Loved staying here, it had such great vibes and Joe (the owner) was so nice and easy to talk too. We weren’t able to surf because of the hurricane but still so much to do! Thanks for a great stay!

The host is super cool and as helpful as can be, but all in all, this hostel isn't built for a comfortable stay. Even though it wasn't promised in the listing, accommodation in here without AC is really a no-go. On top of that, there is no proper front gate - anyone could easily enter off the street - and the rooms aren't fully enclosed, so you're basically sleeping outside.
