We’ve got a proud papa in the house helping us celebrate our 9.3 on Booking.com ✨ In the words of Larry, “If you’re not staying at Casa del Sol, you’re missing out.” And honestly… parents usually know best. He’s not wrong. March reservations are now open. February is already full. Feeling deeply thankful for every guest who has walked through our doors and felt the magic of this place. Grateful. Grounded. Growing. Casa del Sol just keeps unfolding the way it’s meant to ✨ So much gratitude 🤍

Etwas entfernt vom Zentrum (ca. 800m), dafür eine ruhige und entspannte Atmosphäre. Super Frühstück und nettes, zuvorkommendes Personal.

Muy buena experiencia , desde la llegada ,hasta el desayuno ,los espacios comunes son amplios y muy decorados, tal vez las instalaciones de las habitaciones comunes podrían mejorar, pero ofrecen un muy buen servicio en relación al precio

Me quedé una vez en 2022. En otra ocasión que fui les intenté contactar por privado para que NO pagaran la comisión que aplica Booking. Me dieron un precio bastante superior al de Booking y me pidieron que esperara un día. Tras ello subieron los precios por Booking para evitar tener un mejor precio. Uno intenta ayudarles y te la clavan por la espalda. Cuidado con el personal, son traicioneros

Schön Außerhalb des lauten Hotspots von Montañita, eine Oase der Entspannung. Sehr schön gemacht. Stimmung ist super, man kann gut Leute kennenlernen und alle sind mega freundlich und git gelaunt. Küche ist Top ausgestattet, gratis Leihfahrräder, Surfboards zum leihen, Yogastunden, Massage, Ausflüge usw. Es ist mega sauber auch die Zimmer und das Frühstück ist das beste, dass ich je in einem Hostel bekam. Preis-Leistung unschlagbar.

Sehr ästhetisches und liebevolles Hostel/Hotel. Das Frühstück war super lecker. Der Spanischunterricht und die Yogastunden sind ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Die Mitarbeiter (insbesondere Alejo) sind super herzlich. Insgesamt eine ruhige angenehme Lage etwas abseits von Party und Trubel. Einziger Minuspunkt: Es gibt keine Schließfächer.

Amazing stay! I actually ended up extending my stay because I enjoyed it so much. A lot of guests have already returned multiple times, so there’s a really nice community feeling where people know each other and quickly connect. The crowd is generally 25+ and there were also some families and older guests, which created a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The team is incredibly helpful and always easy to reach if you need anything. You can also rent surfboards directly on site, which makes things very convenient. 🏄🏼‍♀️🌊 They also offer daily yoga classes, which was a big highlight for me. My session with Tamara was especially great – very intense, challenging, and incredibly good. The 4 bed dorms are quite basic. The only thing I was missing was a safe or a lockable locker for valuables. There is also no AC, so the rooms can get pretty hot at times. Every morning from 8–10 am they serve a great breakfast that changes daily, which was always a really nice start to the day. La Punta is a fantastic area for socializing and the surf spot is excellent. I felt comfortable here right away and would definitely come back anytime.

I was disappointed by my stay here. My head was a bit all over the place before I arrived and I was looking forward to chilling out. I don't usually spend this much on hostels but decided to make an exception for a night or two. A big part of the reason I chose the stay was the beautiful yoga room. My plan was to spend an afternoon doing yoga, dancing, and hula hooping as this usually helps to clear my mind and I haven't been able to do this in a long time. The morning after my first night, there was a yoga class until 12pm. At 12.30 I asked could I go to the yoga room now and spend a few hours there. I was then told that the yoga room is not available for general use. Not available for general use??? As you can see above, their title inclides eat.sleep.yoga.surf, and this is on a big sign outside the hostel too. Their marketing heavily heavily features pictures of the yoga room, I was shown the yoga room when I first arrived, and their website says it is a "space for self practice". I feel like all this should come with an asterix *terms and conditions apply, yoga room is not available for personal practice, only available 1-2 hours per day during scheduled classes, $8 per class. In my year of travelling I've never stayed in a yoga hostel where they do not let customers use the yoga room. When I tried to have this conversation with them they made me feel like it was weird that I would be expecting to be able to use it. They said twice or three times that it doesn't explicitly say on the website that it is available for use. One of the women told me I was welcome to use the surfboard storage room, or to move some furniture and make a space for myself in the common area Obviously I'm not going to do that. I'm not travelling with a yoga mat so I need access to the equipment, and I also don't want to do yoga/dancing/hooping, any of that in public. After a bit of back and forth they did let me use it for half an hour before the cleaning staff were due to come in to wax the floor. A rushed half an hour didn't really help my mindset at all as it's hard to get into the flow when you are watching the clock. The attitude was as though I was being unreasonable, which I really didn't feel like I was. Apparently they had some issues with yoga equipment and money going missing from the room. Which first of all is not my problem, second of all why were you keeping money in an unsupervised room, third of all put the equipment away. It wouldn't be that difficult to buy a cabinet and put a lock on it. Then you can have a person write down that they take and charge them if they don't bring it back in good condition. It was a weird experience overall. I still give it 2 stars because the bed was comfy enough, and the rooms were very clean. Breakfast was a decent portion. But the WiFi was pretty patchy. And the WiFi worked fine in the hostel next door where I went for dinner one evening. So it's not an area thing, it's just their problem. Anyway, rant over. I'm moving to a much much cheaper hostel today as this one is just not worth double the price of a lot of other hostels in town.

