Really nice location directly at the beach. Food was nice (but a bit pricey). Surfschool is included in the hostel area. The rooms are spacious, silent and AC is working.

See previous comments, but this time I stayed in a standard room in the new building. The room was spacious, clean, good bed and a simple but good bathroom.

Amazing location right on the beach. Loved all the activities especially the morning yoga! The dorms are really well air conditioned and the hammocks on the grass outside the dorms are a great place to relax.

Liked the vibe of the place, small little community with shops and restaurants. We had one of the best pizzas ever at the restaurant next door gatto negro.
