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.

The dorm rooms are great if they are not crowded. My first 4 nights were great. My last night the room got packed with really messy people but that’s hostel life. The staff is all amazing and super helpful. The common area is a great place to hang out. It’s super close to everything basically. You just have to get lucky with roommates.
