“Loud loud thumping music until 4 am, 3-4 nights per week, even when that bar is noted as closed. The later it gets, more alcohol flowing, the volume increases. WHO conceived that these two elements are compatible???? Great bed, just used it briefly to nap. What a waste! There were families and couples with babies. Guess unless the kids and babies are down with partying until the wee hours, this is most likely a jah brah surf party hostel vibe. Quite apparent that families didn’t stay long.……
“Great place! Awesome Beach View, the cabanas type rooms were very comfortable and private. Will definitely stay here again.
Restaurant food was very good too.”
“This place was everything I hoped for. The rooms were wonderful, the property was beautiful and centrally located in town, and the surfing was excellent.”

When you have Jiani as a stellar chef and Lorenzo as the perfect surf instructor/fitness coach (nice gym and even better instruction)....well check all the boxes for El Ranchito. Very accommodating hosts, that get you to and on the surf. Nicely sculpted beach break, rights and lefts, only 100 yards to the outside sets (solid 6'+ face). A very memorable and fun experience.”
