This was by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The atmosphere is unreal, everyone is super nice, it’s right on the beach, the pool is gorgeous, honestly it felt like staying at a private luxury resort. The staff clean literally 3x/day and are extremely accommodating. The kitchen is more than fully equipped. Beds are private and comfortable. I have zero bad things to say about this hostel, wish we could’ve spent more time there.

The place is super beautiful and comfortable. You have a very equipped kitchen with free pasta, rice, oath and eggs. The rooms are so nice and has an AC, two private bathrooms and some of them have double beds. It might be a bit pricey but not that much for what you get. Would recommend a lot.
