The location of the rooms are not good at all and it is not what you expect when you book it. The rooms were very far from reception the pool and the beach. You had to walk like 10 mins to get to the reception and other 10 mins to get to the beach in a really dark path in which you need to use your phone light at night to see. So it is not a social setting. In addition, they were very disorganized in reception, they gave me the wrong room at first and the room was messy because of the other guests. The hostel is not worth the price, there are so many other nice hostels in Palomino.

“Cabañas Praba”
The pool is excellent. The place is right on the beach with an upstairs area with hammocks to relax in and listen to the ocean. The dorm rooms are clean, nice and spacious with individual fans and a private bathroom. The dorms are set in an immaculately kept garden away from the sound of the busy, main street, although not far to walk.

“Uncomfortable with lots of problems.”
The breakfast, if you manage to get it, tastes good. There is a nice view of the sea from the bar area.
