Such great value for money, more like a 3 star hotel than a hostel. Great location near beach and restaurants. Drinks well priced and pool fantastic

The pool and breakfast (included) are incredible. The restaurant overall was very good and itโ€™s a beautiful property- looks exactly like the photos. The staff are so friendly and helpful.
I booked a private room and for the price per night, I did expect a bit more. The room layout was a bit odd, with the bed wedged against the wall (fine for one person but not great for two) and there is only one very small mirror above the sink, the main bedroom door is made of glass, with a curtain you can pull across it - but never felt totally private as a result. The bed was quite hard.

The pool area is really nice and the location is great as well.
The first day we checked in we had dirty sheets, i asked for new ones and we got them asap. after they cleaned our room again, they gave us dirty sheets again. The shower looked like it was never properly cleaned and taken care of. The Tap was not working properly. The bathroom in general was just very run down. During our stay was the entry under construction and no one informed us about it. The breakfast does absolutely not look like on the pictures & was not very enjoyable.
