    Think this was the best place I’ve ever stayed! The hostel is very social and there are events on every night to meet people. If you like having a drink you’ll meet loads of people. Curtain completely covers bed in rooms so total privacy there, beach access with lounges, amazing pools, nice staff, huge lockers to fit case/big travel bag, great location.
