The Driftwood Surfer Best Beach Hostel Restaurant Bar

I had such a great time here in El Paredon. The staff made me feel at home and I left with a lot of new friends. It is located right on the beach, the pool is fun and the views from the rooftop restaurant are amazing! Potato the micro pig was hilarious and does tricks. The food was delicious and for Q59 all you can eat is a steal of a deal. Definitely recommend Driftwood!

I LOVE Driftwood it’s an amazing time. The staff is friendly, the owners are fun. It’s a super social place and easy to make friends havin a few drinks around the pool. The rooms are a great bang for your buck, i recently stayed in a private room and it was super comfy. Free coffee in the morning followed by a michelada, not a better place to be after a night at the beach. Highly recommend

This is by far my favourite beach hostel in Latin America. Situated right on the beach, you can wake up and jump right into the ocean-with or without a surfboard. There’s also usually a beach volleyball game happening too. The pool has a swim up bar where you can get involved in games or relaxed with a book in a hammock. The food is delicious. There’s a fresh a la cart menu during the day (the smoothies are healthy and so refreshing), and there’s a big family dinner buffet every evening. The dinners change nightly, showcasing meals made from scratch, inspired by different places around the world. Even the pasta is made from scratch! There’s always equal meat and vegetarian choices, along with plenty of healthy as well as comfort food choices. After dinner, there’s nightly entertainment where all the guests can get involved. Think karaoke, speed dating, music trivia etc. There’s a plethora of costumes that always get busted out too! The staff are all very happy, upbeat and friendly, making the vibes super welcoming. They employ all local kitchen and cleaning staff who all stayed employed through out the COVID lock downs. I keep returning to this amazing place, year after year. Every time I go, I’m impressed to see the updates and improvements the owners are constantly making. I always stay longer than I had intended and I’m always planning my return. I highly recommend this amazing place!

Driftwood Surfer is a great hostel. I had an amazing time here. The staff is really nice and helpfull. The food is delicious and nice big portions. Good parties with great people. Driftwood is also great for surfing! They have good instructors. And its right on the beach. Super cool!

One of the most fun hostels I stayed in within 7 months of travelling. The volunteers at the time were all really cool. The food was good and themed nights were also great. The party life there was also amazing! It’s an isolated place so very quickly you get to know everyone in the hostel. I came alone and soon felt at home here. Diana the manager is also very friendly
