It has been a good stay, the staff are friendly and helpful in setting up activities. On the downside i experienced some theft of some of my groceries. This is why i put average on security. Generally it is a good place to stay.

Loved the staff and the location but we wouldn't recommend it because the washrooms, carpets and sinks were not clean. The whole place had a slightly grubby feel, which is too bad. Just get rid of the smelly dirty carpets! As two women travellers, we would have preferred separate men/women toilets too. Very helpful staff.

If you are looking for a hostel near the sea, it definately has a seaside feel to it, however, it is a bus ride away from the main beaches.
