About

We are located directly in the Playa El Tunco community in a quiet area that is just a 5 minute walk to the beach. The location makes it perfect for resting/relaxing after surfing as well as enjoying a night out without all the noise from the bars when you get back to the hostel and want to rest.
Sunrises and Sunsets are spectacular and people routinely gather at the beach to enjoy both.

Our place has a great mix of private rooms as well as dorms of various sizes starting as low as four beds and going up to 16 in a room. All rooms have air conditioning and there is plenty of space around the property to sit, read and relax. Reliable internet if you need to surf the web or stay in touch with your love ones or simply explore your next destination.

We are excited to see you here.

The water for the shower was not good. I don’t know why, but my soap did not lather at all. They charge an 18% fee for credit cards. Everything was dirty, bugs. Common areas not appealing, sinks filled with stale water.

Pros: good air conditioning in the bedrooms, good location, nice hammocks to lounge in. Cons: no free purified water (I had to buy it from the reception, what a joke) , kitchen was a little messy/dirty, pillow was very uncomfortable.

AC was great in the rooms. The whole place smelled quite a bit due to the stagnant water next door and the communal spaces were dark and uninviting.
