It was a nice hostel with nice people. They offered beach towels, sunscreen and some more things for free. They had vending machines and beach stuff for rent. The breakfast was ok and the kitchen was oretty well equipped. The women's bathrooms were nice but sometimes the showers stayed a little dirty for a few days.
