Muy lindo Hostel La Ballena, estuvimos en el primer piso,tres noches , se comparte la cocina. tiene un comedor muy lindo y amplio . Esta muy limpio . Convivimos muy tranquilos, con personas de muchos paises distintos. La gente que atiende en el lugar es muy cordial. Lo recomiendo . Cerca de la playa , se llega caminando, esta en la calle principal. Es segura la zona. Buen precio . Respetan horarios para dormir.

Very small and basic, holes in the mosquito net, no soap in the bathroom, couldn’t flush the toilets, breakfast was nice, friendly staff. You leave a deposit when you check in, in case u lose the key. Nowhere to park. Short walk to the beach. Free cold water. Was okey but wouldn’t really recommend.
