Troncones Point Hostel

Wonderful stay with fantastic hosts: Beautiful location and only a short walk to the surf. The hostel included everything I needed as a solo travel. Everyone was very friendly and the owner even took us all out for dinner one night. Will definitely be coming back.

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!

I had an amazing time at Troncones Point. The place has an amazing atmosphere, clean and confortable rooms and beautiful common areas such as a garden with hammocks and a perfectly equiped kitchen with a beautiful view and a nice hang out area. Owners and volunteers are always ready to help with any recommendation needed, as well as a good chat :) It doesn't hold too many guests, which is amazing for creating an intimate, friendly and cozy vibe. Location is directly in front of the surf spot and other amazing waves are a short drive/ride away - there's no better place to be if you're looking for a good surf, chill vibe and beautiful views! I hope I can come back soon.

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

Beautiful hostel with a perfect location if you want to surf the surrounding point breaks. Tom and Liz are wonderful hosts and they made me feel very welcome! The rooms are very clean and the community kitchen on the rooftop is a beautiful place to hangout! Tom can also help you out with any questions regarding the surrounding surf spots!
