This was easily the best hostel I have ever stayed at. I had initially planned to stay for five days and then check into a very nice hotel but by day two at PT I canceled the hotel and booked another five for the Hostel. As one of the other guests (David) and i agreed "If the Ritz Carlton and the pacific tradewinds were the same price, I would still choose the hostel experience"
The guests were friendly, the staff were friendly, the common area was perfect and the entire place was spotless. I am in the financial position to stay wherever I want but i would return to the PT in a heartbeat.
