“Great Location and Friendly Atmosphere”
The place is close to the beach and perfect for exploring the town on foot. I didn’t join any this time, but they also arrange different tours, so it seems like a fun spot for a longer stay. Above all, the staff were super friendly and gave me so much positive energy. Even if you’re traveling solo, the nice common areas make it easy to have a fun and relaxing time.
