About

Come and stay our beach holiday house-like hostel in El Paredon! We’re located a stone-throw away from the beach and
just around the corner from El Paredon mangroves!

We understand that most of the time, budgeting is key while traveling. We also understand the different dietary restrictions that some travelers might have. So for USD 1.25/day (10 quetzales) you can have full access to our kitchen to cook your favorite meals. This small fee helps us to keep the kitchen running for you and other guests to come!

Whether it's surfing, boogie boarding at the beach or kayaking in the mangroves, our hostel can provide you with everything you need. Please ask at reception for pricing and availability!

We are NOT a party hostel, however, you can access the party scene by a 10 min walk and come back to rest right after!
if you are returning to the hostel after 10pm, please be respectful of other guest that might be already sleeping.

Summary of traveller reviews

Backpackers in El Paredon offers a wonderfully social and chill atmosphere, perfect for solo travellers and groups. Guests love the friendly owner and volunteers who create a welcoming, family-like vibe. It's ideally located a short walk from the beach and town, providing a peaceful retreat. While some mention limited space in rooms and a lack of lockers, the overall experience is highly positive, with many extending their stays.

Great Hostel, Nery (the owner) is a super great guy, he makes a group chat and tells you everything that’s going on every day, he continued to help us out even after we checked out and went to an Airbnb. Would definitely recommend!
