Perfect and quirky
The staff was super welcoming and friendly. It was comfortable and perfect location. If you’re looking for a 5 star resort probably don’t book here, but if you’re down for a new experience go for it!
The beach is amazing location is amazing building is super old and and falling apart. a dog lives on the property so be careful where you step not cool! Pee and poop the guests we're amazing. made some good friends employees we cool
It was the best stay if ever experienced, the staff was so friendly and willing to help, the views and location are unmatched, and the equipment that is free to use, along side the free breakfast are awesome perks!
This is a hostel, so if you want 4 stars go somewhere else. The property could use quite a bit of TLC, but the linens and rooms were clean. The staff were awesome and the overall vibe of the hostel was exactly what I hoped and more. The staff do fun nights and simple meals. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.
