Amazing staff! so kind and helpful, every one of them!! Feels more like a hotel than a hostel, very clean… perfect central location and amazing shuttles to the beaches.
Second time staying here and it is the absolute best! Calm area of town, the breakfast it amazing, rooms are big. We would come back anytime!!
As soon as you walk onto the property you are in awe of the view and sparkling clean infinity pool.
Beautiful home facing the beach. Great for watching sunsets.
We live here, not next door.
The same people clean your room, find you a board, tell you where to eat and book tomorrow's shuttle for you.
