About 30km north of Ixtapa, and Zihuatanejo, on Mexico's gorgeous Pacific coast, is a small gathering of surf spots known as Troncones. We built our retreat in the heart of this area, removed from the tourist hustle and steps from the sand. Like the locale, our hostel has a relaxed, natural atmosphere, but also offers state to of to the to art amenities and full to service comfort. We are not the average hostel.
Designed to coexist with nature, the Hostel has tropical landscaping and amazing views. It's also completely private, with enclosed grounds and natural energy features that support the environment. We utilize a grey water system, and the latest technology in composting toilets. Troncones Point Hostel is the first and only hostel in Troncones and surroundings.
We can organise surf lessons and guides in advance
Location
Troncones is a relatively undeveloped, uncrowded beach village located about 20 miles (30 km) South of Zihuatanejo on the coast of the state of Guerrero.It has a population of about 600 people. Hammocks and palm trees are in most yards, chickens roam the streets and loud nightlife is limited to very few weekly events, making for quiet nights. Some local hotels and restaurants offer special events such as Movie Nights and Dance Parties, mostly during the Oct to May high season.
We are in front of a great left point break and in reach of 12 breaks within an hour. (car rental advised).

Troncones Point
Level: Advanced
Right in front of the hostel you'll find Troncones Point surf break. This is a steady left break with a bed of rocks and sea urchins. With a SW swell and decent height, it can tube if you are lucky. We would advise only advanced surfers to go and paddle out.
Waves tend to be smaller in the winter, and the best SW swells are there from May to October.
The Ranch
Level: All Levels
This is one of the best spots in the area of Troncones. It is suited for short boards or long boards and can have double overhead at the good days. Make sure you try the 'huevos rancheros' at the restaurant.
Saladita
Level: All Levels
Saladita is referred to as 'Wavemachine' or 'the Malibu of the south'. It can be surfed on a long board or short board and it's normal to be 1 minute on the board. In general it works all year round.
Troncones Beach
Level: All Levels
Along the 2 mile road in Troncones, you will find fun sandbars nestled up against various rock clusters. The best spot is at the bridge but if you ask a local he can take you to different beach breaks along the road. Takes swell year round from all directions
