I really liked this hostel! Jason is very welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, fresh towels provided every 2 days, and one of the best showers I've used in south America! The dorms have room to place your things and there's lots of space to dry clothes after visiting the beach in the shared areas. There's a small, well equipped kitchen (with fridge in the office) for cooking simple meals and hammocks to relax in. The location isn't super central, but the town is very small so it takes no time to get anywhere, and a good supermarket is just around the corner.

It could be nice place but it is very uncomfortable because of noise from other rooms. It sounds like there aren’t any walls. We had to knock to the other hosts just because they talk and laugh until night. You really hear absolutely everything. There isn’t hot water but it is not so bad because you are in hot weather. But woman was really nice.

The staff were lovely and the place is in a great location. Round the corner from the BEST bakery on the island too which was a bonus. Hot water did not work for 1 day BUT the staff did everything they could to fix it for the next day! The rest of the time there was always hot water even after a long shower.

They have free laundry and the staff is really nice. Not in the center of the port but not so far either, in this island everything is close

Posada is very close to a few mini markets and a short walk from the flamingos and beautiful beaches. The evening view from the rooftop is extraordinary. During our stay there was a tsunami evacuation and our host was fantastic throughout, walking us to the truck and keeping us informed.
