The affable Gabi presides over this rustic beachfront hostel, expanded to include a larger, brighter kitchen and a brand-new ocean-view dorm. A Polonio classic, it also features a hammock-strewn patio and a woodstove for stormy nights. The abandoned TV in the dunes out front and the custom-designed NoFi logo epitomize owner Alfredo's low-tech philosophy: slow down and unplug!
