great social place to chill out for a few days. slightly outside of the busy areas of surf City but a 10 minute Uber or chicken bus gets you into the main areas. there is also a more rocky beach, some restaurants and a gas station within walking. can be hot in the daytime but between the pool and hammocks it's okay. wish the AC in the room was stronger but overall nice facilities and quite clean.

The goated hostel with the chillest atmosphere and owner. It feels there like home, even though you are 10k km away. Thanks Ryan and his dream team!
