Hotel's location is perfect- 3 min from the beach. Great crowd, and great guests at this hotel. I met so many wonderful people from all over the world. They were all very nice and like-minded. I think the best part of the hotel are the guests.
The staff we're not bad, but they're also not great. They did not seem to be happy with their job. It was not exceptional, but it was not, but either. I wish they were a lot more friendlier.

The atmosphere and clientelle is awesome. Staff is helpful, does also speak English. Private room is very nice, with nice bathroom and functioning AC. Location is great.
Didn’t like the dorms too much. Also wished they had more surfboards for rent for beginner/intermediate.

Location was pretty great and the value was top notch. Very short walk to the beach. I parked my car at the other Papaya hotel in Surf City which no one seemed to have a problem with. Room was pretty spacious.
As may be typical in El Salvador there was no hot water in the shower, though it was pleasant enough.

Perfect location in El tunco, so convenient for surfing, going to the beach and restaurants/ bars. Very sociable. Clean room. The pool area is great in the day to hang round and meet people.
loud at night with bars next door, people chatting outside room at 4am every night. The breakfast was very average but what do you expect free from a hostel. But nothing bad about the hostel.

I love how close to the beach it is and the convenience of being by “downtown”
The cost was a bit high for what it actually is but it is conveniently by the beach.
