The staff wonderfull. The place was clean, we had a private bedroom and I can say that it was really confortable. We didn't feel that we were at a hostel. I tried the restaurant/bar, was really good and the staff was friendly and super nice. I will go back there for sure on my next vacations and really recommend the place.

Excellent hostel has everything I needed. Thank you to all staff for making this place rock
Ashlyn, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

First of all, this property is for ages 14 and up. I did not realize when biking and came with my 13 year old daughter. They let us stay, but made it clear that this was an Expedia error and not the norm. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay. Free paperboard to borrow, a beautiful pool and a good restaurant next door. The restaurant was a little pricey for our hostel budget, but convenient the first day when we arrived starving. The run was very clean with around AC and a safe. The kitchen was convenient for keeping food costs down, and despite the hostels reputation, it want too rowdy while we were there.

Anna, 4-night trip

Loved that the property was close to the towns centre, where just about all the bars/restaurants were located. I was safely able to walk anywhere when I didn’t feel like driving
Henry, 3-night trip

Nice hostel with a sports bar/ restaurant on the first floor. Food prices were reasonable for the area.
matt, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very good people, place, and good people staying there. Only complaint was it was at capacity so I couldn't book longer!
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic place to stay. Best hostel I’ve ever been to.
CorrieJean, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved the room with AC and cubicle beds shelve and private light. Clean toilets and spacious showers. Very quiet despite the often noise bar. Close to activity shops like; snorkelling, diving, kite surfing, etc. Wish some guests would respect the hospitality of those charming locals.
Beat, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I would stay again even though our stay wasn't perfect. The staff of the hostel were incredible. Great recommendations, very personable. The AC was wonderfully responsive. The beds were comfortable. The balcony was very pleasant. The water available for refilling our water bottles was an absolute delight to have access to at all hours. We didn't know that there would be some construction going on while we were there to fix some stairs - hearing a drill at 7:30am wasn't the most pleasant, nor was smelling the wood stain in the early morning hours. I do wish the bathroom walls were scrubbed down a little better. Impressively though, there wasn't any sand on the floors of our room upon arrival. Being on the waterfront, the smell of the sargassum was very strong and did get inside. The sargassum has absolutely nothing to do with this property specifically though, it's just something to note if you're traveling to this area.
Leah, 3-night trip
