The location is amazing, 1 min walk from the beach. Beautiful terrace and very calm atmosphere. They have a bar with a terrace facing the seashore. I only stayed one night, I wish I could have stayed more, to meet the staff and to get to know better the other guests.

The location was great, sunrise from the terrace, and sunset from the beach across the street. Very clean, smooth no-contact check in, close to the airport.

Katarina Spain

Really fabulous location with chill staff, wax hostel is a place to relax after a day exploring the surrounding beaches and nature. Amenities here are excellent as is the view from a wooden patio overlooking the water. The rooms come with lockers and are just fine, but it is the location, spacious living room, kitchen and modern toilets & showers that make this place special - and did I mention the location? A dream :)
