Lovely chill hostel super close to the national park. Mario, the owner, is incredibly helpful and kind. Great free coffee.

El lugar es un 10 respecto a la ubicación y los servicios. Sin embargo, no admiten tarjeta y no se especifica, sino que te lo dicen al llegar al lugar. El tipo de cambio no es el mismo que el del Banco Central por lo que la estadía saldrá diferente si hiciste la conversión basado en el precio oficial. Por último, nos pasó que nos dieron un precio el día que llegamos, pero al siguiente cambió $5+, así que terminamos pagando un extra sin saber el porqué

hostel propre et agréable, avec des supers espaces communs et une piscine! mario est très gentil et aidant. la cuisine est spacieuse et fournie. les dortoirs sont bien, les sanitaires aussi bien que les portes des douches (espace en bas et en haut) limitent un peu l’intimité

I liked the chill vibe to this place. Cahuita is an often overlooked stop, and to be fair it is a very small town, but I liked taking a couple days here. The pool is smaller but refreshing, the kitchen is good and has seating and the free coffee is local and great. The bunks had me a little nervous with 3 levels and no guard rail. Loved the hostel cats.

I can't say anything negative about this place. It was relaxing, good vibe, it had what you needed, even a pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. I can definitely recommend this place.
