About

Welcome to The Duck Dive – your chill social surf base in El Tunco.

Just a 10-minute walk from the beach and town.
Whether you’re here to catch waves, meet fellow travelers, or just unwind, this is your spot.

The hostel is brand new, with a cozy layout, modern design. Guests keep telling us they’ve had their best sleep in months here — the beds are that comfy. 🌙 Plus, every bed comes with a privacy curtain and powerful AC.

We’ve got a massive, fully equipped guest kitchen and a pool table!

We host daily social events (family dinners, game nights, pool tournies, etc).

Whether you’re here for a night or a month, The Duck Dive is the kind of place that feels like home (if home had surfboards and hammocks). 🏄‍♂️🌴

• Sunzal – 10 minutes walking
• La Bocana – 15 minutes walking

Hostel & room was well kept and tidy. Kitchen area was big and the little table selling bits and bobs to cook with was really handy. Our toilet didn’t work the entire time which was frustrating. In fairness to the lad at reception he did attempt to fix it but think it needed a proper plumber to sort it. Water cut out a few times also. The pillows smelt kind of BO ish which weren’t ideal.. probably wouldn’t stay here again. Weren’t overly social, bit of a weird vibe. Good if you’re on a budget!

I liked it!! Just wish I got a better tour when I got there because I didn’t realize there was a second, better set of bathrooms
