Sunset Surf Villa

Pros: A great place (location was awesome and rooms are comfy. Has everything you need and there are lots of local food options nearby).

Cons: The local cleaning staff was awesome, but the shift of young volunteers working over the weekend appeared to be doing nothing (garbage cans overflowing, not cleaning spaces, very grumpy at having to check people in or being asked questions). The shift that came on later in my stay were great (super friendly and addressed issure right away), but that initial encounter definitely could have been better.

Great vibe, views and nice people

Pros: Beachfront with great sunsets, nice common areas and clean

Cons: The mattresses were not the best

Stunning location!

Pros: This property is set on a stunning beach, I loved all the palm trees and just hanging out in hammocks out the back. They also offered yoga classes which I really enjoyed. The accom itself was nice and well functioning aircon which was definitely needed in the heat.

Cons: It is a little out of town so unless you have a motorbike or car you will be using Ubers quite a bit. But some people may really like this. Beautiful space to relax.

Modern, well done property with great facilities- a bit out of the way/ main town

Pros: Super nice property, with nice bathrooms, AC on demand, hot water showers, big TV for movies, bomb fire and lots of nice comfy areas to hang out as well as a decent size pool. Right on the beach

Cons: Kinda in the middle of no where, so the main place to be is the hostel as it's a bit far to go anywhere else.

Nice location directly at the beach!

Pros: Nice location directly at the beach with lots of hammocks, beach chairs and other seating spots in the garden, surrounding the pool. Easy hitchhiking or Uber to town or a short walk of 10mins to a commercial area for grocery shopping.

Cons: Mattresses are worn out and definitely need replacement.

Home from home.

Pros: I loved the way you felt a part of the group as soon as you arrived. Surfboard rental was easy and a lovely spot to watch the sunset and people surfing. Borrowed bikes for free. Supermarket and all essentials and some non essentials are all in very easy reach. Hop on the bus for a 5min ride to El Tunco.

Cons: Beds a bit wobbly and the pillows are tiny. Or am I just being fussy!

Backpacker friendly

Pros: It was next to the beach, and everything was walking distance, pretty cool staff, definitely going back.

Cons: Can’t think of anything bad

Perfecto

Pros: beautiful garden area, adorable staff, clean common areas, directly at the beach -> all u need

Cons: nada

Amazing hostel

Pros: The place is beautiful, interior and decoration is chosen with so much love. It’s super clean and everyone is amazing. Super lovely staff, nice yoga sessions and good surfboards. Chill vibe perfect to calm down and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Felt like a second home

Cons: Nada

Pros: Loved this place. Amazing location right on the beach, nice pool, very relaxing. Great price for surf lessons + free yoga Monday-Friday. The staff + volunteers are great + do the most - including literally catching you if you pass out (true story). Highly recommend!!

Cons: Contrary to what it says on Booking.com they actually don't accept card, it is cash only. Convenient cash point around the corner.
