Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, clean and secure. The location is great , a little further along the esplanade than I originaly thought, but stil only takes 10 minutes to walk to the heart of everything. I didn't join in any activities because I had my own plans, so can't really comment on the fun side, but people seemed happy and there is a great pool. so all in all an excellent choice.

As described, clean and very friendly staff. Not quite as close to the city centre as I thought - it's about a 10 min walk.

Had a fantastic stay at the Caravella. The location was good,just walking distance to the main bars and shops and the free meal at the Woolshed was a bonus! The staff at the hostel were lovely and really helpful. Definately recommended. Would stay there again.

Free evening meal at a bar in town was good. Would stay here again, but can get noisy so bring your ear plugs!

Very clean, staff are great - especially Gloria. Fairly quiet and slow when we were there - possibly because it was off season. Sparse rooms and could use lockable lockers in even in the private rooms. Nice location.
