    One of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed at and I've seen quite a few in my time. Really great location with beautiful views, great facilities. The cleaner is really nice and cleans EVERYTHING, not sure I've ever seen someone being so thorough.

    Super close to the beach. We arrived after reception was closed - I let Claudia know & she sent me all the codes I needed to access. Her responses were prompt, clear & reassuring. $
