Just one block from Playa El Emir, Punta's best – and best-located – hostel keeps improving, thanks to thoughtful owners and regular reinvestments in infrastructure. New in 2017, all dorms are now air-conditioned, and there's a spacious new deck, thatched-roof bar area out back and pizzeria up front to go with the pre-existing guest barbecue.
Seven private rooms with en-suite bath and flat-screen TV combine with seven dorms (three to 10 beds each), catering to a variety of budgets. It has a sea-facing breakfast deck, an inviting living room with fireplace, and an attractive guest kitchen. On-site bike and surfboard rentals cost US$15 each per day.
