Truly the best hostel experience I've ever had. The volunteers and owner Patricia made my stay feel like a family. They went above and beyond to help me out when I needed it. The location is in a perfect surf spot and by a delicious Pupuseria. The beds are cozy and the AC and pool saves you from the heat. You won't find a better hostel.
