The atmosphere and the location are amazing, the hostel constantly posts a lot of useful information about stuff to do, places to visit etc. The place is suitable for people who are social but chill, definitely not a party place but 100% a good place to come back to after a beach party and have a good night's sleep.

It was super cool having a rooftop bar as part of the hostel. You don’t have to buy anything, you can just hang out and watch the sea. Once I was there in the evening and people were singing together. They just invited me to sit with them. The rooms were pretty clean and fancy with curtains for the beds. One thing that I really appreciated was the staff being nice all the time and also letting me in before check-in time. They just said that they switched things up a little and that I could get in 4 hour’s early.

I extended my stay multiple times here because I didn't want to leave. The location is quiet and serene. Crickets at night, birds in the morning. The glass window/wall at the bed is amazing and you wake up surrounded by nature (but with a/c and no mosquitoes in your bed). Shower gets hot, but you rarely want the hot water. Hammock in the trees with string lights, looking up at the stars with crickets chirping is exactly the quiet space I wanted to get some work and climbing in. Breakfast and smoothies were delicious, bathrooms are super clean, cafe and pool table in the lobby area, the indoor gym is great. ***Tony, the climbing guide, is so wonderful. So friendly, very knowledgeable about actually teaching you how to climb and improving your skills whether you're brand new or have done some climbing in the past. I cannot recommend this place enough, and absolutely recommend booking a guided climbing trip!

Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
