EL TUMBO

We enjoyed staying here, it was conveniently located between Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo, with a good number of restaurants only a couple minutes walk away. We had an air-conditioned room, which honestly made our stay. The bathrooms could do with some updating though, especially the showers, pretty simple with flimsy doors. The kitchen was also tiny, only room for one person to cook at a time.

Staff is lovely and helpful, location is good, it has what you need for a comfortable and cheap stay in el gigante! You get what you pay for, so it is a simple place but has everything you’d need!

Would have been nice to have lockers in the dorms. There are lockers in the reception, but it is closed during the evening/ night!

the staff was very friendly and helpful.

it would be nice to have a mosquito net over the bed so you can leave open de door of the room. A quick sweep through the rooms once a day would be great too.

Very friendly staff, nice hangout area, the kitchen was okay, nice café downstairs and good work/study area. One night a random drunk guy walked in the area and the staff took it very seriously. Even though we barely noticed it they informed us and made sure that they locked the gate properly after that. Location was perfect for studying at the spanish school at the beach.

It was a bit dirty, although one of the volunteers cleaned the whole kitchen after a couple of days which was nice. The bathrooms were also mostly dirty. AC was supercold even at 30°C, too bad that we had to pay extra for it but it didn’t really work since we had to turn it on and off.

Cool hang out space and close to beach

Run mainly by volunteers who don't keep the place clean. Kitchen space not suitable for the amount of people. Rooms right next to hangout area.
