Great value for the money! I'm too old for this place and it's bit noisy. The walls aren't insulated. Great Staff. I highly recommend this to those under age 30 !
Lots of rules for a backpackers. No smoking areas and had to go out the front or back which was no trouble but didnt feel too safe after dark outside gates by myself.. very nice staff and great grounds.. nice swim up pool bar.

They overbooked; we did not get the rooms we reserved; it was a horrible experience to spend a night with 6 people in the same room - totally ruined our vacation spirit, not mentioning if they would refund some of the cost.
