About

Playa de la Fuente is a newly built hostel-style property in El Paredon on the Pacific Coast of Guatemala. Our dorms are a 5 minute/2 block walk to the beach, and are smack into the middle of El Paredon with easy access to Super 24, the beach, all the other hostel properties, all the restaurants, and parties.

Our property includes two brand new 10-person dorms with A/C, memory foam mattresses, personal outlets, and all the other comforts you need at the beach. There are 5 shared bathrooms, 3 shared enclosed showers, and another 3 shared outdoor showers. There is a shaded area with hammocks exclusively for guests as well.

Also on our property is a food plaza of sorts, including all our restaurants and shops with one large shaded sitting area for everyone to enjoy our food. We include breakfast with every booking, and we have 5 amazing options. Right now we have the restaurant grill, smoothie shop, and imports shop opened - with plans to open much more!

We also have a sister property in Antigua - Hostal de la Fuente

I had to pay double on arrival as the hostel said there was a problem with Hostel World. After paying double I was also asked to pay for breakfast which is confusing as a free breakfast is the first thing advertised on HostelWorld. Due to this I decided to leave early as it really put a damper on my time in El Paredon. Wouldn’t recommend.

Booked for new years a month in advance to be told everywhere else had sold out that the price had now doubled, and tried to charge for the free breakfast that was advertised on hostelworld. Additionally, the rooms had no storage whatsoever resulting in bags being piled high in the room. The rooms upstairs also had no internet access and my bunkbed didn’t have a ladder meaning I had to awkwardly climb via someone else’s bed. The toilets and showers were awkwardly placed by the bar area.

The hostel changed the price at the last minute, after my booking had been confirmed and there was nowhere else available within my budget so I had to pay out of pocket for the extra expense. Super unprofessional and would definitely be illegal in most countries.
