“Comfortable with an amazing view”
+The female dorm is actually really nice, the beds each have nets and are very comfortable (not bunks!!). The kitchen was nice too! I absolutely loved the common areas directly on the beach, you can lay in the couches or hammocks and doze off to the ocean sounds, it’s great.
−There could be an outside bathroom for example when we’re at the common areas, so we don’t have to go back in the room. Also there’s quite a lot of bees around the sink area which can seem scary at first, but no one got stung. It is quite a long walk away from the surf spot as well.

“Great Location, but not so so comfy”
+This hostel is on the beachfront, so the location is great. Alejo, the host, is a nice guy. The photos show a pretty good look at how the hostel is.
−Look, I'm not gonna lie, the property feels as if it is a little "forgotten". The room had no airco, and a fan that barely worked, and I'm telling you, it was hot inside, so hot the first night I couldn't sleep well... and I'M A LOCAL TO THIS COUNTRY. The kitchen lacked important things, such as more than two forks. It's a place with lots of potential, but overall, things look and feel a little messy. There's room for improvement for sure, like: board games, airco in the private rooms, and better kitchen supplies.

“Perfect location, great people (both guests and staff) converge here. Would highly recommend”
+Loved our stay at Escondide Pacifico The location is just perfect, no words needed. Steps from the water and the most beautiful sunsets from your hammock. Plenty of chill space and a nice crowd, the owner Alejo is just about the coolest guy you’ll ever meet. You won’t regret spending some time with him. Staff friendly and attentive, good value for money, and home to the best beach volleyball court on the Pacific coast Stay here 🤙

“Secret Paradise in Popoyo!”
+Probably one of my favorite hostels on my trip in Central America! I love that there are no bunk beds so everyone has a single bed and it was very comfy. I loved waking up early in the morning and sitting by the beach. The sitting area was very comfortable and was perfect to cool down as sometimes it’s too hot to sit all day on the beach ! There are a few restaurants in the area and one little shop! There is a fruit truck that goes by everyday. Loved watching the sunset every evening from there.
−Everything was fine. I wish I could of stayed longer but didn’t realize the Popoyo secret beach party was happening that weekend so had to move to a different hostel as it was fully booked.

“Superb”
+Very relaxed stay! Great location out onto the beach with nice chilled places to relax in the hammocks/couches. Helpful friendly staff and owner.
−The power outages that left without wifi/ power almost every day, even though I know this is popoyo wide not just specific to thus property. Just think that maybe this should be informed to guests before hand!

“Geen aanrader.”
+De locatie was top. Meteen aan het strand.
−De faciliteiten zijn onacceptabel. We zijn na 1 nacht vertrokken omdat het zo slecht was. Geen douchekop. Vloer in de douche is afgebrokkeld. Schimmel op de muur. De eigenaar en poetshulp doen hun best, maar de accommodatie is simpelweg slecht. Toen we aankwamen was er geen water. Werd na een aantal uur pas gemaakt. Dit is GEEN aanrader. Hopelijk wordt deze accommodatie snel opgeknapt. We wensen ze het beste.
