    Family run hostel/apartments with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dorms have shared openplan kitchen and living area. The complex has a central communal pool area and rooftop terrace with bar, comfy seating and sunset views. Local to the beach...

    Der var en virkelig god rolig atmosfære. Patricia og Oscar var virkelig søde og hjælpsomme, og så lå det super tæt på stranden. Perfekt sted til nogle afslapningsdage tæt på Lima men i et roligt område.
