It's a quiet, secure option, perfect for early or late flights. Some recent reviews mention noise from thin walls and occasional issues with cleanliness in dorms.

They allow kids so it can get very loud with the walls being so thin

Location is unbeatable for the airport. Common area is okay. My dorm was absolutely disgusting though and smelled almost unbearable, and I’m very lax about these things.

Close convenient option to airport for a night's stay if late flight, before moving onto Antigua. Staff was nice, although reception when I checked in at night did not really speak English, but Google Translate was sufficient to understand each other.
