The hostel had a very nice location, right on the beach. The surf teachers were great & the group of female volunteers were all friendly. However, the fan dorms were really, really bad and not worth the price: tiny, hot, and old. The yoga teacher also had a not very zen vibe & could have been a bit more discreet about her private life. The leaving speeches are also a bit intense for a hostel stay and they could stop.

By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, the staff and volunteers are so friendly and fun and there are so many activities and opportunities to meet people. The food is incredible and the local options nearby are some of the best in Nicaragua. Yoga was amazing and the surf instructors were very knowledgeable. Bar was a super fun vibe and the parties were great. Very good balance of chill days and party days.
