Nice and clean dorm with very comfortable beds, two bathrooms, lockers and a fridge. Outside is a hammock that makes your stay even more comfortable:)

Just across the street is a bar and terrace, where you can watch sunset while drinking delicious pinacolada.

Very good location,  5 min from the beach and a supermarket.

100% recommended

I had reserved a dorm but when I arrived it was full so the gave me a cabin. The location is very convenient. It only takes one minute to walk to a nice supermarket. After staying in various places on Providencia I ended up liking the location of Almond Blue the most. Being right on the ocean is great. There are plenty of open spaces to relax in a hammock or chair and admire the beautiful blue water. Walking to south east bay only takes about 15 minutes and the walk boasts some nice vistas of the sea from higher vantage points. The restaurant was one of the best on the island and they always had a cold beer when I wanted. The staff were very positive and kind. I’ll stay here on my next trip. 

I'll stay here again on my next trip! 

I stayed in the dorm, and the building is very nice and clean. Perfect location on the island and terrace with amazing view. Staff nice but not many services for the dorm. No kitchen and breakfast not included. I had to pay 4000pesos just for a small cup of hot water. Apart the big problem of no having even hot water for my own breakfast, all the rest was perfect.

Hostel in a hotel

Well I would start that it's not a hostel. It's one of the huts from Cabanas Aguas Dulces where there are 5 beds. Which is good and bad. It's a pretty nice spot and the hut is nice with a nice patio but... There is no kitchen (which is normal) but also no glasses, spoons, nothing... There is no person working for the hostel. When you need sth you have to go to the reception of the whole resort and they kind of treat you like a poor, worse tourist which is not that nice. The isolation of the hut is not really good so AC is not really helping that much and 2 fans that are there are great but one has a tendency of disappearing. And you have one key and the door closes behind you. It should be possible to agree among 6 people to always bring it to the reception but it unfortunately Doesnt work and then the poor tourist needs to ask for emergency key... 

Many things to improve

This hostel is attached to a hotel. It's just one room with 3 single beds and a double on a mezzanine bit.

There was no communal area so you cannot just hang out, not great if it's the rainy season. There are also no basic cooking facilities, which is a bit silly as the people that stay in a hostel tend to be on a budget and may want to make their own food, especially as eating out on the island is so expensive. We couldn't even boil water for tea/coffee and when I asked if I could use their boiled water at breakfast they tried to charge an extortionate amount. 

We felt that they didn't look after the hostel clients as the hotel clients are more important. 

There are plenty of other slightly more expensive posadas on the island but more friendly with good kitchens so would would save your money that way. As soon as we moved we felt a lot happier. 

We wouldn't recommend blue almond, but if you do need to stay there it is clean and there are 2 bathrooms for 5 people which are the good points.

Mr Macs looked better when we went to see it and was on the sea front.
