Stayed jn thks hostel for 4 nights, the place is very dirty with sand all over the showers, the kitchen is never cleaned, the rooms are extremely hot and you havw to pay extra for air conditioning which they don't say in the listing, the manager came into my room shouting and drunk in the middle of the night which is unacceptable, I can reccomend avoiding this hostel at all costs and stay in the monkey house instead

Good value for money. Loved the location being right in the village. Monkeys in the trees next door! Cool area upstairs for chilling in the heat of the day (it catches the wind) or for beers and pool at night. Not currently serving food but it looked like they were setting up a kitchen downstairs. We could store our surfboards in a room that got locked overnight. Quick walk over the hill to the beach and beyond.

the host was super nice! I was very sick and without hesitating he drove me to the hospital and was very helpful with translations and all. el gigante is very small but cute and the hostel is the same: small but cute and if you don‘t expect the cleanest place and any sort of luxury it‘s very good:)
