Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
This property had its pros and its cons. Pros ✨Friendly, welcoming staff and always happy to see you ✨Location to the surf, shops, bars and restaurants, undeniably spot on, 5 starts for that alone. ✨Spacious rooms with air con ✨Reasonable price Cons 🫠Restaurant, bar and coffee not operating as I think it is now low season and everyone is getting ready to shut down for the end of the season so we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the advertised amenities 🫠It’s a hostel pulling in young travellers (not hate, they had a great time) wanting to party until the early hours while we were there to surf so getting up for a 5am felt rough with only a few hours of sleep. Location and staff made it a good stay but couldn’t been better of the advertised amenities were operating!
