It was the best stay if ever experienced, the staff was so friendly and willing to help, the views and location are unmatched, and the equipment that is free to use, along side the free breakfast are awesome perks!

Perfect and quirky
The staff was super welcoming and friendly. It was comfortable and perfect location. If you’re looking for a 5 star resort probably don’t book here, but if you’re down for a new experience go for it!

This is a hostel, so if you want 4 stars go somewhere else. The property could use quite a bit of TLC, but the linens and rooms were clean. The staff were awesome and the overall vibe of the hostel was exactly what I hoped and more. The staff do fun nights and simple meals. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Stephanie, the manager, helped me with everything i needed, she’s a super sweet person.
The room was really nice, the bed was super comfortable. The attention to detail in the decor and cleanliness was evident, and it really made a difference in my overall experience.
The location was perfect, close to everything, making it easy to explore the area. I especially appreciated the beautiful view, taking breakfast in front of the sea.
I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Truly a fantastic place with wonderful service!

Very affordable. Great location. Unfortunately, despite the 10pm lights out/quiet time, there were some who would talk all night, put the lights on etc. I got no sleep and had to find another place to stay. But I loved the location. Plenty to do and see. Enjoy… if you can!

Super nice ocean view for currently about $35 a night!
Really nice staff and guests. I was freaking out the whole time and nobody said a single thing.
Also, they have a lot of activities and bbqs. Im quite concerned about the owner's business skills. J/k

Pictures are deceiving.
The Employees were friendly we didn’t expect a lot for the price on the beach but we did expect the room we rented. This was not the deluxe private room in the pictures. Bed was comfortable but the room was in the worst shape I’ve ever stayed at. Been with my wife over 30 years and never had her stay in a room this bad. But surprisingly she was ok with it. The place has an amazing vibe lots of history and it’s unique. I would just like the room we rented on the pictures. Someone needs to spend a couple of days caulking and painting. We couldn’t touch the bathroom sink or it would fall. It’s anoint an inch from the wall. The ceiling has 3 types of texture or not at all. They have breakfast as it says but you have to cook your own. They provide eggs and pancake mix. No creamer or sugar for the coffee. It is what you make of it. Like I said good vibe, friendly people but at least give me the room I saw on the Hotels.com. We checked out and someone threw up all over our car looked like top ramen dried up. Not the Hotels fault though. Just remember looks and pictures are extremely deceiving.
