Unlike other YHA hostels , this one is twice as expensive and is full of loud and arrogant people who show no accountability to their drunk behaviour and do not respect others who are staying there. Very hard to get some sleep. Better off sleeping in a car.

The staff was amazing, the floor and the shared bathroom was clean. But they said no noise is permitted with the notes on the wall, but unfortunately the people around my room were so loud, talked outside of my front door. Even I closed all the windows I could hear. But the other than that it was nice accommodation.

Receptionist was lovely. Property was clean...just very busy, and people were smoking near the entryway, which was a turnoff. I didn’t use the common room or pool. Kitchen was petty gross but it was In the middle of meal time...it was better in the morning so they’d obviously cleaned it up overnight. No aircon in room and it was pretty warm and very humid. Surprisingly quiet.

Ce fut un endroit agréable, l'ambiance général de l'hôtel colle bien avec l'esprit \"vacances\": piscine (possibilité de faire de la plongée ), palmiers, animaux locaux, etc...
La cuisine est spacieuse et propre.
Quelques animations le soir auraient été les bienvenues.

寝るだけなら

3泊滞在。
こんなもんかとは思っていたけど、部屋にクーラーがない(効かない?)ので夜は外にいた方が涼しく汗だく。
でも共用シャワーとか全然待たないでいつも入れるのでそこは良い。
ネットは部屋だとフリーWiFiがほとんど入らず。これは場所によるかも。
電源も、ロッカー(鍵なし)もちゃんとあるし、まぁこんなもんかな。場所は海にも街の中心部にも近いし満足。
