My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay on our last night in Zihuat and wondered into troncones to find this wonderful little hostel. we were there in august which is a very slow tourist season, so we had the place to ourselves which was fantastic. Patrick and Celine were awesome and the most gracious hosts. they made an amazing dinner for us and we stayed up late and had great conversation with them. patrick showed off his awesome fire spinning skills!! we slept great knowing there was a bug net surrounding us but due to the heat we had our windows open and a bat flew in the room and killed himself in the fan (we were sad to find him laying on the floor dead when we turned on our lights). the next day the boys went surfing while Celine, the dogs and i sat in the water and talked.
my boyfriend and i still talk about how great our stay was at the surf club and just last week we were saying how much we want to go back. And we still tell stories about the composting toilets ;)
Patrick followed us into town the day we left so he could get supplies so i got to thank him for the wonderful hospitality, but I never got to thank celine! so if you guys read this, thank you again patrick and thank you so much celine! hope you guys enjoyed that tequila that we couldnt take on the plane!

I stayed in Troncones several years ago at a hotel in town and had always wanted to come back. I finally got the opportunity to come down for a month, initially I planned to stay at the same hotel as before because I had enjoyed my stay there, or at the yoga retreat here in town. After reading through reviews I ruled out the yoga retreat (still doing classes there though) and I found this surf hostel and read so many positive reviews, helpful responses from management and it is very affordable. Best of all was
that it is a hostel and after traveling through Europe that way I found it is such a good way to meet friends from all over the world and have a small sense of community while you're some place foreign. Since I
was traveling alone for a month I chose this hostel. Not at anytime have I regretted it! Celine and Patrick are amazing people, can't say enough about them. They have made this into such a welcoming and peaceful place. My room is cleaned daily, Patrick cooks some fantastic food (community dinners are such a fun aspect of staying here), the beach is a moments walk away, surf trips, movie night started while I've been here (projector and screen) they have a wide&wonderful assortment of movies, I've met people from all over that I'm sure I'll see again, yoga is right down the street, a man in a truck drives by several times a week with local fruits & veggies, there is a stove and fridge in my room, they focus on sustainable living and I've learned a lot about composting :) fantastic library in the office....
Well I could go on and on, I love it here! You could not ask for better hosts.

Great left-handers offr troncones point!! Pat & Cel are nothing short of amazing people! bRAVO~~ BEST HOSTEL IN THE WORLD!!!

Thank you Patrick and Celine for such an enjoyable week. I really enjoyed the surf trips which were accessible to me even being a beginner... and meeting great friends... and the cooking was so good. Everything so fresh, thanks for that awesome ahi recipe too...

This is an excellent place to stay for sun, sand, surf - in an english-speaking environment but still ample interaction with local culture. I'm grateful to find such a place, and was totally within my budget!

ps: "I got plowed by the Point" (surf)... but then I managed to ride one, lol
