“Lagarza Hostel strikes me as a place where the staff's attentiveness rivals the spectacular views, enhanced by amenities like a very inviting pool and thoughtful details such as readily available bug repellent. The food gets high marks and the beds are particularly comfortable; this hillside retreat also provides easy access to the main road via a short walk to a bus stop. For travelers seeking a relaxed and scenic base in La Libertad, it has real appeal.”
