in front of a beautiful beach, the balconada is a luxury and quite expansive small hostel, spotless and confy. Our double ensuite room was bright and big, breakfast is healthy, simple, with cakes and bread, yogurt, juice and fresh fruit. Friendly staff. The location is perfect, by the sea and 10 minutes walk to the center of La Paloma and... More

Its a small Hostel near good beach. It has only one little kitchen, only one spoon + only one fridge. They rent every single room and lived themselves in the livingroom area. TV is on the whole day. It has to many rooms for such small facilities. The owners are a family with two little kids (its quiet noisy the... More

I had a great time staying here for numerous reasons. The staff are friendly and helpful for one and it's pretty much right on the beach. You just have to cross a quiet road and go over the sand dune and you're there. There's a good, although slightly expensive restaurant right on the other side of the road. The people... More

I arrived unexpected at the hostel in the middle of winter, hardly business months. No one was around, but I was discovered quickly enough by Fernando. Was checked in and made to feel right at home - in fact the entire place was mine. I stayed for 4 nights partly due to an ankle injury that prevented me from cycling... More

Next to paying your cab from the bus station, the staff is always helpful, the beach is close and living room & kitchen are cleaned twice a day. Plus: fresh fruits for breakfast. Really enjoyed staying there!

Spent 4 days here with my husband in a dorm and would have stayed longer if there'd been time. The cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in - I swear the shares bathrooms were cleaned 4 times a day. It was a 10 step walk to the beach and a great restaurant, and a 10 minute stroll into town. Staff were... More

Loved this hostel from the moment we turned up and they paid for our taxi from the bus station. Staff are friendly and I've never seen such a clean hostel. The large, shared bathrooms were cleaned at least 3 times a day!! Breakfast was all the fresh fruit you could eat along with fresh bread and jams and wifi was... More

A nice hostel right on the beach (a sand dune prevents a sea viewbut it's basically still on the beach!) Good vibe to the place and a nice lounge area upstairs. Our 4 person dorm was clean and nice enough. The kitchen is full of flies but I noticed there are a lot of flies in the places we stayed... More

The staff are excellent. The atmosphire and socal scene is very good. The rooms are quite small with no AC or fans. Very hot..... The party starts around midnight and goes unitl about 4am. If you want quiet or sleep, this is not the place for you. If you want to meet others and have fun, go for it.
