Tought i had seen all kind of hostels but this one was from another planet. Located in the middle of the jungle, on top of a hillside providing views to the ocean and the closest bit of civilisation (one hour moto bike ride away), having a pool, and the largest hammock in the world (36m2). Done a canyon tour through the jungle climbing up a waterfall and coming back to the hostel in the pouring rain as it can only do in a rainforest. Already soaked we decided to cool down in the swimming pool while watching the lightning all around us. Don’t know how but I do remember seeing scuba diving gear in the bar. Each evening ending at the camp fire after which you could try to get a comfortable sleeping position in a hammock for the night (impossible). A little different from my city life in Amsterdam.
