The Driftwood Surfer Best Beach Hostel Restaurant Bar

The oh of hostels in El paredon Guatemala. Great family dinners themed by various country. They protect the turtles, sponsor dentists to come to Guatemala and do all the right things. Try it, if you don't like it move on... But seriously a great landing spot.

My partner and I stayed at Mellow Hostel before coming here and we preferred this place so much more! Way nicer staff members who are incredibly inclusive with everyone! Maria, Thomas, Jose and Rusty are absolute legends! It’s a great location right next to the beach! Thanks for having us, Driftwood!

Driftwood is such a cool vibe for backpackers the community element is so amazing and everyone that stays and works there really cares about the place. Tons of fun to be had and so many awesome connections to be made, had such a memorable time

Definitely an hostel for people that doesn’t care to sleep in a dirty room, doesn’t want to sleep much and party ..So we were staying at mellow hostel at the beginning but when we got to El paredon I thought the driftwood seemed nice so we booked our last night there. We took a private room that has AC we wanted to spoil ourselves) .When we got there they had a problem with our room so it wasn’t ready because of the wait they give us another room but with a private bathroom. Well I wasn’t happy about that because we had the room that is defenetely where everything is going on like directly at the pool. Anyway bathroom was disgusting , the towel they give you was THE worst the towel was blue and after drying myself up I was blue) the bed is NOT comfortable at all , the noise was crazy until 3,4am. Don’t take a private room it’s so expensive for what it is. If you want to party you can still go there at night but sleep somewhere else. The only thing that was nice was the “family dinner” they do every night it was really good but also you can sign up for it even though your not sleeping there)

Great place ! The location is ideal, right in front of the beach, you can see the ocean from the balconies and people swimming and surfing there. Staff are friendly and the food is quite good. They rent surf board, and sell surf lessons which were very helpful. There is a beach volleyball court right between the hostel and the beach. Good wave to surf are right behind the hostel. Every night there are family dinners which are dinners that are there to socialize and get to know all other guests and staff and after dinner there is always something going on in the bar, wether it is trivia nights or other activities You have to know that people there like to party though. It is not out of control for sure, but it 's a place that is good to have a good time with a few drinks. It is not too bad tho, the music will stop no later than midnight. It is also good to know that you cannot bring your own food or drinks there, but as others hostels they have free filtered water and ice. Comfort ans cleanliness are alright, they are not exceptional, but they are in no means bad at all. If you like to have a bit of fun, enjoy the beach, learn to surf and meet people it is a great place. I recommend it
