Casa Oro

Casa Oro was the hip place to be in town. This was the hostel that the guide books recommended going. They were very orderly and structured and the place was relatively clean and nice. We stayed in the upstairs dorms for $1 more and had the most incredible breeze I have ever experienced!!

It is definitely the place to go if you are wanting to meet a ton of people and tourists. Otherwise... it wasn't all that great! We had some great roommates.. and some other not so great... Other people had some things stolen.. etc. Needless to say we moved the next day.

Some of the people I was traveling with were in a different dorm and were surrounded by Australian boys who would sit and blurt out weird noises.. the entire night. As annoying as it was... we were unable to stop talking about it the next day and even for the majority of the time we remained traveling together. They ended up being quite legendary!

Casa Oro did seem to have a good location and was relatively inexpensive... although there was definitely cheaper accommodations around town.
