I love this place.
This place was incredible. It’s our first time staying at a hostel but we had our own room. Being able to stay on the beach was such a cool experience and walking down from your room to hear local talents singing or over to Hennessey to enjoy incredible food. It was a great experience!

Budget friendly stay
Nicole was very helpful and nice she made the stay pretty good. ITH is good for travelers on a budget. The place is fairly decent. Would be awesome if the kitchen and dining are are cleaner and doesn't smell bad. I survived so far with the days I was there, I booked the place to mostly sleep and eat breakfast..the view was awesome though being near the beach makes up for it
