Great social vibe, everyone hangs out at the bar/restaurant so it is easy to meet other travellers. The pool is really cool and the nachos are delicious. The hostel has a great view of the sea in the distance, but you do have to walk up a hill to get there. We didn’t have hot water for one night of our stay, but overall spacious and modern private room.
