Ruamoko Hostel

Hidden behind a bamboo stockade, a 10-minute walk to Playa Jiquelite, this is a backpacker haunt where travelers find themselves lingering longer than planned. It's the atmosphere that lures them; the staff organize nightly entertainment, from tacos and trivia to open mic night. Many lose track of time, surfing by day and sipping a beer in a hammock by night.
