Stayed here as a solo female traveller. The hotel is clean and neat. The a/c in the room was really nice. The location is super convenient. Right in the middle of town so I could walk pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. The beach is right across the street. The only thing I would say is that it can get extremely noisy at night since you’re right in the middle of the town and the popular nightlife spots. Especially on the weekends. Felt safe overall though

I’m very low key but like clean! The hotel is not huge but in my opinion it was just right. My first room had a leaking air conditioner unit behind the wall so they moved me rooms! Luckily it was the next room. The staff is amazing!! They were very helpful and bilingual which helps. The rooms were clean, the bathroom was fine and the shower was spacious. The rooms don’t have closets but they have shelves. My first room didn’t have any where to hang clothes and the second one did. Towels are clean and I was able to book tours through them. They can help with transportation from airport to hotel and back. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Liberia airport so expect to pay a good chunk. The “ Mercadito “ is literally around the corner and there are other eatery places near. You can shop, eat, drink, and walk to the beach!! I traveled by myself and I felt safe. I honestly don’t even want to share this hidden gem!! I’d keep it to myself. Camila was a gem!!! Thank you and hope to come back!♥️

The location is perfect. Right in the center of town so I could walk wherever I wanted. Beach is right across the street. That being said, its central location causes it to be very load at night due to people partying outside. Overall good stay

So I took my first solo trip and stayed in Zulu Surf Hotel for ten days. I could not be happier with my choice! Zulu is an amazing place with an incredible staff that goes above and beyond in every way! Bali and the other girls working are so awesome! They really help with anything you need! They put on little activities each night that make it very easy to meet new people from all over the world! The hotel is very well located and has an incredible cafe (sol bakery) and many food options with the best bar anywhere around! Everyone is very friendly!! The terrace is super cool as well, nice to hangout, drink coffee, plays cards, whatever you’d like to do! This hotel was above all my expectations and I would highly recommend to anyone, especially solo travelers!!
