“Such a cool hostel, amazing staff and volunteers, met some nice people. I felt right at home! It‘s not too big so you can make good connections with the other people staying there. The town is beautiful and main street super close, the beach is also wonderful and there are many more things to do in the area. I’m looking forward to come back some day 🙂”
