No water, no TV, mold all over the walls in the bathroom. The reception had no idea i was checking in that day, even though I booked the room a week in advance. We left even though we booked for 2 night.

It’s the perfect distance from the whale diving, simple convenient clean and friendly, but do know that this is a simple hostel, this one had ice cold air and the private room was perfect for me. It was just right for a single or couple, but having kids with you is a bit of a stretch.

Ideal spot for Whale Shark trip
The room as fairly small but had everything we needed for a single night. There’s not a lot to do in the evening other than have something to eat at one of the few restaurants but as you’ll be getting up early it’s probably not the priority.
Like most tourists we were here to do the whale shark trip. The location is perfect two minutes walk from where the boats leave. We got up at 4:00am and were in the queue by 4:15. We were about 30 from the front but by the time we’d done some waiting around been briefed and got our Life jackets it was 5:50 and the sun was up. We were supposed to be on boat 4 but some people seemed to be slow to get going and so we were promoted to boat 2 which was actually the first boat out! The sea was a bit rough but after just 5 minutes paddle we were with the whale sharks and soon in the water. I really enjoyed seeing these amazing creatures up close. You are supposed to stay 5 metres away but no one seems to have told the whale sharks at they come much closer!
Back to the hotel after the viewing for a shower. We were really thankful that we were so close and could get into dry clothes and have breakfast next door.
All in all a great place to stay the night before seeing the whale sharks.

친절한 호스텔
8인 도미토리 들어가니 1명이 더있어서 총 2명이 사용했고 사진이랑 똑같이 아름다운 숙소였어요. 켄과 여자호스트분도 너무 친절한 미소와 태도로 반겨주셔서 기분좋은 숙소였어요. 고래상어 투어도 저렴하게 550페소로 진행하며서 처음부터 끝까지 모두 알아서 처리해주셔서 넘 편했어요.
