Totally fine for a $20 a night no-frills room. Nothing special but no complaints. Staff are friendly and always nice to be directly beachfront.

It's just basic, but you get what you pay for. The pros: Direct beach access. The beach is tranquil and well maintained. The food at the bar is very good. The chef is outstanding. Pablo and Luis were friendly. The cons: They are stingy with the coffee. The rooms are bare-bones minimal, but clean. The fan is loud and doesn't work well. I travelled with my mom and we booked 2 rooms. I would recommend it more as a hostel for younger travelers. The amenities, service and everything are very basic. If you are a backpacker in your 20s, with low expectations and on a budget, then this would work out perfectly.

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.

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.
