Ingrid Sharp

09 December 2009 Ingrid would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the location and the staff. Our room was right next to the bar area, where breakfast is served so was extremely noisy pretty much all the time as the windows had to be kept open to get air in. This also caused a problem with mosquitoes. There is no tv room, or area for chilling out which is a shame for when it is raining. There is a tv at the bar, but we were not allowed to watch it as the barman wanted to listen to music.

Disliked: Ingrid left no negative feedback.

Liked: Fab location minutes from the beach and in really safe part of town. Really clean and great staff. only bad thing is that tends to be an older crowd and pretty quiet and not much going on at the hostel at night but the hostel do arrange nights out and they were so much fun. Loved the rooms inside the main house.
