    The well is a paradise, perfectly located, It is a place where every detail is studied and considered. The owners are wonderful, even though I stayed in the low season so never met you in person, they always answered the phone at all times and even after I left they continued to answer to my questions. I recommend the place hands down! The pink house next door does incredible breakfast, make sure to have a coffee there!

    Nothing 😊

    We stayed in the deluxe room with an outdoor shower—it was clean, comfortable, and smelled lovely. Traveling in the off-season, we were the only guests, which made it feel like our own private villa. The morning yoga just a few steps away was a real highlight. A peaceful and relaxing stay overall!

    Had an amazing stay at The Well Hostel! We booked a private room (not a dorm) and it was perfect. The location is fantastic—close to everything yet peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The overall vibe is great, making it a place I'd love to visit again. A special highlight is the outdoor bathroom, which was a unique and excellent touch to the experience!

    Was missing somewhere to put shower gel/shampoo etc when showering

    Really enjoyed my stay at The Well. The dorm was clean and had everything you need, a lot of toilets and showers so never queue. Loved the rooftop yoga and swimming pool, definitely the highlight!! Good location a short walk from main road and a lot of restaurants. Have already recommended to others.

    If you stay in the top beds in the dorms the stairs are a bit challenging. If you’re looking for a social area where you can easily socialize with everyone around actually there’s none. There’s a big balcony with shares but really convidativo for socializing. In the end it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a more quiete, relaxed experience and not so much if you also want to combine a relax environment with a bit of socializing.

    The place itself is just incredible. The pool and environment still near the main road and the beach but just in a more relaxed, chilled environment.

    One of the best hostels I every stayed in. Mixed dorms are usually full of girls :-) very few lucky men haha No seriously the beds are so comfortable and everything is really clean. And even though there aren’t really social activities people connect because it’s quite small and super nice to also hang out during the day.

    Small nit but the shared drying racks was a bit rough, way better than the average hostel but would be nice to have more storage or hooks/hangers to organize belongings.

    Located away from the main road but close enough to access everything in town. Great pool and lounge furniture. Really great price for facilities.
