This funky new hostel on the malecón is where the young people hang out. It has a welcoming atmosphere and a TV lounge with swings as seats, plus games like Jenga and beer pong. Rooms are small but clean, with minimalist decor and bright colorful accents. A bar was being built at the time of research, adjacent to a balcony with beach views.
