    Really nice location directly at the beach. Food was nice (but a bit pricey). Surfschool is included in the hostel area. The rooms are spacious, silent and AC is working.

    Amazing location right on the beach. Loved all the activities especially the morning yoga! The dorms are really well air conditioned and the hammocks on the grass outside the dorms are a great place to relax.
