“Affordable paradise!”
The dormitory was very comfortable and presented immaculately. The staff went the extra mile with preparing me a take away breakfast due to leaving early. Great cocktails!

“Excellent stay!!”
Our stay here was amazing, the hostel is excellent value for money (you pay more for a lot less in El Tunco). You have access to a sandy beach which is quite quiet and a beautiful pool with a view. Beds were the comfiest and AC whenever someone was in the room.

“Super chill”
Absolutely stunning location, and such good beds! Absolutely loved my say however it is very isolated so if you’re looking to be out and about two or three nights is more than enough!

“Most amazing place for relax and enjoy some sun!”
Loved everything about this place! Amazing hostel, with pool and private beach, the beds in the dorms are the best I’ve slept in and it was all so quiet and relaxing! Not much to do around but it’s exactly what I wanted.

We loved our stay here! A little slice of paradise in El Salvador. The rooms were spacious with good air conditioning and a very powerful shower with hot water! The included breakfast was delicious. The pool was the highlight! So super clean, big and with the most incredible view! Easy to access the beach from the hostel. It feels way more like a hotel than a hostel. The shrimp tacos were delicious, as was the frappè! Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants somewhere stunning to relax for a few days.

Everything.. I booked last minute and didnt realize all the amenities.. You are in a hillside, pool, jacuzzi, the 4 bedroom dorm was spectacular. Biggest bed ive ever had and the view is unbelievable off the patio. Private beach, that is usually empty. Happy hour and pupusa making is fun. Beware, it is very quiet , NO kitchen, and very isolated, but just what I wanted.

“Paradise”
INCREDIBLE! I can’t believe that this is a hostel - it’s more like a resort feel! The hostel has a semi-private beach seconds away! Buses stop regularly outside the main gate to the complex (can get to El Zonte within 15 mins). The double beds are so comfortable! The food is incredible, especially the typical Salvadorian which is included in the price. I can’t wait to come back again!

“Prettiest hostel ever”
The pool is very nice, it has a view of the ocean which is insanely pretty. Truly the best spot to unwind for a few days. Nearly everyone I spoke to extended their stay here.

Truly a piece of heaven under the sky! Words can't describe this magical place. Daniel and his staff are simply the best!!! I kept on prolonging as it was so hard to part when meeting so many great people at one place. I could easily imagine spending a few months in there as this place is a cure for mind, body and soul!!. Thank you so very much
