Troncones Point Hostel

This is my second stay at Troncones point hostel and I will be back. Beautiful, clean, and best of all great people both times. Owners, staff, and guests were all great to know. It felt safe and easy. The location is excellent, while not right on the beach it’s a very short walk across the street to a gorgeous trial at the rocky part of the coast and maybe 5 -10 minutes around to sandy swimming/surfing beach in the bay. Restaurants are within walking distance though a bike or car open up a lot more options. The closest small shop with some food items is about a mile away or stop in Zihjuat if you plan to cook in often. The restaurants are tasty though! I highly recommend Troncones Point Hostel if you enjoy interacting with other travelers. It is a hostel, not a hotel, but a really nice one!

This hostel was by far one of the best ones I've ever stay. First of all, the attention from the staff was amazing (thanks a lot Nico! ) and specially Lis was very kind to me in this solo short trip. The villa is so cozy, the rooms are very clean, spacious, the common areas are perfect to relax and enter to the vibe. Also there are good recommendations of what to do around troncones, surfing is a great option. The hostel is quite close to the beach and it is perfect to see the sunset. Definitely my stay was very lovely and specially for the great vibe and cozy atmosphere in Troncones point. For sure see you soon!

Amazing experience on the Surf Safari and stay at the hostel. Troncones is a beautiful spot, surrounded by an abundance of good waves, sunny days and positive vibes. The meals on the safari were excellent, the rooms and grounds were very clean and the sunsets from the kitchen/hangout were truly spectacular. Tom and Liz were awesome hosts, sharing a special slice of life on the Pacific. Thanks for the good times. No pasa nada.

Do yourself a huge favor and book this trip now! I had an amazing time on the Surf Safari with Tom and I can’t recommend it enough. Tom and Lizzette take care of you like you’re their oldest friends and you’ll get a truly custom tailored experience in every since of the word. The first surf session is used to analyze your current skill level. Don’t worry though, you don’t need to be Kelly Slater you just need a bit of surfing experience and you’ll be good to go! After understanding where your current skill level is, Tom then creates a whole trip for you. Besides observation he’ll ask you how aggressive you want to be on this trip. And remember it’s YOUR vacation He’ll remind you of this A LOT LOL. . So if you want to surf 3.5hrs a session 2x a day you can do that. If you want to surf 40 minutes 2x a day you can do that. If you want to relax and have some drinks and kick back that’s great! Or if you are simply there to be a vegan, recover between sessions and surf til your arms fall off, that’s fine too 😊 Your morning will start with a delicious home kicked meal from Lizzett (Tom’s wife) with Tom and your morning surf guide Evan (best surfer in town). Everyday is different, but expect fresh fruit, coffee, a main dish like huevos rancheros and side dishes like homemade pancakes. Then you will all go to the morning break. This can be by car or boat (depending on the conditions and analysis Tom did of your skills). After a killer morning session, you’ll go back to your hostel and let me tell you it’ s no ordinary hostel. The grounds are beautiful, and you’ll have a private room with your own patio. The communal kitchen is where people socialize and has amazing air flow and an ocean view of Troncones point. A short break and then Lizzette will cook you another amazing meal! After some relaxing, a stretch, nap or beer (or all the above) it’s back for an afternoon session (typically at Salidita given afternoon winds). After another session of Tom or Evan giving you great advice about where to paddle out, which way the currents go, where to take off from etc you’ll head back from some evening socializing and then out to dinner at one of the local restaurants (included in the price of your trip). It’s up to you how much partying or resting you want to, but everything is customized to YOU. So don’t be afraid to tell them EXACTLY what you want! Halfway through the trip you have an option to take a boat to Palo Alto or to go fishing. As it was double-triple overhead I said let’s fish! And it’s the best kind fishing. Bring some drinks snacks and prepare to have the captain troll and hand you the pole once something is hooked. We saw turtles, a school of dolphins and pulled in enough bonita for fish tacos that night. There’s also a massage included on this day to help you recover from all the 2xday surf sessions! I had an incredible time on this trip and am certainly going back. I really can’t recommend it enough and think Tom actually undersells it, but

A nice and welcoming hostel with comfortable hotel standard, very kind and and helpful hosts. Beautiful sunsets, pelicans and wonderful beaches, better for surfers than families with children.

My first stay in a hostel and it was a great experience. Tom and Lisette were warm and friendly, and I met people of all ages from all over the world. The vibe is very chill and the property is beautiful and well kept. The beach access is right across the street and the sunset view from the kitchen are spectacular. It's a fairly long walk into the village so I'd recommend renting a bike, but many successfully hitchhike as well. A+