This place was wretched. Mold everywhere. We pre-booked this hostel in March 2014. 50% deposit via Paypal only was required, non refundable within 72 hours of arrival. Arriving late in the afternoon, we would not have checked in if we had not already prepaid the required 50% deposit. We were greeted by a nice guy from Canada who showed us to our room and the the real pleasantries began. Simply put: How do you spell pigsty? C A S A d e l S O L. This is THE most disgusting filthy place we have ever stayed. We felt stuck not only because they had our money but because it was late in the afternoon and we did not know where to go. The bedding was stained, pillows were lumpy and we later learned it had bed bugs.The curtains were held up by some odd pieces of wire. Light switch was not attached to the wall just left hanging by its electric wiring.. Walls were filthy. Bathroom floor was filthy with body hair. Mold was on the walls, floor, shower, sink, everywhere you looked there was mold. The vinyl, padded toilet seat looked like someone had set off some fireworks on it. It was all tattered, torn and filthy. The room looked like it was assembled entirely from trash collected at a dump heap - honestly. We found better digs just across the street and down a few doors early the next morning. Unique Qualities: Mold, bed bugs, total indifference to patron's comfort or health, breakfast consisting of coffee and daily entry, no choice, no juice. Yoga classes (are you kidding me? Yoga at this place? Why? No, seriously. why?) to music that sounds like a Muslim call to prayer. Additionally, this place is NOT on the beach. It is across the street behind the hostels that are on the beach. There is no beach view.

Nous avons passé 10 jours dans cet Hostal yoga / surf a 20 $ par personne la nuit.||Si nous mettons la note "médiocre" ce n'est pas dû à L'hotel mais du a l'accueil que nous avons eu.||L'hotel est vraiment bien placé à 15 min de Montanita, au bord de l'eau, au calme, les chambres sont biens et propres et le petit déjeuner de Juanito est magnifique. ||Mais, le problème c'est la patronne. Elle parle de son hôtel comme une maison de famille mais on en est loin ...||Cet hôtel est fréquente que par les canadiens, les américains ou australiens. Si vous n'êtes pas d'une de ces nationalités, la patronne ne vous considère pas.||Elle ne gère pas du tout son Hotel, dès qu'il y a un problème (par exemple avec la douche) elle vous répondra sans vous écouter qu'elle n'a jamais entendu parler et que ce n'est pas de sa faute. Heureusement que Juanito est là pour tout gérer. ||Nous avons eu l'impression de la déranger tout le temps. ||Quelle déception... Nous n'avons pas profitez ni du yoga ni du surf, car mal grès nos 10 nuits nous n'avons eu aucun discounts, ni sur le surf, ni sur le yoga. ||Nous sommes honnêtes et nous avons quand même passé un bon moment dans cet endroit, mais pour le prix on s'attend à un peu plus d'attention (aucun tips sur la ville et les excursions) et de sourire.||La patronne gagnerai plus a être plus aimable. ||Pour les cours de surf, ne passer pas par l'hôtel, plus cher et moins bien. Vous trouverez une super école de surf sur la plage juste à côté (20$ les deux heures à deux). Pour le yoga, il paraît que les cours sont bien mais 8$ le cours ( casi le même prix en France) ||Je ne conseille pas l'hôtel mais je ne le déconseille pas non plus.
