Sea Sands Beach Hostel

I loved that the hostel is right beside the sea! It has a beautiful dining area where you can have your lunch/dinner while gazing at the sea. Or rest in the hammock or benches. Great for travelers who are backpacking. I liked that I had the option to choose between a female-only or mixed dormitory. They also have security cameras in the common area and as a solo female traveler I found that quite reassuring. No issues with the internet, you always have water, few snacks on the counter and an option to make tea (which was a life saver for me as someone who can’t live without tea!). It’s located near several restaurants and cute little souvenir shops. And lastly, the hosts were very polite, always quick to respond to any questions :)

Few of the things in the hostel can be upgraded. For example there is a water filter in the common area — so guests have access to clean water at all times — however, it feels very old and the water has an off-putting taste. Other than that, I don’t have any complaints, specially as the price is quite reasonable for the accommodation and service provided.

Hostel on the beach what’s not to like

Didn’t sleep for two nights as bar across the road was blaring out music til 6 am

People who are working there are the best

The hostel has a great view and is located right at the beach.

There was a bar/pub right across the street so no place to catch up on sleep
