I get that every backpackers...

Liked: Friendly people, friendly staff and great music playing throughout the day. Decent facilities and spacious kitchen/dining area and a ping pong table too. Shops and beach just down the road and a popular cafe right next door
Disliked: Although friendly and welcoming when shown to my room I was asked by the staff member if I had been here before and if he should show me upstairs. He must have misunderstood me when I said "I haven't" as he replied with "okay" and left. Kitchen/dining area was infested with flies. The F word is very popular here! And I can only assume that what I heard from behind a closed door was people sharing something naughty in the hallway
