While the atmosphere and the host was very nice and social, I didn’t like the dorms. The toilets only flush like 10% of the time and the top bunk beds are so close to the ceiling fans that a guy hit head on a ceiling fan in his bed and had to go to the hospital and get stitches. The top beds should not be in use with fans so close.

The host was nice, but other than that one guy good seriously injured just being on a top bunk by a fan. Felt like this could happen to everyone everyday. Host forgot to arrange our whale watching tour, felt a bit like a mess.

The host was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately don't have much else to praise, the bed was very uncomfortable and no AC in rooms. We were hoping for social vibes but there wasnt much to facilitate this, so we ended up leaving early.
