Very strange hostel. Fully American vibe, trump stickers. Ott pirate theme. Location was a bit annoying as had to taxi everywhere. Expensive for what it was. Good options for food inside hostel. Lots of families and older American couples. Not really a backpacker hostel

Not a hostel, like a family resort, would not recommend for a solo traveller, location is so far from town that you will end up spending everyday to get in and out of town. And general atmosphere was not good, left early…

Super cool hostel! Loved the free workout class (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and it’s fun theme. Cheap bike rental and right next to the ocean (kinda hard to swim cause the coral)
