Beautiful beachfront setting

Amazing beachfront location. Great vibe. Staff were friendly. One staff member was very helpful to me. It’s a fun atmosphere and can even be a good place to get some work done. Frequent power outages during my stay were the one drawback. All if all well worth it.

direkt am Strand

Das Hostal ist direkt am Strand gelegen, die gesamte Anlage macht einen recht chilligen Eindruck. Die Zimmer sind einfach, aber sauber. Die Bar könnte für ein Hostal etwas günstiger sein: Cocktail 20 000 COP. Wir würden dort aber durchaus nochmal übernachten.
