There was a smell of mold in the dorm that was hard to get rid of. We had a fan running 24/7 pointing out of the room and it helpt a little. Also quite hot in the night due to the lack of AC

Security was almost zero. One flimsy lock box for the entire bunk room. Random locals were allowed to take empty bunks late at night. Anyone can get inside the building. Music was incredibly loud some nights. Mostly clean inside except the fridge was gross. Outside had broken glass and trash everywhere (as is the way with everywhere in Jamaica). No good chill spot. No towels. If they had laundry I don't know where it was. No hand laundry or clothes line. Beer went missing from the fridge.

Everything was great until it was not. I was about to give a five star rating but last night there was some random person who stepped into our doem at mid night, grouped a Canadian woman, went through her belongings. The place felt very unsafe, the security to the hostel and surveillance could be much stricter consdiering the place is right on the beach.
