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

Statyed for over a week and loved this place. Patrick & Celine are incredibly gracious hosts, interesting conversationalists, excellent fire dancers and more. Felt like we were in the know about the area within the first couple of days and it made the stay even more relaxing and cool. Excellent value and location is perfect for surf or for staging surf excursions daily.
