El Diablo Tranquilo was a great hostel in a great location close to the beach, a short walk as well as close to the main streets of the town. The rooms were nice and simple and had lockers for your valuables. Some of the matresses were a little thin though. Breakfast was included as well as free wifi and a kitchen you could cook in. Overall, a cool hostel!

this is a great hostel with very friendly staff, punto del diablo is an amazing place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at diablo tranquilo!! Be warned however the scheme of charging everything to your room (drinks, food, activities etc) is dangerous as you can easily get carried away and end up with a hefty bill when you leave!! Also if you decide to stay extra nights make sure you check the rate is the same as previous nights. Dulce de leche on soft bread for breakfast was a dream!!

Friendly staff and good vibe Rooms are pretty rustic, and the kitchen is fairly inadequate. Quite expensive: bad value for your money

Everything was great, although the bunk room was so small that there wasn´t space for bags or much movement.

I loved the hostel, the staff and the atmosphere but I would like to have appropriate showers (both showers at the girls bathroom were broken!!) and they should definitely should get new mattresses!! They are really old and bad quality. Also, they should really improved the cleanliness.

Great location and really nice bar area, tab system was very useful. No cash in the town! Bit disappointed we could not go on the sunset tour but if you get there early enough and stay a couple of days you can do some great activities through the hostel. Make sure you take the taxi from the main bus terminal... the hostel says it is 5mins walk but this is from the bus stop in town not the terminal which is a mile or so out.

Diablo Tranquilo was very good, but the Tranquilo suites with bar and restaurant were next to the beach and are fantastic. I would strongly recommend booking ahead in January however as the whole town gets very busy.

Algunos del staff parecian estar ahi más de vacaciones que trabajando, generando a los huespedes algunos inconvenientes que más allá de la buena predisposición para solucionarlos, no deberían haber existido. POr otro lado, la cocina es infima para la cantidad de gente que se aloja, y se despreocupaban bastante de la limpieza y orden de la misma. Otro tema, los colchones estaban completamente vencidos. No costaba lo que pagamos, definitivamente.

I spent a great time there, in addition I tried to make another reservation for this weekend and rooms are sold so easy that I could not make a reservation! I will try again!

I stayed for 2 nights and was everything almost good. One of the days when I wanted to have a shower, there was no running water in the bathroom so I had to wait till the evening, so when I wanted to have the shower in the evening the water was working but there was no hot water.. Then I can say it was ok.

Only reason this place gets lots of travelers is there's not many other places to stay. Met good people who stayed there but the place is not good, showers brutal, dorm beds squashed in to make an extra buck. Wouldn't stay there again, rather tent somewhere.

it is a very nice hostel and a nice place to stay i mean close to the beach! but the hostel was too full, the rooms too smal and the kitchen was discusting!!! very dirty and never clean! in the fridge it smelt like old fish!!! and finally the stuff made it worst! it seemd to be very unprofessional because all the people who worked there were all the time chilling around in the hostel! so that guest didn´t know if they were working or not! And NO WORKING ATM in this place!!!

Loved everything about this place! Wasn't going to go to Punte del Diablo but so glad I did... an absolute gem of a place! Super chilled... so slow everything basically runs backwards! Hostel in a great location and great fun... you party at the one on the beach and come back to chill in the hammocks at this one! One set back... the buses drop you 4km out of town normally which is not so clear on the hostel world website, the owner came to fetch us... he was just there so that made it easy 4 us.

I had the chance to stay at both EDT locations and was really impressed. They offer the little services that help keep travels smooth like bus picks ups and cash advances (a lifesaver in a town without an ATM). This location was pretty quiet, a nice time around their terrace dining table before people went down to the bar or out to the club for the night. A good balance. I recommend.

Very nice hostel located in an ideal location close to the beach. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was good every day. We really enjoyed our stay here.
