Did the job
Parking was cash only but luckily had that on us but finding the parking was difficult due to construction. Then the small hike to the hostel from the temporary parking was a bit much with bags and over a fence. Service was nice, beds were not very comfortable

Comfy Stay
We had a great stay at the hostel. Our room was spacious and clean and we had our own toilet. The host was nice and accommodating. The hostel was really close to the beach and the view from the place was scenic. We enjoyed our stay and defo recommend it to others.👍

This location is AMAZING — some of the most gorgeous beach scenery you’ll ever see. The staff are lovely and welcoming, and the lounge and kitchen are really warm and inviting.
