Amazing Stay at Cool Bananas Hostel!Cool Bananas is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! It has a super friendly and family-like atmosphere. Scott puts so much heart into running this place and does everything to make his guests feel welcome.The hostel is very clean and in a beautiful little town—perfect to relax and enjoy nature.There are so many fun activities, like flying lessons with Lorenzo, surf sessions, and the exciting Banana Speed Boat ride! Every day was an adventure.I felt so comfortable here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this hostel!

Cool Banana Hostel was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The atmosphere was really familiar and welcoming. Especially Scott, the owner, was really helping and trying his best to make everyone feel comfortable. The hostel was clean and had a great outside area to chill and play games. I really recommend this hostel!!

Best hostel we‘ve been to so far. It‘s literally just the vibes. Additionally, the hostel and especially the kitchen is very clean. Everyone is very friendly and we‘ve never felt so welcome than in Cool Bananas Hostel. The flight they offer is also the most fun thing I‘ve ever done. Must do!!

Absolutely an amazing place to relax and unwind after being on the road for a bit. I couldn’t help but continue to extend my say for almost a week longer than I had originally planned. Amazing staff, clean, great facilities and events. Will certainly return.

this is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! The people that work there are wholesome, always helping out if you need something and just spreading good vibes all the time. It’s not possible to not make friends at this place, because it just attracts the most wonderful people! It is also very clean, not was I am used to in comparison to other hostels, and you can use the kitchen all the time, it’s not closed during the night.
