Paradise Project Hostel Backpacker

The service was terrible. They first tried to put me on a female dorm, then on another dorm where the bed was not even made. Then there was no power in the whole building when we arrived, so that also means no wifi. Hostel world says water dispenser, pool table and sauna and none of those were at the property. The reception also told us that if we booked with them we would get free tickets for the festival there was this weekend and that was also not the case, and there was definetely not language barrier cause I speak both English and Spanish fluent. One night we killed about 3 cockroaches in the bathroom. The room had no curtains. Can’t pay anything with card because they charge you 15% Overall it also felt dirty and like unfinished hostel. With a lot of interesting people staying there for not mention once specific European/Middle East nationality, I let you guys figure it out. Also there was always music blasting out everyday from about 10/11am all the way till like 10pm, and yesterday there was an after party all day from 10am to 8pm with about 50-100 persons, coming back from a festival. If you are not in that mood because all you want to do is chill and surf this was not a vybe for us at all, and they first told us was going to finish @1400 and it dragged till 2000. And you can imagine the mess that was left after this including right outside our room. They tried to charge us more money for our beds. The only thing included is free coffee which is Nescafe haha The lockers were all rusty so you had to put some plastic before putting your stuff. A few times I went to reception and there was nobody. Etc etc Overall watch out when booking this place. Might seem nice online but is not.

I just stayed for two nights, but the 8-bed dorm was pretty nice and the private bathroom was nice and big.(good shower!) I booked a small 4-bed room and when I arrived they told me they would upgrade me to a better room. At first I was confused because he was talking about a 8-bed dorm but then he told me that there is only one other person. So at the end I would say it was a nice upgrade.

Very clean & beautiful facility. Clean bathrooms and dorms with air conditioning. The pool and ample hammocks is very nice too. My favorite part is that it is a 30 second walk to the beach.
