Super relaxed, easygoing vibe all around. The outdoor space is amazing, really comfortable. Loved the hammock! Joe, the owner, is incredibly friendly and laid-back. You’ll definitely end up spending time chatting with him, which adds a lot to the experience. If you’re into surfing, he rents out boards and offers lessons for beginners. Cherry on top: Jeoe has two cute cats that hang around in the common areas. I loved every part of my stay here! Gracias por todo Joe.

We had an amazing time in this hostel with my friend. It feels like home. The beds are very confortable and clean. The shower is also very nice. But most importantly the vibe in the hostel is very chill. Also you can learn how to surf or just keep on learning by taking classes with Jo ( one of the owner) which is a very good instructor. It was one of the best moment of our trip. I highly recommend this hostel

I had such an amazing time staying here. The property has great vibes and is in a great location, just a few blocks from the downtown gallery district. Joe is so cool and friendly. He has significant surfing knowledge and was a great teacher. I hope to return very soon!!

Nice staff, well located, but safety was a concern, and the rooms aren't particularly comfortable or clean

La pasé increíble en The Riptide. Al ser un hostel pequeño, se siente todo mucho más cercano. Joe, el dueño, está siempre por ahí y eso hace que el ambiente sea muy auténtico. Conecté con la gente de una forma que no me ha pasado en otros hostales. 100% recomendado.

Solo tuve el placer de hospedarme un dia el lugar es humilde pero cumple con lo importante, esta muy cerca del centro, y muy cerca de donde pasa los autobuses incluyendo la ruta del desierto, el staff que por lo que entiendo que es familia son super amables y me senti en casa, la señora, la mama, es una persona muy dulce y me ayudo con varias cosas de la ciudad y recomendaciones.le agradezco mucho.
