8.1 Great

sidonie

Relaxing hostel we had a great time

Max, the receptionist, is very relaxed and the VIDA PURAAA lifestyle is 100% applied. More seriously, everything went very well. Hygiene is not at its best but it remains very acceptable. The common areas are very welcoming, what a pleasure.

9.4 Fantastic

Total amateurism

It's nice to want to make your place in the sun, you'll have to professionalize to keep it. *Person at the reception *Does not speak Spanish *We have to put our bed linen ourselves *No one cleans *Obsolete equipment *I had 2 shorts stolen from the common rack: reaction=shrug

Had a great time!

The hostel is frequented with a variety of travellers so its a great place to meet and exchange stories. Live music can be heard from 10MA to 11 PM and the staff encourages social meetings. There might be an issue with mosquitoes given the area so beware.

Cool vibes

The hostel has a well-equipped kitchen, a good size communal area, lots of open spaces to chill and chat. About 5 mins walk to the beach, the best spot for surfing enthusiasts.
