    I recently stayed at a fantastic hostel called Caracolito for a few days while enjoying the beach in Nicaragua. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the sea. The spacious dorm was clean and fresh, with incredibly comfortable beds. The highlight was definitely the bathroom, which was the best I've ever seen in a hostel. The big kitchen had everything you could need and was available for everyone to use. The hosts were kind and welcoming, creating a great vibe and making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach atmosphere.

    Couldn't recommend this hostel more.

    I had an amazing experience at a hostel in Las Penitas. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, providing me with all the information I needed for my first surf lesson. The hostel itself was clean and the beds were comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. There was a large communal area and a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for socializing and cooking meals. The location was unbeatable, right in front of a beautiful beach. I can confidently say that this hostel is the place to be for a fantastic stay in Las Penitas!

    I had an amazing stay at a hostel in Las Penitas. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home. The hostel had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with plenty of places to chill out and socialize. The outdoor seating area was particularly nice, and the breakfast they served was delicious. The location was also convenient, just a short walk away from the beach. I loved the cool and unique design of the hostel, especially the beautiful bathrooms. I had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Las Penitas.

    The rooms were a bit on the small side, and there weren't any hooks or hangers to properly store our clothing. Additionally, the fan in our room was quite dirty and we had to clean it ourselves.
