Great place to stay as a solo traveler. Even during the low season I made wonderful connections. The pool was very nice to cool off and relax after hitting the waves. Everything was very close and walkable and I rented a bike to visit the rescue center and several beaches. I had a great time!

I like how hidden this felt with all the plants and paths. There was a nice kitchen area and a big pool. The vibe was a bit more mellow but with their sister hostel Wolaba across the street that I went to for a few nightly activities it was the perfect mix.

Honestly theres more social life at the partner hostel casa wolaba but the rooms in el clan are way bigger and you have your own bathroom in the dorm. Overall good vibes, always clean, cheap cocktail price at the pool
