“Good balance between social and chill”

I was a bit hesitant booking this place after reading some reviews about staff not being nice or there not being so many people socializing in the hostel. My experience was completely different than that. The staff was SO nice and helpful and there was such a good vibe. Not so much party hostel so I think maybe it’s just the vibe that you are looking for what matters and this for me offered a good balance between peace quiet and socializing. Lastly, BEST BREAKFAST EVER! I experienced in a hostel or hotel even

“Great option to stay in Pipa.”

Great staff, great breakfast, good location, several paid activities, fast internet connection.

“The most fun, professional and friendly surf camp in gorgeous Pipa :)”

I loooveeee it!!! :) Even before arriving at the hostel, the communication over the App was great :) When I arrived, the check-in process was with a very professional & friendly receptionist :) They provided me with all the information I needed, being added to a WhatsApp group for the daily activities :) They were very communicative and happy to help and accommodate your needs :) The whole team was great, from the cleaners, the cooks, the receptionist, the surf instructors, the activities organiser :) The Surf classes with a diverse team of instructors every morning were very professional and fun :) The breakfast was very abundant and good for veggie people like me :) There was filtered water to refill your water bottle all the time :) The swimming pool to chill after surfing and even in the evening was super :) The free massage I got for booking 4 surfing lessons was the best I've had in a long time :) The view from the dorm balcony to the swimming pool & chilling area, with a hammock to lie down on, made a big difference to the quality of my rest in a hostel dorm with five other ladies :) The location is great because it is very closed to the main road, where the vans come and go, and you find everything, but a bit off up the hill were is very quite. That location makes it very close to a couple of beaches :)

“Good for solo travel, but overall a bit disappointed.”

Great for solo travelers! The people you meet at the hostel are often traveling solo and open to meet other people as well. This is really the highlight of this place as you can meet people easily and form a nice group to hangout with at Pipa quite quickly. They have a lot of boards for rental which is also nice. The staff at the reception were all kind and helpful. The cats hanging around the hostel are super cute and get rid of most bugs that inevitably end up there. Being able to check in at any time was also really nice.

“Perfection”

Everything was perfect

“Great atmosphere and people!”

Great vibe and surf classes!

Amazing place to stay. Great people, location, vibes and activities. The room is not any luxury, but it has everything you need. Air con to hold the heat and a toilet oer bedroom. The best thing about Arara is the feeling of being home. The staff is very friendly, same for the guests...everyone just brings the vibes. The surf classes are great, offering transportation, and video analysis. Everything was just great!! Thank you, guys, for everything, and ao will definitely coming back. 😀

“Overall i loved it here and would definitally come back! The people are so nice and you meet lot’s of other amazing peop”

The property is so nice! I loved everything, it gave me a really warm and pleasant feeling. You have a lit of facilities to use such as a gym, pool, surfing lessons, yoga and so on

“would come here again”

Everything was really great, starting from the stuff that was super friendly and always up to some fun, a lot of them spoke English as well. The rooms were cleaned everyday. There were always some special events planned by the hostel, where you could decide to join or not.

“Amazing place to stay if you wanna surf and be social”
