Really comfortable in this hostel. Quiet at night time and dorm beds are really comfy (first time i've had a duvet and two pillows in central america...). Food was good and reasonably priced, staff friendly and lots of space to chill.

More of a social / party vibe. You can hear the music blaring all night even from the dorms, along with the cars speeding by at night. The grounds are fine, the rooms and bathroom are very old, and have a dirty feeling to them, the staff were very pleasant, but not my cup of tea.

Pros: great warm shower in the 8 bed dorm, nice chill out area by the pool, nice restaurant. Cons: could do with more sunbeds, not very social. Top bunk beds have no where to put stuff so stuff would fall down in the night. Also doesn’t have air con but not needed.
