La Cueva del Grifo Loco in Miramar is praised for its incredibly welcoming and hospitable owner, Adriano, who is also an ex-chef and cooks delicious Italian food. The property is a short walk from the beach and offers great value. It's ideal for solo travellers and those seeking a relaxed beach vibe.

The perfect stay!! We stayed with a big group of us and we all fell in love with the place, the food, the pets (Georgio and pasoquito) and most importantly Adriano! We ate like kings! Adriano cooked us tuna, homemade Italian pasta, and Clara is a ceviche guru! Best value for money hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Thanks for the best hospitality we’ve ever experienced Adriano and Clara !
