Wunderschön gelegenes Hostel mit komfortablen und sauberen Zimmern. Das Essen ist super lecker und vielfältig. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Strand ist einfach idyllisch. Empfehlenswert ohne Einschränkung :) Immer wieder gerne!

Un petit paradis au clame avec tout sur place pour faire sa cuisine, boire un verre, profitez de la vue sur la mer. Cours de surf tous les jours, bar pour les plus fetards, propreté irréprochable, équipement pour faire sa cuisine complet (des repas sont aussi proposés) Je le recommande les yeux fermés
