We loved our stay so much at SOLID. It’s the end of slow season so when we arrived it was very quiet and honestly we were sceptical of the place. However once we settled in this was a surfers paradise. I can’t explain how well we were looked after. We got the all inclusive package, so we had breakfast and dinners made- Martha cooked amazing local dishes and Jesnar made sure we had everything we needed. We had “happy hour” drinks from 5-7 where he made us the best Margaritas and had our choice of drinks. I think usually the bar is actually open with a bartender and is maybe more lively but this suited us just great, and we had another couple with us to eat and drink with.
The place got busier over the week with it being quite full by the end of the week. I would say this is not a party hostel at all, people are here to surf and relax and we made some great friends (some that come back there continuously). Daily routine is sunrise surf, breakfast, hammock chill all day, sunset surf, dinner with drinks, early bed time- repeat. If you do feel like more party, you can head to Free Spirit Hostel down the beach where they are welcoming and have more of a party vibe going on. The place is LITERALLY located on the beach break, walk out with your board and surf (the BEST), plus UNREAL sunsets!!!
The quiver of boards to choose from the surf rack was great and Junior + Jacob were both awesome surf instructors. We didn’t do any of the other activities that we were hoping to do (sand volcano tour, fishing, boating to other surf spots) but honestly we were totally happy with our beach/surf week. We were confused as we thought those were included with our all inclusive package but it was actually paid extra activities and most people were on a budget so we couldn’t split costs with them. I think the website could use some improving to avoid this confusion and lay out specifically what is Included. If you are an experienced surfer I don’t think you’d need the all inclusive package, (but the meals and drinks are definitely awesome to have + surf board, so I think we’d do it it again).
We also stayed In an AC private room which was very large. Keep in mind it’s a third world country, basic and some what clean.
Also, I’m sure the place gets much more lively during high season and I know things are slowly getting more in routine here as they recover from COVID.
This place is HEAVEN if your goal is to surf your brains out, relax, and meet fellow like minded travellers. It is not a “luxury” hotel, or a party hostel. It was paradise for us though :)
We would absolutely come back here and we are very happy we stayed here!!! Miss the place and everyone already!!! - via
