    I loved the events that were put on, the staff were all really friendly and there was a good mix between the chill out areas and the bar/music area. Having an extra blanket at night was also great

    The hostel is right on the beach and was really huge and felt like a resort. It has a great bar area overlooking the sea. The rooms were quite decent sized and the free welcome drink was a great idea.

    Loved the location, absolutely stunning. The view from the bed made me want to spend the entire time in my cabin. Though the facilities are super fun.
