My husband and I had a really wonderful stay at Hostel La Vista in San Pedro! The location was wonderfully central, only a few minute walk from the airport and water taxi. It was also in the very central part of town, so you are close to virtually everything! The only downside to that is that you get quite a bit of music noise from the local clubs nearby on the weekends. Nothing a pair of earplugs won't fix however, if you are not into the nightlife. The grounds were really beautiful and relaxing, tons of hammocks and comfortable social seating with areas that are more private. With free rum punch nightly, it also was a great way to socialize with other travelers and find the secret scoop on the area. The hotel staff was so great! Maria and David were really welcoming and even the housekeeping and grounds maintenance crew were really personable. There are even resident hostel cats to enjoy and observe--not even to mention all the cool other wildlife you'll see around the area. There were super cool lizards, birds, and city dogs watch. I highly recommend this place to anyone heading to San Pedro looking for a great value on a great central location, social access, and a charming and helpful staff. We hope to visit them again soon in the future. PS there is an awesome El Salvadorian Pupusaria on the street behind the hostel--do not miss out on the great food and drink there!
