Amazing Cabo Polonio

Run by a team of very helpful guys, they were attentive an helpful to all I needed. They made nightly fires and offered to cook meals - very nice attitude from Jose and Lalo. I had a 4-bed dorm room to myself - it would have been a tight squeeze with other guests. Bed was comfortable, showers were hot, WIFI was strong and only dropped out once. Low season at Cabo Polonio is a stunning part of the world I was happy to see this location outside of the high season. A good place to base for long beach walks.

A wonderful place to enjoy the natural beauty of Cabo Polonio. The staff were very friendly and the hostel was simple but incredibly cosy. Our double room with a balcony was lovely, and we were able to watch some stunning sunrises from there. The food at the hostel was exceptionally tasty. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the hostel to everyone! Muchas gracias por todo! ❤️

Enjoy the nature of beautiful Cabo Polonio

The hostel is centrally situated in Cabo Polonio, just a few meters away from Calavera beach. It has the basic amenities but everything is clean and beautifully decorated. Nice and helpful stuff! We went late March and I think it was the only place that still had enough visitors to socialize. But still it was peaceful and quiet to enjoy the nature. We had the double room on the upper floor (the only one with private bathroom) which had a very nice view on the beach and the lighthouse, totally recommended!

Home

I stayed at this hostel for two weeks and it was the best time e. I met wonderful people and the people who worked in the hostel were so lovely. Super positive energy and the location right by the sea was amazing. It's all very small and simple, but you don't need more to be happy. The food was great and we danced and laughed a lot. I will always carry this place in my heart.

Great location, good atmosphere and friendly people.

The location is great. There’s WiFi, electricity and warm water and that’s not granted in Cabo.
