Hotel & Youth Hostal Mayflower

Very nice -- made for a trip of a lifetime
The comments about Minnie seem to be a bit unfounded. She was very informative and helpful with solving any problems. I had trouble getting money from ATM and she let me stay without paying the first night. She was a bit "funny" about some things, but easily persuaded with a kind word or two. The kitchen was a great meeting place, and the truly international scope of the guests proved for fascinating conversations -- great and probably life-long friends were made by myself and many others. The Hostel is close to everything in town -- just up the hill, and very close to Playa Principal. It felt like home to me -- the great vibe and closeness of the guests made this a place I would recommend to anyone.

The owner is not that nice
I didn't have a great experience with the lady that owns this Hostel. Usually, I can along very well with people but she was (in my opinion) very "egoiste" and "manipulative." I was there with two friends in january 2007. we were all thirty-one years old.

The party hostel
We stayed three nights and had an awesome time. Its very clean, spacious with good facilities (kitchen, fridge, rooftop floor). It's perfect to do the "boteillon" before going out -- we did drinking games every night with a group up to fifteen people. Maybe a bit too expensive for Puerto and also the staff (especially the owner) wasn't friendly enough. But in total still the best place you can stay in town!

I have been to sixty-fivecountries, possibly one hundred-plus hostels! This hostel is in the top five of all hostels I have visited. One month in '04 and two months in '05. I will try to get there again in late '06. It's better than any "tropical resort" (including Asia, Australia, Tahiti, Hawaii, Cabo, Baja, Mexico, Central America, Europe, Eastern Europe, USA). The "personality" and "ratings" of the hostel is fantastic. The recreation and water sports are unlimited. It's a town you will want to move to because it's cheap, mellow, low stress, happy go lucky, offers everything of home, with the benefits of North America!

I have been to the hostel in February 2006, so about three months ago. I stayed in a double room with a friend. It was very cheap and clean and close to the main, almost at the main road and at the same time quiet. We even had a own bathroom and really large and comfortable beds for 10€ per person and night. They were a whole bunch of people there, everybody was nice and there were a lot of parties going on there. For me the best thing was the free internet.
