Liked: The atmosphere was great, awesome common area and homely dorms.

Disliked: Location... Bit far from the main drag of Zicatela, but still close to other great beaches. Cheap taxi's anyway but still a bit of a hassle.

Liked: Great fun hanging out by the pool, meeting lots of people in a chilled out atmosphere. Pool table is good. Table tennis table is a bit average but playable. Kitchen is good. Have stayed in quite a few different rooms here and some are way better than others. If you don't like your room they will try change it for you. Nearly always beer in the fridge you can buy cheaply.

Disliked: It's a bit far from the beaches but cabs go past all the time and cost only a buck or two. Got drunk one night and left my Ipod in the common area where we were playing pool and listening to music. It got nicked which was very silly on my part for leaving it there, but still puts a bad taste in your mouth.

Liked: The hostel has a really nice open air area with a swimming pool, table tennis and a pool table. The kitchen was pretty clean and well-equipped. The staff and the owner are very friendly. A supermarket is in walking distance (breakfast not included!). The only swimming beach of the town is 20 walking minutes away. A bar with cheap beer and cocktails is supposed to be open at night. They offered excursions.

Disliked: The location is not perfect, if you want to go to the city center or to the bus terminal.

Liked: Good atmosphere with a bar just at the swimming pool (which I absolutely loved). On our last day, we had to check out at 11AM but our coach to the next place was due 7.30PM and it was raining the whole day. So the staff let us stay at the hostel and use everything, even showed us a bathroom we could use after being checked out of our room. The room had a TV, fridge and everything.

Disliked: Well first of all, it really does look like in the pictures, and the rooms are extremely spacious, I´ve never been to a hostel room this big. But what you don´t see in the pictures is the way the room stinks. I mean, it´s really smelly, I could feel that room from my clothes for nearly a week after:) Also there were cockroaches. Still the cleaning lady did come every day and changed towels and everything, it´s not to say the hostel was dirty. Another disadvantage is the location. It´s like miles away from everything, especially the beaches. But as taxis are so cheap in Puerto, it´s actually like using public transport, so never mind. There´s no breakfast and just one computer at the reception if you´re really desperate for internet (but we prefered an internet cafe in Puerto).
