Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    My room was big and minimalistic with a great bed. The location is perfect and it is real good value for money! It is more a surfer vibe kind of hostel which I really enjoyed. Breakfast was nice with the fantastic view on the terrace

    Great location, on the town square (which is quiet in the evenings, no need to worry about noise) and close to all the restaurants and the beach. Fantastic view from the roof terrace on both the town and the beach, with hammocks to relax in,

    The sea view swimming pool was very clean and nice to swim in. The Building is very modern and clean. The Garden is very beautiful. However, the biggest asset of the hotel is the extremly friendly staff. The Breakfast is Served on the ocean front Restaurant and is delicious. You can snorkel, scuba dive and fish Right in Front of the Hotel. The best white Sand and coconut tree Beach on the whole Island is in walking distance. The People in the nearby village are very friendly. It is a very Safe Place.

    The location and the staff were excellent! Irene treats you like family and helps you out with all your needs. I felt so comfortable and never had to worry about a thing – from taxis, to tips on what to do, and where to eat. I was traveling solo and felt very safe and welcome. The location is also perfect walking distance to the beach and several restaurants.

    Great location and big and cozy common areas. Beds were comfortable. The dining hall is light and beautiful. Breakfast was also good (banana, papaya, eggs, bread, margarine, jelly and coffee). The fans were provided for the rooms. I liked the vivid colours and nice details of the rooms. Overall, very laid back vibes in the hostel.
