Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff here were so lovely to me and deliberately put me in a separate dorm as the other one only contained men. I thought this was very considerate snd thoughtful of them and the gesture was really appreciated. Plus, they give a map with the best tips for where to eat and drink and what are the best beaches, etc. I recommend!
