Rihanny at the front desk is a total star. Calm, pleasant, warm and helpful she made our stay exceptional. The hostel was a joy, wonderful grounds with a resident sloth (Raoul), a number of agouti and most wonderful...the red straberry dart frogs. There are flowers at every corner and the trees and lush vegetation add ambiance and privacy. They have a good system for food storage in the shared kitchen and a nice little pool area.

The vibe, the community, the music, the creativity, the location (on the beach) and just close enough to walk or cycle into the main town and Playa Cocles also. The relaxed environment. Diversity of people that stayed there. Great if travelling with teens.
