Nice place.

Liked: Beach and location
Disliked: The usual 10pm or 9pm noise policy was most definitely not respected.

This place is only for...

Liked: It was beachfront and there’s a great bar attached to the hostel
Disliked: The staff of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. Made me stand at reception for over 30 minutes while deciding if they were going to give me the room or not because I’m 32 and they don’t allow people over 30. They said it’s in the terms and conditions I showed her the terms and conditions and screenshot them. Nothing says anything about age. I told her I’ve been driving for 14 hours and needed somewhere to sleep and even after paying for the room made me stand there and kind of beg for somewhere to stay. I said it’s fine if I can’t can you just let me know so I can keep driving. It was just terrible. Service backpacked all over the world and never encountered anything like that. They advised their hostel for long term fruit pickers only and that’s why the rooms were so filthy and doors left open so everyone shares rooms and comes and goes throughout the entire night.. which would’ve been fine but to make me stand there and feel like I’m begging for somewhere to stay when I was happy to just have a refund and then experience that was just unacceptable.

Great location, good value but...

Liked: Place was amazing but a little noisy.
Disliked: Hearing everything outside. Someone talking outside on the phone added to hearing everyone that walked past while not being considerate of people sleeping (after midnight until around 2am)
