    I had an amazing time at this hostel! The location couldn't be better, just a short walk from the pier. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The double room I stayed in was basic but had everything I needed, including a good shower and comfy bed. The hostel also offered great facilities, like a pool and common area where we could socialize and have fun. I would definitely stay here again!

    One small issue was that the bathroom didn't have great air circulation, so it could get a bit stuffy after a few days.

    What an incredible stay! The pool-access private room was a dream - so modern and with the comfiest bed ever! The staff were beyond helpful, even though we didn't speak the language. They were always friendly and kind. The sheets were heaven and the bed was rock-solid, a relief after months of shaky bunk beds. We made wonderful friends and enjoyed a noise-free night's sleep. The cutest cat kept us company. Highly recommend! Plus, the staff organized a BBQ and gave great recommendations for tours and bike rentals. The room had a spacious balcony with a jaw-dropping sea view. Restaurants and shops were nearby, and the pier was just a stone's throw away for boat trips. Everything exceeded our expectations, from the super comfy bed and pillows to the central location. The room was simple but clean and nice. The staff were the friendliest we've encountered on our trip. Gracias amigos, we'll be back! Un abrazo!

    The employees were super friendly and made me feel like part of the family. The hostel is conveniently located near the pier, perfect for maximizing sleep before diving. The diving experience was mind-blowing with thorough training and top-notch equipment. The hostel also hosts fun social events like pizza and BBQ nights, making it easy to connect with other travelers. The room was modern, clean, and had a comfy bed. a jaw-dropping stay for diving enthusiasts.

    The guest rooms at Isla Tortuga Diving & Hostel are amazing! The private bathroom with a bidet is such a luxury, and the seating area is perfect for chilling out after a long day of diving. Plus, the free WiFi and desk make it easy for me to stay connected while planning my next adventure. And let's not forget the garden view from the air-conditioned rooms - it's absolutely stunning!

    The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the balcony in the twin room. Personal preferance, though.

    Amazing hostel! Great welcome, helpful staff. AC problem quickly resolved. Lent me a laptop. Social atmosphere, great for meeting people. Pizza night and outings are fun. Good diving school, good equipment and safety standards. Nice and clean rooms. Perfect location for a good night's sleep but close to restaurants and bars. Staff is kind and helpful. Free water and fridge use.

    Nothing, all good.

    I initially booked for 3 nights but ended up extending my stay to 9 nights because it was just that good. The hostel gets booked up quickly, especially in high season, so make sure to book early. The welcome was fantastic, and the staff were extremely helpful, even lending me a laptop when I needed one. The hostel is perfect for socializing and meeting people, and they organize fun events like pizza nights and outings. The location is great, just a short walk from the beach and pier. I highly recommend this hostel!

    Can recommend this hostel.

    The room was awesome! It had a private bathroom with a bidet and a cozy seating area. I really liked that the room was air-conditioned and had free WiFi. It made my stay so comfortable! I had a lovely garden view from the air-conditioned room. It was so refreshing! The twin room was great with its cool air conditioning. I had a really relaxing time. The twin room also had a balcony where I could enjoy the view. It was perfect!

    The only thing I didn't fancy much was the desk. It wasn't really my style.

    I had a fantastic experience at Isla Tortuga Diving &. the hostel was clean, with bright rooms that had plenty of daylight. the staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate me, even offering alternative solutions when I had a last-minute change of plans. I decided to do my PADI open water beginner certification there, and I couldn't have been happier with the thorough training I received. the instructor took the time to ensure that everyone felt comfortable and confident with their diving skills. the hostel organizes social gatherings like pizza and BBQ nights, making it easy to connect with other travelers. the location, near the pier, provided the perfect atmosphere for a pleasant stay surrounded by like-minded people.

    Nothing negative to say. 😊.

    The room was basic but had aircon, wifi, and a private bathroom. The location was good, with easy access to the pier and restaurants. the staff was friendly and helpful.

    The room was not cleaned during our 6-night stay and we had to request clean towels. The bathroom had an unpleasant smell and there were bugs in the room.

    I had an incredible diving experience with Isla Tortuga! The dive school had excellent equipment and safety standards, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a great dive. The social pizza and BBQ nights were so much fun. The hostel itself had a friendly and familiar atmosphere, with helpful and welcoming employees. The location was perfect for diving, being just a 2-minute walk from the pier. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and nice sheets. I highly recommend Isla Tortuga for diving enthusiasts like me.

    Despite the amazing experience, there were a couple of drawbacks. The bathroom could have been better ventilated to avoid dampness, and it would have been nice to have a safe in the rooms.
