Very nice experience! Loved the projects in Flutterby! All environmental concern! Amazing people you can meet, a very nice atmosfere! Super clean and beautifully decorated! Amazing spot! Just think the cabanas price is a little too much for what it is! Defenitely recomend it!

Lush garden and lots of spaces to just hang out - the staff are all super friendly and helpful also. Great place to meet all kinds of people. Kitchen large and well stocked.... More

Okay, we all know what a hostel is. The word conjures images of bunk beds and sleeping bags, small dark rooms, strangers looking over maps and wondering off on their own. Hostels are great places to stay on a shoestring budget, especially if you want to meet some new people. A lot of the times the hostel workers are busy,... More

Such an amazing place. Everything looks like it came out of a Robinson Crusoe tale. The cabinas are beautiful, hand crafted and built with love. Totally safe given the wall enclosure, close to a "private beach" where there is seldom anyone else nearby and operated by an amazing group of young people from all over. The energy was so welcoming... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. The first night we were in a dorm, which was okay, but decided to switch to one of the FH cabins. Which I would recommend. They're small, but cozy. The kitchen gets pretty busy during breakfast/dinner time. We found it better to cook at odd times so... More

We stayed here in a tent so we would have a place to cook and safely leave our things. It served those purposes wonderfully. It is definitely an outdoor environment with few luxuries, but a fun ambiance. The staff have great advice about things to do in the area.

The Place is unique, that is certain! I slept in a treehouse, they called 'the penthouse', and it was a remarkable experience to wake up with the birds singing right next to your window. Other positives are the well equipted kitchen, the friendly staff (almost all of them are so called volunteers, that work there in return for food and... More
