Amazing! Great vibes, great music, great people! The only thing that was a little bit of a pain in the butt was you have to buy tickets for drinks first and then go to the bar but it all worked out and was a good find on a random trip when some festivals were canceled! Yay speakeasy vibes!!!

Every single day the staff is energetic ++ they are very helpful, they can show you where to go if you have no idea. The rooms are super clean, they have air conditioning and nice sheets, there are also thick curtains in every bed to give you privacy. They have a super nice rooftop to chill out and drink. Good internet connection if you work remotely like me. And a hammock ! Which is essential to me. :-) they also have a good kitchen if you like cooking. They pay attention to details and are very open to feedback. Moreover, you can find everything else in a 5 min walk radio. good when it comes to #BPM2017

I was searching for a different bar and ended up at this rooftop hostel bar. The drinks were very refreshing and excellent service. Atmosphere is quite chill on a Wednesday evening.

Didn't stay here. Just visiting the bar. Amazing layout upstairs, many small lounge areas. It has a club vibe but not so stingy. Music was loud but not deafening. There's bar games and lots of people to talk to. This type of roof is the best part about playa, and this may be the best roof there is in all PDC

Izsla was great! They had an amazing vibe. You have to climb a few stairs but it gives you a great view at the rooftop patio. All the staff was VV amazing. They have A/C rooms and a pool in the roof. 10/10 would visit again!

Amaising hostel, in very beautiful area, the roof is my favorite part, it is just wonderful to spend good time day and night with the swimming pool and the activities like movie projector baby foot, pic pong and very nice music. There is walmart huge supermarket just 5 min walking.The staff is very very friendly and very nice all of them day or night, very good security in this hostel, the beds are very comfortable and the air conditioner all the day but please don't abuse and put it on 16°c this is not Alaska. I like the view from the roof and I like the closeness of the hostel to the beach. I really recommend this place for every one who wants to spend great time. Adam. Auberge magnifique, dans un très beau quartier, le toit est ma partie préférée, c’est merveilleux de passer du bon temps jour et nuit avec la piscine et les activités comme projecteur de film baby foot, pic pong et très bonne musique. Il y a Walmart immense supermarché à seulement 5 min à pied.Le personnel est très très sympathique et très gentil le jour ou la nuit, très bonne sécurité dans cette auberge, les lits sont très confortables et le climatiseur toute la journée mais s'il vous plaît ne pas abuser et le mettre sur 16 °c t'es pas à Alaska. J'aime la vue depuis le toit et la proximité de l'auberge à la plage. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit à tous ceux qui veulent passer du bon temps. Adam.
