The Duck Dive El Tunco

Through online search I found this place. It’s so fun to hang out with pool table, ping pong playing and games. People are very nice and friendly. Clean rooms and bathroom and shower rooms.

Nothing

Good surfer vibe hostel and value for the money. The rooms had A/C. They did activities every day so there are options to socialize. I also enjoyed the cash mini market by the kitchen, it made it easy to get ingredients or snacks for the day. Good amount of showers and bathrooms so never had to wait too long if at all.

The location is not all that accessible to the beach or the town, you have to cross a river that is highly questionable water quality or walk along a dirt path again avoiding the dirty water. It grows on you after a couple times but still a smelly adventure. The town was building a bridge sidewalk on the muddiest part so maybe in a few months the walk will be less sketchy. The bunk beds are also light metal so every movement shakes the top and bottom bunks so not recommended for light sleepers or if you move in your sleep. Also climbing to the top bunk I almost tipped it over.

Location is great! the host is super friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is next level

It was on the outskirts of town, but really close by. It’s very walkable. Close to a great and cheap cevicheria. The music was good, the staff was nice, and the layout was really open air. People seemed to respect quiet hours so that each person had the autonomy to decide if they wanted a 3am night or not, instead of that being enforced on them.

It is quite new, so there are parts of it still under construction
