It is well located on the water with a nice dock to hangout on

J, United States of America

The vibe here is not party but relax which I was looking for! Island is beautiful and offers lots of coral reefs to explore!

Tyler, United States of America

This place is amazing and a great spot for backpackers looking to safe some money but at the same time enjoy the island experience. The facilities are spartan but keep in mind this is an island. If your looking for luxury this place is not for you. The kitchen serves amazing food and is open from 8am to 8pm. Lots to do and see on this amazing small island! I would highly recommend any backpacker/adventurer to check it out!

Tyler, United States of America

This place was truly relaxing. The setup was perfect for simplified living with enough activities to stave off boredom for those who enjoy being very active. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating; you would be more than happy to eat all of your meals on the island from their kitchen.

Chase, United States of America

The location is amazing. In fact, people come here from other places to watch the sunset over the water. Also, the afternoon breeze didn't get strong on this end of the island. In other areas it picked up by 2-4pm and was very strong, making the water choppy. You can swim and snorkel just off the dock but you need to be careful about going out too far because of boat traffic. It's best to snorkel by boat. I thought the food was really good here compared to other places (not cheap, but not many places on the island are)

Julien, Colombia

Food was excellent & owners very friendly & helpful.

Gavin, United Kingdom

Wonderful location, with snorkeling right at the property. Clean and friendly staff.

All of the staff was accommodating and welcoming. Beautiful spot that is quiet and relaxing, a good spot for travelers looking for a low key place to stay.

Beds with mosquito nets, showers and toilets. The food was delicious. Staff was friendly. The environment was very chill. Bora Bora beach club is next door if you prefer a different vibe.

On the photos it looks like there is a small beach and a good place to swim. In reality there is not. If you want a proper beach you need to walk to the main beach which is 30-40 min walk (and poorly indicated). They would do better with real eco toilettes rather fill water tanks with water from the mainland. The beds were OK but not super comfortable. Also the activities were disappointing...
The different systems they have with sea view are really nice and great way to relax and read a book. Breakfast was basic but fine. Staff is friendly and non intruding.

When the battery that powered the electricity died (Around 2-4 am) there would be a super loud beeping noise that wouldn't go off until we disconnected the battery. I would skip the snorkel trip that they offer. Woke up to go on the 8 am tour. We had a 20-minute walk to get to the boat then we had to wait another 40 minutes for the boat to come. We were told it was going to be 3 different spots that we would be snorkeling at but it ended up only being 2 spots. The first spot was super nice with a bunch of coral and fish. We stayed there for about 25-30 minutes. The next spot was the sunken plane. This was cool but there was no visibility and the plane was pretty deep so after diving down a dozen times we were ready to go see some more coral. Ended up just taking us back to the hostel so it ended up being a pretty mediocre tour.
Very nice quiet hostel right on the ocean. A lot of good scuba diving around the hostel and a short walk to town. The bioluminescence tour was super cool. I would definitely check out that tour. The staff were very friendly and nice.

- showers were not refilled at night, they forgot - general accomodation is not worth the price - we had to wait that a group not from the hotel finished their snorkeling to use the equipment, and were not told they were coming (felt like outside people were prioritized) - we were eaten by sand flies and didn't get much warning, general introduction to the place and what to do around was very light
Staff and owner were nice, location is pretty great!

Kitchen was a little understocked in terms of crockery/cutlery but that's understandable.
Staff were really nice, I ended up having drinks and dinner by the bar and played Jenga with them during my stay there. Ecotours were available to be organised and taken from the hostel with a local guide. Nice cocktail happy hour at the bar every night. Mosquito nets in the dorm room and comfortable hammocks and chill out areas by the water.

All of the staff were really friendly, except for the main guy that walks around with his shirt off all the time. It's not that he was mean, but he seemed a bit arrogant and put out that you would bother him with a request. Other than that everyone was really helpful and seemed very happy to be there. I didn't get the best vibe from other travelers, but I suppose that depends on who is there..
