Set in San Francisco, 38 km from Montezuma Waterfal, Alouatta Playa Coyote offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. Boasting a tour desk, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

All guest rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. At Alouatta Playa Coyote all rooms have a shared bathroom and bed linen.

Yen and Misha are awesome hosts, very nice, always asking and recommending places and activities to do. There were also two Argentinean volunteers, Mela and Pablo, that made our experience even better. The tents are quite big and comfortable, the common area with an European style is beautiful, full equipped kitchen, plays, books and clean bathrooms. They also have outside showers to clean surfboards. The property is all well set, you can see different animals while drinking a fruit drink. Is better if you have car, the town is 10 minutes walking, the closest beach, Coyote about 2km, much more great places also nearby. It is the perfect place to relax and slow down while enjoying nature.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
