All guest rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. Alouatta Playa Coyote features some units that feature sea views, and all rooms have a shared bathroom with a shower. The rooms will provide guests with a fridge. It felt so good to sleep in such a comfortable bed but in a tent - right in the middle of nature. You could gaze at the stars at night time and hear all of the beautiful nature around you. Misha and Jen are wonderful, friendly hosts who made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast (and conversation) were very much enjoyed :-) Thank you!
