We booked a bunk bed room which was compact but clean and quite cozy. Though the bathrooms were outside, access to entire area was secure and showers were clean. Very nice on-site family friendly bar and restaurant facing the bay. Good budget or last minute accommodation for a short stay.

Clean, great location. Beds were lumpy and the courtyard was loud and bright until well after 3am but I appreciated them leaving ear plugs. I wouldn’t stay again. Easy check in and check out.

It’s pretty much what we expected. No frills room. However, it had a very musty moldy smell to it that never went away. No hot water in the shower. Wife said the mirror was too small. Everything else as described

The location is great. A few things to recognize: it is adjacent to Lazy Jack’s bar. A great place to hangout later into the night. Most places around close around 8 ro 9 pm. So there is late night bar noise. The second item is that there are communal showers and toilets. No private bathrooms This is not clear in the listing and why the rating is “medium”. The room was also small. It is clean, convenient, and the communal areas were kept very clean.

Our stay was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Great AC, various dining options, walkable to the beach, wifi, and easy check in and check out. The manager and staff were very kind and helpful over the phone on the days leading up to our stay.

We only stayed one night to do a biobay tour and this was the perfect location. The bunk beds were fun and although i was hesitant at first about the shared bathrooms, it worked out totally fine. Rooms had a/c and we slept well! Communication with the host was via text and very helpful and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Checkin process is all automated, with a lockbox for the room key. They DO have facilities to store your luggage if you arrive before checkin. It was very small but clean and for our short stay it was more than enough. If we had to stay longer I would probably choose elsewhere though

Shared bathroom
The weather was beautiful. Great location. Just be prepared to share bathrooms with no hand soap in any of them. And using the bathroom someone was on the roof with a leaf blower and blow water and leafs all over me when I was using the bathroom.

A super helpful staff that picks up the phone and helps out for a self check in hotel. Booked day of, had to change reservation like 3 times, and they helped me through it all. Room was super easy to get into, directions were smooth and simple, and the area was perfect. Right next to one of the most active parts of town, and a 8 minute walk from the Bio Bay tours. Be aware, there's no microwave in the room. AC worked amazing. Showers hot water lasted well, just don't blast it.

The room was clean and small. However, the rooms were clustered around a common courtyard. You could hear everyone coming and going. You could hear the shower being turned on in the next room. We couldnt sleep. We left after 2 days although we booked a 4 day trip. If you want to sleep- think twice about coming here. We were really unhappy with the set up. For 170 a night, we ecpected to at least be able to sleep through the night. The soap was pretty much water and it was a terrible experience all round. At that price find another place to go. Might be worth it if the prices were more of a hostel. But at 170 a night, we felt super ripped off. Also its a self service place and there was nobody after 5 to talk to about the noise. So youre pretty much stuck
