CONVENIENT!! Took the bus from the airport, unpacked on my bunk, grabbed Teddy's Bigger Burger (practically right next door), and crossed the street to the beach in time for sunset! The pancakes in the morning are amazing. The group activities are great.
Common area so comfortable and pancakes are delicious.
Beautiful sunset across the street

I had issues with checking in, they told me the 4 person room I booked and paid for wasn’t available and they wanted to put me in a 6 person instead with no refund for the difference in cost. After I complained they magically found a spot in a 4 person. They also didn’t give me a beach towel and when I asked for one I was told to use my bath towel for the beach. The floors were swept often which was great but I don’t think they had done a proper full cleaning in a while. Overall my stay was ok, I liked the general setup of the hostel but the front desk staff just isn’t courteous or welcoming. The 4 person room was very crowded because the room wasn’t set up well, with lots of wasted space in the living area and furniture packed into the bedroom to the point you can barely get to far top bunk.

Actively checking rooms, and ensuring spaces are cleaned or maintained in between guests. Having a late check in person staying at desk. Sometimes desk was unmanned and we’re left waiting to find someone.
