The staff wonderfull. The place was clean, we had a private bedroom and I can say that it was really confortable. We didn't feel that we were at a hostel. I tried the restaurant/bar, was really good and the staff was friendly and super nice. I will go back there for sure on my next vacations and really recommend the place.

Wonderful hotel I had third floor private room with balcony, common area downstairs and the restaurant/ bar is a great hangout with nearby diving shops and airport. I left my phone in the Hotel and they shipped it as soon as they found out through the quick local airline from San Pedro to Belize city and got the phone to me while I was boarding my flight back home. Rooftop pool has beautiful views and is nice itself

First of all, this property is for ages 14 and up. I did not realize when biking and came with my 13 year old daughter. They let us stay, but made it clear that this was an Expedia error and not the norm. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay. Free paperboard to borrow, a beautiful pool and a good restaurant next door. The restaurant was a little pricey for our hostel budget, but convenient the first day when we arrived starving. The run was very clean with around AC and a safe. The kitchen was convenient for keeping food costs down, and despite the hostels reputation, it want too rowdy while we were there.
