Excellent Hostel with lovely friendly staff. Nice vibe. But we were charged WAY too much for our four nights. Not sure if it was Expedia or the hostel but there is no way a hostel should be charging this much a night.

Convenient if you are keeping yourself occupied with tours every day. Breakfast is ok, not paved roads on streets to main roads. Staff is knowledgeable and able to assist you in whatever you need.

Had a good stay here. Breakfast was not sufficient. Just Corn Pops and toast. We had to leave for breakfast in town. Walls were quite thin so we could hear people in the hallways. Overall though, the rooms were comfortable, the view was great and the staff really helpful and warm. Would stay here again despite the issues above.

The common area and breakfast were fine. The shower did not work almost at all and there was limited water from the sink. It was pretty noisy both inside (people) and outside (dogs). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not have a good experience at dinner there - food was not great and it took forever.

I had an excellent stay at Americana Del Sur! The rooms have only 4 beds and an ensuite bathroom, shower and lockers. The public area is great! Very comfortable coaches and tables, a outside deck and lawn furniture - and you can't beat the view from the all glass wall! The staff was AMAZING!!! All of them were so nice and remembered my name and even the smallest details of what was going on with me. Really personalized service. Very highly recommended!!

The place was a bit like a poor youth hostel and the bathrooms reeked and there was sewage like smell in the room. The bunk bed was so so .. the only blessing is that the room windows actually opened and we could get fresh air into the room. The breakfast was nice .. the lounge area had lots of young tourists.
