Location is amazing, right on the beach and 3 mini-marts close by. However, wifi was spotty, no chill out/social space other than the bar but they blast music the whole day. I dont know if its cause it was empty while i was there but the whole place had a weird vibe too. Some lights inside didnt work and had only 1 light for 3 toilets meant it all felt dark and dingy. Room/showers were clean and kitchen had what you need but only 1 locker for a 4 bed dorm. Didnt feel unsafe but wouldnt go back.

Great location and staff but a bit disappointed in the facilities. The wifi hardly ever worked, there is no chill area or common area except outside at the restaurant, where they are often playing really loud music. There was nowhere suitable to do online work so keep that in mind if you are an online worker. The kitchen was quite useful though.

Booking a hostel for the first time in many years, I must say I was anxious. I chose a private room with private bathroom, and was I impressed with what I received. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were fantastic and the location on the beach was second to none. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good rate and a great time. I will return!
