Hot as hell. No AC on site on a 90 degree weather. Put a fan in it and you have a convection oven. Might as well find more suitable accommodations

Super awesome location just steps from the beach. Space to park your car and be near all the action on the beach. Bar right next to hostel and other bars and eating places nearby. Only 2 problems: 1. internet is spotty at best. 2. Not hot water for showers - cold showers, ouch!
