Room2Board Hostel and Surf School

Fantastic stay with the Room2Board Hostel and Surf School. The rooms and facilities were always clean and well maintained. The kitchen and social area was open early until late which helped a lot for planning meals while traveling. The staff was amazing and the surf instructing class was incredibly helpful. (It helped that the beach is a minute away through the backyard!) Plan to stay here and take a surf class with Cesar!

This is the best hostel in town. As a solo traveller in my early 50's, I wasn't sure if a hostel was the right fit. To my surprise, there were many other people there in similar situations. I stayed for almost 6 weeks. The hostel is exceptionally clean. The housekeeping and maintenance staff are amazing. There is a great swimming pool, bar and a small restaurant on site serving breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The bar and reception staff are so much fun. The location is perfect. The beach is one minute walk up the laneway. The main street is 3-4 minute walk where you will find coffee shops, local sodas, groceries, pharmacies, shops and car rental. Everything you need is within walking distance. The hostel has many types of accommodations to serve a group of younger people, single women sharing and couples who prefer privacy. They hold great theme nights, but do not worry, the music is off by 11:00pm. They support an amazing volunteer program hosting young people from all over the world. I had so many amazing roommates while staying there. What a great experience. They have a great tour desk and surfing team to help you with your lessons. Brian (the owner) is very sincere. Always introducing himself to new guests and making sure that every guest's stay is perfect. I have told everyone I know to add this place to their bucket list. Yes, I ABSOLUTELY will return next year, and 100% recommend this accommodation. Room2Board is fantastic.

Such a fun party atmosphere ! Very clean! I had my own room and shared bathroom which was perfect. They also have a small kitchen if you want to make some of your own food and save money. The food was good , employees were great! Walking distance to the ocean with incredible views on the roof.
