Newly renovated so there’s a few old pics if you’re looking on Google. 3rd story private room was nice and clean, ice cold AC. No elevator, no ac in halls, stairwells or main lobby. Nice view from the shared balcony. There’s a great restaurant/bar on the dock right in front of the hotel, very convenient.

Wonderful hotel I had third floor private room with balcony, common area downstairs and the restaurant/ bar is a great hangout with nearby diving shops and airport. I left my phone in the Hotel and they shipped it as soon as they found out through the quick local airline from San Pedro to Belize city and got the phone to me while I was boarding my flight back home. Rooftop pool has beautiful views and is nice itself

I would stay here again

This was my first time staying at this hostel; although, I have visited their open-air restaurant and bar many times over the years. I stayed in a private room, with an ocean front balcony on the 3rd floor. It was very clean with basic amenities. The bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. The rooftop pool and bar area is great, but the bar is not open everyday. My only complaint would be the all night noise from a club nextdoor.

The staff wonderfull. The place was clean, we had a private bedroom and I can say that it was really confortable. We didn't feel that we were at a hostel. I tried the restaurant/bar, was really good and the staff was friendly and super nice. I will go back there for sure on my next vacations and really recommend the place.
