So nice!
This was a very good experience for me. The hostel has a "good vibe" not only because of the nice environment like outdoors but also the people who work there. Very personable. Cleanliness could be better, sharing a bathroom requires some attention since not everyone cleans up after themselves. I enjoyed the time by myself in the hot tub which can be rented by the hour. I would certainly return there!

Staff was great. Restaurants are close and very good. Bathrooms needed some tending to. Either leave cleaning supplies in bathrooms so we can clean after use or staff clean more often.

Great inexpensive place to stay at near the beach.
Bring your own towel + lock to Save $5. Street parking was hard to find, but staff helped me locate a spot. I checked in about 6pm so the lower twin beds were taken. It was a little rough being top bunk but for the price I'd stay again. Loud, boozy group up late talking but all quiet after 11pm. Everything was clean and accessible. They have bike rentals and hot tub by the hour.

I am a kixury hotel girl, so when I saw the hostel option which was my very first time, I said this was too good to be true but I need this solo down to earth trip. Omg wait!! The communication from staff checking in on me due to my late flight immediately made things best. The staff, the location walkable to everything and not far from the beach. Clean and the breakfast. Everything was so well thought out and it felt like a retreat. I loved every second of my stay. I highly recommend this place. I had time to reflect on alot of things and appreciate life more.
