ATTN all travelers. DENGUE FEVER at Troncones Point Hostel NOW. I was staying at troncones point hostel from Nov 20 - 29th, 2018. A girl was staying below me who contracted Dengue fever and was in very bad shape, like deathly ill. Tom and Lizz did nothing to warn the other travelers about this, nor quarantined her. When I brought it up to them, explaining that it was their responsibility to inform guests that their hostal is now a high risk zone for dengue they did nothing except denounce the hard scientific evidence surrounding what a dengue fever outbreak looks like. They didn't even warn guests to apply repellant after I asked them to numerous times. Instead they made up facts about dengue and clearly didn't care about their guests well-being but rather making money. I ended up informing guests myself, all of whom were shocked by their uneducated behavior surrounding this. Here are the facts about dengue, please do your own research if you'd like to confirm what I've thoroughly researched (I also come from a scientific background): Incubation is between 4 days and two weeks once a mosquito with dengue bites. Once a mosquito has dengue they have it for their entire life. Mosquitoes generally stay within an acre of their birthplace for their entire life and feed on all things warm blooded up to three times a day. These facts make Troncones Point hostal a dengue outbreak high risk zone. I would stay far away from this place for a few months.
