Basic rooms but clean with lots of bathrooms and toilets. Restaurant and bar on site. Good location for diving activities and the beach but not close to clubs or social areas

Great place with great vibes! Based on the less good reviews I read on this place I have to say that they were written from inexperienced backpackers/ hostel stayers. This is one of the good places, I swear. Also their fried chicken sandwich is great :)
