“Cutting trees, kicking cans, running a circular saw all before 8 am”
Noisy no real consideration for sleeping guests in the morning

Nice hostel, in a beautiful garden in Sandy Bay, 2 mins walk off the main street, supermarket at the corner, colectivos / taxis on the main road. Beautiful little pool in the back. Clean kitchen. The room is a converted cargo container, spacious inside, clean. AC available (for an extra?), but a ceiling fan was enough. Friendly staff and pets

The location was good being away from the party zone. The kitchen was handy and allowed you to do most things. Plenty of collectivos on the main road 2 mins away. Food options within walking distance and some beach too. Plenty of outside space.

So glad I chose to stay here. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Such a relaxing vibe, just far enough away from the busy tourist area. Pool area and outdoor spaces are beautiful and well kept. Staff was very helpful in finding nearby activities and arranging outings. Will definitely return. One of my favorite hostels.

“A warm, friendly, comfortable place that helps you stick to your budget!”
The location is excellent, next to a grocery store, gym, a bar/restaurant (Pirates Den), close to beaches and a quick 5 minute drive by collectivo or taxi to West End. The owner (Mel) and all the staff are wonderful. It has a nice pool and on-site restaurant, and also a communal kitchen.

“Clean, well priced and friendly vibe”
I only stayed here for one night, but thought it was excellent. I stayed in a very reasonably priced private room, which was basic but super clean. Breakfast is offered on site if you would like it, and there are lots of places to hang out around the hostel. There was a great vibe with the guests when I was there, mostly people on their own and a real mix of nationalities and ages. They had decided to go into west end of a quiz night and I joined them which was fun.

Amazing staff, super friendly and helpful! Having a pool was also nice to cool down on hot days. Location is a 10 minute 1-2$ taxi / collectivo ride away from West End.

The place had a nice homey feel. Nice pool and cafe. Nice communal kitchen. Each bed had a fan. Dale was especially hospitalble and made you feel welcome, completely fluent in English and knows the island well.

“The level of service and assistance would bring me back to do a snorkel adventure.”
The property was a lot more than it looks and very well kept. Mel and Belkis provided excellent service, assisted with transport recommends and there was a store and gym 5 minutes up the street. A perfect place to rest after a long flight.

“Nice place to stay and relax but the location does not warrant the detour”
The son of the owner was a real gem, ran out and got us some fresh coconuts when we were feeling sick. Fresh and nice rooms and quite cozy. Also enjoyed the pool!
