Just about everything was perfect. The staff is fun and friendly, the place is spotlessly clean, it’s right on the lake, there are daily tours and events to keep you busy, one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The vibes were immaculate.

IrelandThe location is great for views of the laguna and for eating at restaurants. Even from the dorm window there was an amazing view! The free activities offered are great and have a lot of variety. We participated in the mojo to class which was so much fun! Don’t forget to bring some change to give a tip to the instructors if you like what you participate in! The beds are comfy, though a a little noisy due to the cover on them. Great for cleanliness, but for a light sleeper, not ideal.
