LOVED my stay

I loved staying at Mapache! The crew working here is amazing. They make a different breakfast every morning, organize activities and take you to the good places on the island. Everything is very chill and low key. Would highly recommend and would love to come back some day!

Great hostel in a perfect location

The hostel is great and the breakfast is changing daily (and always good). The staff was really nice and accommodating. There are always different events happening in the evening and one night we went to see the bioluminescence (for free)

A wonderful stay at a wonderful beach.

The activites they offered everyday where really nice. I went with them to the bioluminescence spot that normally costs if you book it officially. The personal is super friendly. The location is very close to a wonderful beach.

Simple and affordable for backpackers and couples

I loved the little tent shaped Bungalow. The mosquito net protected us well. Staff was helpful and kind. Outside sitting area was nice. Showers had warm and cold water. Toilets were clean. Compound not far from the beach. Maybe 7 minutes walking. My tip: if you want to see the bioluminiscence, just take a walk to the beach by the lagoon (40 minutes). No need for an organized tour. But make sure you take mosquito repellent and shoes to walk in water.

I only planned to stay 2 nights, but I kept extending and extending. I ended up staying for 3 weeks in total. I made so many friends. The staff, both receptionists (Sam y Pao) and volunteers (Pablo - the Best chef!, André, Bianca!) made me feel so welcome and at home. I had the time of my life. It all felt like one big family, sharing beautiful moments together, and food. I stayed in a tent, which was very comfortable!! The common area is very chill with lots of hammocks.
