Not for everyone.

Liked:The cleanliness, location and the hostels facilities. The multilingual staff, public transport connections and the weather.

Disliked:Other people's selfishness and self importance! This is a hostel not a hotel. You may be sharing with four strangers. You share toilet and shower facilities. You're expected to clean up after yourself and keep late night noise to a minimum. Do you have servants? Do Mommy and Daddy take care of all your messes? If the answer is yes to either of the above questions, this is just not for you. Book a hotel where all your idiosyncrasies will be taken care of and you'll be able to demand what you want when you want it.

Lovely hostel

Liked:The location is phenomenal. You are right on the quiet side of the ocean (you can swim on this side if you want to) The hostel outside deck literally has steps to this side of the beach. The beach where most people go to swim and hang out is just 5minutes away. The kitchen is a nice touch. Easy to prepare food in (they don't offer an inclusive breakfast) I didn't interact with staff a lot, but when I did it was pleasant. They have 3 showers and 2 bathrooms, which I found extremely convenient. The dorm I stayed in was great, the beds have curtains. I would stay here again in a heartbeat

Disliked:The shower is timed and automatically turns off. Not the end of the world though because you can lean against it to keep it on.

Liked:Really nice & comfortable. Appears to be a converted house that backs onto the water with a great view. Has all the small things most hostels miss like hooks in the bathroom, lockers, towels, good WiFi etc

Disliked:More Family orientated, showers on push button timer
