A cut above most backpacker places, this chilled-out hostel has well-equipped en-suite dorms (with four or five beds) and double or triple rooms that put some motels in the shade – flat-screen TVs, modern bathrooms and comfy beds. Each room has an outdoor area with hammocks, and there's a lovely pool, a games room, a kitchen and helpful owners.
