The Island Hotel

Its a wonderful location, as properly as the bar/restaurant area is good for chilling out in, showing movies some evenings. We got a 1hr free massage each when we checked in.

Good location, little bit of a walk to the beach but the pool makes up for it. Rooftop bar is great, as is happy hour. Breakfasts are great too.

Of all of the hostels I&'ve been to, this location realizes the balance of a hostel and a modern day boutique hotel (without the cost). The common areas a nicely thought out, spacious and conducive to meeting people. The rooms are properly appointed and comfortable. The pool is superb for cooling down. The location is located in noiseless backstreets easily reachable from the main street (tho it takes a little orientation). Some of the reviews mention that the alley leading up to this location is long and dark - I did not discover that to be the case. Safety guards from adjacent villas were sitting outside their places through the night so the alleys were never empty nor did they ever feel unsafe. Staff was warm and friendly and hospitable.

The employees were so friendly. They really tied to help exactly where they could and often smiled. The facilities were great with the cleanliness of the dorm room, the toilets, the pool and surroundings. The top deck lookout for sunsets and rooftop bar were great relax out areas.

Pleasantly surprised at its general vibe and look. Everything feels almost like you&'re staying at a friend&'s place. The pool is pretty and also the general hangout areas are cozy and relaxing. Much a lot more than I expected for a hostel; the beds are clean and made up by invisible cleaning individuals everyday. the free breakfast inside the morning was adequate for me, but for those of you who need a lot more than 2 pieces of toast, fruits and a pot of tea, there&'s other delicious stuff on the menu. Towels are handed out like it&'s nothing; some hostels go crazy on their towels. We stayed inside the dorm; each bed has it&'s own locker light and space. Ceilings are high so it&'s not cramped; there are curtain dividers so you get a bit of privacy. Tours and transport arranged at the reception are extremely trusted and they don&'t rip you off. Wireless is free, although a bit choppy. The Island also has activity nights like Barbeque mondays and movie night wednesdays. Excellent location to meet people, but also a excellent location to just hole up and relax on your own. It&'s a extremely do what you want place. Beautiful too.
