Honestly a really good hostel. I was apprehensive as heard it was purely a party hostel but it’s sooo much more than that! They have amazing food, loads of different areas to chill and speak to people, volley ball, pool table, loads of hammocks to chill in. They have massages too which I didn’t do but heard they were great. Staff also lovely Overall a great stay

Had the best time in the hostel. Christian and Aruan were unbelievable bar tenders and we had great fun on Tuesday!!! Would 100% recommend. Drinks were 10/10 the nights out were INSANE (especially Thursday and Sunday…) The food was also so so good. Beds were clean and rooms were nice. ALSO do the sunrise hike🔥🔥🔥

All the staff at El Rio have been really welcoming. Yoyo has answered all of our questions and has been so helpful! The food at the hostel has been delicious, there’s a large selection. There’s loads of cool activities on every day. It’s been a really social experience and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms and amenities were fantastic. We’d definitely recommend!

Fun party hostel, super sociable and easy to meet people. Shoutout to Will who made tubing a really fun experience and shared lots of cool videos with us. Would recommend this hostel if you like to party. Only downside was that the fan was broken in our treehouse room was broken so it was super hot and difficult to sleep.
