwas mit. Preis-Leistung ist mehr als gut! Würde definitiv wiederkommen

+ El Paradise está creciendo y viendo muy bien! Tiene una piscina muy linda y ligares de descanso muy cómodos, como hamacas. Es muy espacioso.

- El AC no funcionó, estábamos en un cuarto compartido y hacía mucho calor.

Best hostel in montanita, super clean and luxury aircon rooms! They even have 4 European plugs per bed and BIG shelves. As far as dorms go I can't think of anything I was missing it hit the spot. The social area is great too with pingpong a tv and a swimming pool. Bar om site was nice and met some cool people there. Near the beach so always a plus. Other hostels here are kinda dirty so this was a great change :) Would stay again 10/10
