This was by FAR the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The woman who ran the place was so positive, agreeable, and obviously happy to be alive and lucky enough to live there. The beach was just a five minute walk away though rain forests. The house we stayed in was also incredible - two social areas, two showers and toilets, very clean. It would be a great place to go for a weekend with friends. The only reason I didn't give 100% is because the house had no key/lock, but I kind of liked that too.

The Manager there was incredible! and she was very helpful, The area was near a beach and some good walks nearby so there are activities to do. The Home-made muffins in the mornings are incredible :) The House/lodge was cozy with a wooden fire, can't go wrong. If your into your cozy quiet relaxed environments this is the place to go!
