Incredible ocean view, terrace with chill out bar, pool area and comfortable rooms. Balú is more than a hostel, it is an experience. We have wifi service in the rooms and breakfast is included. The bar is next to the pool and from the afternoon you can try our the delicious cocktails. For dinner we have an economic menu of homemade food. The weekends, we have activities on the rooftop bar, like bands and DJs, so you always have something new and fun to do with your friends.

Really cool, fun, and clean hostel. My husband and I stayed in one of their private rooms for 5 days here. The room was awesome- huge king sized bed, air conditioning, mini fridge, balcony, TV- very spacious. Felt like being in a big hotel room. Their dormitory rooms also looked nice and spacious although we didn’t stay in them. A nice breakfast of eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, and toast is included with your stay. They also have fabulous cocktails and really great food that are super reasonably priced... check out their all you can eat pizza on Monday/Friday nights! Only $100 pesos and they home make all the dough themselves. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They also have a really cool rooftop bar where you can go hang out and watch the sunset. This place is also very central and you can easily walk to everything! Would go back and stay there tomorrow if we could :)…

Stayed here for 6 days with my partner in a private room with a fan and aircon. No concerns about the room, it was very large and cleaned daily. Very much hostel vibes in the evening but during the day quiet as everyone goes to the beach together. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. They tried to include you in activities. Some of the activities included pizza parties, DJ, magician, nights out as well as daily trips to the beach. Beautiful 360 degree view from the roof which I have included in the post. I would highly recommend to stay here on the island.
