Pleasant stay. Clean hostel. Good breakfast.
Go on the daytrip to Minca and the one to Playa Crystal. Don't go on the one to Playa Blanca.
Hope to return one day.

Questions about La Guaca Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at La Guaca Hostel?
Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does La Guaca Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does La Guaca Hostel have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at La Guaca Hostel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does La Guaca Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does La Guaca Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book La Guaca Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
