Das Hostal befindet sich in einer sehr schönen Umgebung, direkt am Strand und gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Zimmer war sehr ruhig, man konnte gut schlafen. Das Hostel ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Das Personal war sehr nett und freundlich. Auch Frühstück konnte man täglich bestellen. Ich war mit der Unterkunft äußerst zufrieden.
