An amazing place by the beach with a great vibe! The staff are incredibly nice, and Joy/Wang, in particular, stands out as a special member of the team. Her warmth and energy in serving guests made the experience unforgettable.

Location wise it is an excellent place, care takers were good enough to help in all the circumstances. Food was good but overpriced.

The location was a DREAM! Only 10 seconds away from the beach. The beach was very beautyful and there were only a few other people. Very peaceful and relaxing. The hostelstaff was amazing and very helpful. They are so kind! The hostel is very comfy and has a cool atmosphere. Also, the beds are very comfortable. We would definitly recommend it.
